Functions

func InitTracerProvider

func InitTracerProvider(log logging.Logger, otelCollectorAddress string, dialTimeout, exportInterval time.Duration) (func(context.Context), error)

InitTracerProvider configures a global tracer provider and dials to the OTEL Collector. Failing in doing so returns an error since service actively export their traces and require the Collector to be up. Returns a shutdown function that should be called at the end of the program to flush all in-momory traces.

func SetAndRecordError
