Question: Tracer vs logger

[gianarb]

Hello!

My focus atm is on instrumentation, I wrote my logger and my tracer using zap. It is kind of working I think, but I do not understand the difference. Looking at the Tracer and how it is used in queue.go it logs and that's it. I would like to do a trace such as OpenTracing, OpenTeletry. Do you have any suggestions? I think I can do a mix of middleware/event but I would like to get a direction from you.

Thanks a lot

Sorry for the late reply, the Tracer is only responsible to report errors (think sentry) and the logger is an internal component to log internal events of bokchoy.

You can disable the internal logger and keep the tracer, that's why there are completely different components.

I hope I answered your question, don't hesitate if it's not the case.

Thanks for the explanation.
Do you have any suggestion about how I can/should instrument this library with opentracing or similar?! Thanks
