Overview

Package trace contains support for OpenCensus distributed tracing.

The following assumes a basic familiarity with OpenCensus concepts. See http://opencensus.io

Exporting Traces

To export collected tracing data, register at least one exporter. You can use one of the provided exporters or write your own. 

trace.RegisterExporter(exporter)

By default, traces will be sampled relatively rarely. To change the sampling frequency for your entire program, call ApplyConfig. Use a ProbabilitySampler to sample a subset of traces, or use AlwaysSample to collect a trace on every run: 

trace.ApplyConfig(trace.Config{DefaultSampler: trace.AlwaysSample()})

Adding Spans to a Trace

A trace consists of a tree of spans. In Go, the current span is carried in a context.Context.

It is common to want to capture all the activity of a function call in a span. For this to work, the function must take a context.Context as a parameter. Add these two lines to the top of the function: 

ctx, span := trace.StartSpan(ctx, "my.org/Run")
defer span.End()

StartSpan will create a new top-level span if the context doesn't contain another span, otherwise it will create a child span.

Deprecated: Use NewContext.

Types

type Annotation 

type Annotation struct {
	Time       time.Time
	Message    string
	Attributes map[string]interface{}
}

Annotation represents a text annotation with a set of attributes and a timestamp.

type Attribute 

type Attribute struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Attribute represents a key-value pair on a span, link or annotation. Construct with one of: BoolAttribute, Int64Attribute, or StringAttribute.

func BoolAttribute 

func BoolAttribute(key string, value bool) Attribute

BoolAttribute returns a bool-valued attribute.

func Int64Attribute 

func Int64Attribute(key string, value int64) Attribute

func StringAttribute 

func StringAttribute(key string, value string) Attribute

StringAttribute returns a string-valued attribute.

type Config added in v0.7.0 

type Config struct {
	// DefaultSampler is the default sampler used when creating new spans.
	DefaultSampler Sampler

	// IDGenerator is for internal use only.
	IDGenerator internal.IDGenerator
}

Config represents the global tracing configuration.

type Exporter 

type Exporter interface {
	ExportSpan(s *SpanData)
}

Exporter is a type for functions that receive sampled trace spans.

The ExportSpan method should be safe for concurrent use and should return quickly; if an Exporter takes a significant amount of time to process a SpanData, that work should be done on another goroutine.

The SpanData should not be modified, but a pointer to it can be kept. 

type Link struct {
	TraceID TraceID
	SpanID  SpanID
	Type    LinkType
	// Attributes is a set of attributes on the link.
	Attributes map[string]interface{}
}

Link represents a reference from one span to another span.

type LinkType 

type LinkType int32

LinkType specifies the relationship between the span that had the link added, and the linked span. 

const (
	LinkTypeUnspecified LinkType = iota // The relationship of the two spans is unknown.
	LinkTypeChild                       // The current span is a child of the linked span.
	LinkTypeParent                      // The current span is the parent of the linked span.
)

LinkType values.

type MessageEvent 

type MessageEvent struct {
	Time                 time.Time
	EventType            MessageEventType
	MessageID            int64
	UncompressedByteSize int64
	CompressedByteSize   int64
}

MessageEvent represents an event describing a message sent or received on the network.

type MessageEventType 

type MessageEventType int32

MessageEventType specifies the type of message event. 

const (
	MessageEventTypeUnspecified MessageEventType = iota // Unknown event type.
	MessageEventTypeSent                                // Indicates a sent RPC message.
	MessageEventTypeRecv                                // Indicates a received RPC message.
)

MessageEventType values.

type Sampler 

type Sampler func(SamplingParameters) SamplingDecision

Sampler decides whether a trace should be sampled and exported.

func AlwaysSample 

func AlwaysSample() Sampler

AlwaysSample returns a Sampler that samples every trace.

func NeverSample 

func NeverSample() Sampler

NeverSample returns a Sampler that samples no traces.

func ProbabilitySampler 

func ProbabilitySampler(fraction float64) Sampler

ProbabilitySampler returns a Sampler that samples a given fraction of traces.

