Utilities for adding OpenTelemetry interoperability to tracing
.
tracing
is a framework for instrumenting Rust programs to collect
structured, event-based diagnostic information. This crate provides a
subscriber that connects spans from multiple systems into a trace and
emits them to OpenTelemetry-compatible distributed tracing systems
for processing and visualization.
The crate provides the following types:
OpenTelemetryLayer
adds OpenTelemetry context to alltracing
spans.OpenTelemetrySpanExt
allows OpenTelemetry parent trace information to be injected and extracted from atracing
span.
Compiler support: requires rustc
1.65
use opentelemetry::trace::TracerProvider as _;
use opentelemetry_sdk::trace::TracerProvider;
use opentelemetry_stdout as stdout;

use tracing_subscriber::layer::SubscriberExt;
use tracing_subscriber::Registry;
fn main() {
// Create a new OpenTelemetry trace pipeline that prints to stdout
let provider = TracerProvider::builder()
.with_simple_exporter(stdout::SpanExporter::default())
.build();
let tracer = provider.tracer("readme_example");
// Create a tracing layer with the configured tracer
let telemetry = tracing_opentelemetry::layer().with_tracer(tracer);
// Use the tracing subscriber `Registry`, or any other subscriber
// that impls `LookupSpan`
let subscriber = Registry::default().with(telemetry);
// Trace executed code
tracing::subscriber::with_default(subscriber, || {
// Spans will be sent to the configured OpenTelemetry exporter
let root = span!(tracing::Level::TRACE, "app_start", work_units = 2);
let _enter = root.enter();
error!("This event will be logged in the root span.");

metrics
: Enables theMetricsLayer
type, a layer that exports OpenTelemetry metrics from specifically-named events. This enables themetrics
feature flag on theopentelemetry
crate.
Tracing Opentelemetry is built against the latest stable release. The minimum supported version is 1.60. The current Tracing version is not guaranteed to build on Rust versions earlier than the minimum supported version.
Tracing follows the same compiler support policies as the rest of the Tokio project. The current stable Rust compiler and the three most recent minor versions before it will always be supported. For example, if the current stable compiler version is 1.45, the minimum supported version will not be increased past 1.42, three minor versions prior. Increasing the minimum supported compiler version is not considered a semver breaking change as long as doing so complies with this policy.
