# OpenTracing API for Go
|
|
|
|
This package is a Go platform API for OpenTracing.
|
|
|
|
## Required Reading
|
|
|
|
In order to understand the Go platform API, one must first be familiar with the
|
|
[OpenTracing project](http://opentracing.io) and
|
|
[terminology](http://opentracing.io/documentation/pages/spec.html) more specifically.
|
|
|
|
## API overview for those adding instrumentation
|
|
|
|
Everyday consumers of this `opentracing` package really only need to worry
|
|
about a couple of key abstractions: the `StartSpan` function, the `Span`
|
|
interface, and binding a `Tracer` at `main()`-time. Here are code snippets
|
|
demonstrating some important use cases.
|
|
|
|
#### Singleton initialization
|
|
|
|
The simplest starting point is `./default_tracer.go`. As early as possible, call
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
import "github.com/opentracing/opentracing-go"
|
|
import ".../some_tracing_impl"
|
|
|
|
func main() {
|
|
opentracing.InitGlobalTracer(
|
|
// tracing impl specific:
|
|
some_tracing_impl.New(...),
|
|
)
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
##### Non-Singleton initialization
|
|
|
|
If you prefer direct control to singletons, manage ownership of the
|
|
`opentracing.Tracer` implementation explicitly.
|
|
|
|
#### Creating a Span given an existing Go `context.Context`
|
|
|
|
If you use `context.Context` in your application, OpenTracing's Go library will
|
|
happily rely on it for `Span` propagation. To start a new (blocking child)
|
|
`Span`, you can use `StartSpanFromContext`.
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
func xyz(ctx context.Context, ...) {
|
|
...
|
|
span, ctx := opentracing.StartSpanFromContext(ctx, "operation_name")
|
|
defer span.Finish()
|
|
span.LogFields(
|
|
log.String("event", "soft error"),
|
|
log.String("type", "cache timeout"),
|
|
log.Int("waited.millis", 1500))
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Starting an empty trace by creating a "root span"
|
|
|
|
It's always possible to create a "root" `Span` with no parent or other causal
|
|
reference.
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
func xyz() {
|
|
...
|
|
sp := opentracing.StartSpan("operation_name")
|
|
defer sp.Finish()
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Creating a (child) Span given an existing (parent) Span
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
func xyz(parentSpan opentracing.Span, ...) {
|
|
...
|
|
sp := opentracing.StartSpan(
|
|
"operation_name",
|
|
opentracing.ChildOf(parentSpan.Context()))
|
|
defer sp.Finish()
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Serializing to the wire
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
func makeSomeRequest(ctx context.Context) ... {
|
|
if span := opentracing.SpanFromContext(ctx); span != nil {
|
|
httpClient := &http.Client{}
|
|
httpReq, _ := http.NewRequest("GET", "http://myservice/", nil)
|
|
|
|
// Transmit the span's TraceContext as HTTP headers on our
|
|
// outbound request.
|
|
opentracing.GlobalTracer().Inject(
|
|
span.Context(),
|
|
opentracing.HTTPHeaders,
|
|
opentracing.HTTPHeadersCarrier(httpReq.Header))
|
|
|
|
resp, err := httpClient.Do(httpReq)
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Deserializing from the wire
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
http.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
|
|
var serverSpan opentracing.Span
|
|
appSpecificOperationName := ...
|
|
wireContext, err := opentracing.GlobalTracer().Extract(
|
|
opentracing.HTTPHeaders,
|
|
opentracing.HTTPHeadersCarrier(req.Header))
|
|
if err != nil {
|
|
// Optionally record something about err here
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Create the span referring to the RPC client if available.
|
|
// If wireContext == nil, a root span will be created.
|
|
serverSpan = opentracing.StartSpan(
|
|
appSpecificOperationName,
|
|
ext.RPCServerOption(wireContext))
|
|
|
|
defer serverSpan.Finish()
|
|
|
|
ctx := opentracing.ContextWithSpan(context.Background(), serverSpan)
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Conditionally capture a field using `log.Noop`
|
|
|
|
In some situations, you may want to dynamically decide whether or not
|
|
to log a field. For example, you may want to capture additional data,
|
|
such as a customer ID, in non-production environments:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
func Customer(order *Order) log.Field {
|
|
if os.Getenv("ENVIRONMENT") == "dev" {
|
|
return log.String("customer", order.Customer.ID)
|
|
}
|
|
return log.Noop()
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Goroutine-safety
|
|
|
|
The entire public API is goroutine-safe and does not require external
|
|
synchronization.
|
|
|
|
## API pointers for those implementing a tracing system
|
|
|
|
Tracing system implementors may be able to reuse or copy-paste-modify the `basictracer` package, found [here](https://github.com/opentracing/basictracer-go). In particular, see `basictracer.New(...)`.
|
|
|
|
## API compatibility
|
|
|
|
For the time being, "mild" backwards-incompatible changes may be made without changing the major version number. As OpenTracing and `opentracing-go` mature, backwards compatibility will become more of a priority.
