OpenTelemetry Honeycomb Trace Exporter

OpenTelemetry Honeycomb Trace Exporter allows the user to send collected traces to Honeycomb.

Installation

npm install --save https://github.com/metered/opentelemetry-honeycomb-exporter-js

Usage

Install the exporter on your application and pass the options, it must contain a service name.

import { HoneycombExporter } from '@honeycombio/opentelemetry-exporter';

const exporter = new HoneycombExporter({
  logger: console,
  serviceName: "my-service",
  libhoney: {
    writeKey: 'honeycomb-api-key',
    dataset: 'my-dataset',
  }
})

Now, register the exporter.

tracer.addSpanProcessor(new BatchSpanProcessor(exporter));

You can use built-in SimpleSpanProcessor or BatchSpanProcessor or write your own.

• SimpleSpanProcessor: The implementation of SpanProcessor that passes ended span directly to the configured SpanExporter.
• BatchSpanProcessor: The implementation of the SpanProcessor that batches ended spans and pushes them to the configured SpanExporter. It is recommended to use this SpanProcessor for better performance and optimization.
