This repository includes multiple installable packages. The opentelemetry-api
package includes abstract classes and no-op implementations that comprise the OpenTelemetry API following
the
specification.
The opentelemetry-sdk package is the reference implementation of the API.
Libraries that produce telemetry data should only depend on opentelemetry-api,
and defer the choice of the SDK to the application developer. Applications may
depend on opentelemetry-sdk or another package that implements the API.
Please note that this library is currently in beta for tracing.
The API and SDK packages are available on RubyGems.org, and can be installed via gem:
gem install opentelemetry-api
gem install opentelemetry-sdkor via Bundler by adding the following to your Gemfile:
gem 'opentelemetry-api'
gem 'opentelemetry-sdk'followed by:
bundle installTo install development versions of these packages, follow the Docker Setup instructions.
require 'opentelemetry/sdk'
# Configure the sdk with default export and context propagation formats
# see SDK#configure for customizing the setup
OpenTelemetry::SDK.configure
# To start a trace you need to get a Tracer from the TracerProvider
tracer = OpenTelemetry.tracer_provider.tracer('my_app_or_gem', '0.1.0')
# create a span
tracer.in_span('foo') do |span|
# set an attribute
span.set_attribute('platform', 'osx')
# add an event
span.add_event('event in bar')
# create bar as child of foo
tracer.in_span('bar') do |child_span|
# inspect the span
pp child_span
end
endSee the API Documentation for more detail, and the opentelemetry examples for a complete example including context propagation.
This repository contains instrumentation libraries for many popular Ruby gems, including Rails, Rack, Sinatra, and others, so you can start using OpenTelemetry with minimal changes to your application. See the instrumentation README for more.
OpenTelemetry Ruby is in use by a number of companies, including:
