OpenTelemetry-Go

Circle CI Docs Go Report Card Gitter

The Go OpenTelemetry client.

Installation

This repository includes multiple packages. The api package contains core data types, interfaces and no-op implementations that comprise the OpenTelemetry API following the specification. The sdk package is the reference implementation of the API.

Libraries that produce telemetry data should only depend on api and defer the choice of the SDK to the application developer. Applications may depend on sdk or another package that implements the API.

All packages are published to github.com/Ch1f/otel and is the preferred location to import from.

Quick Start

Below is a brief example of importing OpenTelemetry, initializing a tracer and creating some simple spans.

package main

import (
	"context"
	"log"

	"github.com/Ch1f/otel/api/global"
	"github.com/Ch1f/otel/exporters/trace/stdout"
	sdktrace "github.com/Ch1f/otel/sdk/trace"
)

func initTracer() {
	exporter, err := stdout.NewExporter(stdout.Options{PrettyPrint: true})
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	tp, err := sdktrace.NewProvider(sdktrace.WithConfig(sdktrace.Config{DefaultSampler: sdktrace.AlwaysSample()}),
		sdktrace.WithSyncer(exporter))
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	global.SetTraceProvider(tp)
}

func main() {
	initTracer()
	tracer := global.Tracer("ex.com/basic")

	tracer.WithSpan(context.Background(), "foo",
		func(ctx context.Context) error {
			tracer.WithSpan(ctx, "bar",
				func(ctx context.Context) error {
					tracer.WithSpan(ctx, "baz",
						func(ctx context.Context) error {
							return nil
						},
					)
					return nil
				},
			)
			return nil
		},
	)
}

See the API documentation for more detail, and the opentelemetry-example-app for a complete example.

Compatible Exporters

See the Go packages depending upon sdk/export/trace and sdk/export/metric for a list of all exporters compatible with OpenTelemetry's Go SDK.

Compatible Libraries

See the opentelemetry-go-contrib repo for packages that facilitates instrumenting other useful Go libraries with opentelemetry-go for distributed tracing and monitoring.