It also samples spans whose parents are sampled.

type SamplingDecision 

type SamplingDecision struct {
	Sample bool
}

SamplingDecision is the value returned by a Sampler.

type SamplingParameters 

type SamplingParameters struct {
	ParentContext   SpanContext
	TraceID         TraceID
	SpanID          SpanID
	Name            string
	HasRemoteParent bool
}

SamplingParameters contains the values passed to a Sampler.

type Span 

type Span struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Span represents a span of a trace. It has an associated SpanContext, and stores data accumulated while the span is active.

Ideally users should interact with Spans by calling the functions in this package that take a Context parameter.

func FromContext 

func FromContext(ctx context.Context) *Span

FromContext returns the Span stored in a context, or nil if there isn't one.

func NewSpan deprecated 

func NewSpan(name string, parent *Span, o StartOptions) *Span

NewSpan returns a new span.

If parent is not nil, created span will be a child of the parent.

Deprecated: Use StartSpan.

func NewSpanWithRemoteParent deprecated 

func NewSpanWithRemoteParent(name string, parent SpanContext, o StartOptions) *Span

NewSpanWithRemoteParent returns a new span with the given parent SpanContext.

Deprecated: Use StartSpanWithRemoteParent.

func StartSpan 

func StartSpan(ctx context.Context, name string, o ...StartOption) (context.Context, *Span)

StartSpan starts a new child span of the current span in the context. If there is no span in the context, creates a new trace and span.

Example

This example shows how to use StartSpan and (*Span).End to capture a function execution in a Span. It assumes that the function has a context.Context argument. 

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"go.opencensus.io/trace"
	"golang.org/x/net/context"
)

func main() {
	printEvens := func(ctx context.Context) {
		ctx, span := trace.StartSpan(ctx, "my/package.Function")
		defer span.End()

		for i := 0; i < 10; i++ {
			if i%2 == 0 {
				fmt.Printf("Even!\n")
			}
		}
	}

	ctx := context.Background()
	printEvens(ctx)
}

Output:

func StartSpanWithRemoteParent 

func StartSpanWithRemoteParent(ctx context.Context, name string, parent SpanContext, o ...StartOption) (context.Context, *Span)

StartSpanWithRemoteParent starts a new child span of the span from the given parent.

If the incoming context contains a parent, it ignores. StartSpanWithRemoteParent is preferred for cases where the parent is propagated via an incoming request.

func (*Span) AddAttributes added in v0.5.0 

func (s *Span) AddAttributes(attributes ...Attribute)

AddAttributes sets attributes in the span.

Existing attributes whose keys appear in the attributes parameter are overwritten. 

func (s *Span) AddLink(l Link)

AddLink adds a link to the span.

func (*Span) AddMessageReceiveEvent 

func (s *Span) AddMessageReceiveEvent(messageID, uncompressedByteSize, compressedByteSize int64)

AddMessageReceiveEvent adds a message receive event to the span.

messageID is an identifier for the message, which is recommended to be unique in this span and the same between the send event and the receive event (this allows to identify a message between the sender and receiver). For example, this could be a sequence id.

func (*Span) AddMessageSendEvent 

func (s *Span) AddMessageSendEvent(messageID, uncompressedByteSize, compressedByteSize int64)

AddMessageSendEvent adds a message send event to the span.

messageID is an identifier for the message, which is recommended to be unique in this span and the same between the send event and the receive event (this allows to identify a message between the sender and receiver). For example, this could be a sequence id.

type SpanData 

type SpanData struct {
	SpanContext
	ParentSpanID SpanID
	SpanKind     int
	Name         string
	StartTime    time.Time
	// The wall clock time of EndTime will be adjusted to always be offset

func WithSpanKind(spanKind int) StartOption

WithSpanKind makes new spans to be created with the given kind.

type StartOptions added in v0.2.0 

type StartOptions struct {
	// Sampler to consult for this Span. If provided, it is always consulted.
	//
	// If not provided, then the behavior differs based on whether
	// the parent of this Span is remote, local, or there is no parent.
	// In the case of a remote parent or no parent, the
	// default sampler (see Config) will be consulted. Otherwise,
	// when there is a non-remote parent, no new sampling decision will be made:
	// we will preserve the sampling of the parent.
	Sampler Sampler

	// SpanKind represents the kind of a span. If none is set,
	// SpanKindUnspecified is used.
	SpanKind int
}

StartOptions contains options concerning how a span is started.

type Status 

type Status struct {
	// Code is a status code.  Zero indicates success.
