Functions

func AddMiddleware

func AddMiddleware(sensor instana.TracerLogger, engine *gin.Engine)

AddMiddleware adds the tracing middleware to the list of Gin handlers. Unlike the gin.Use method, it puts the middleware to the beginning of the list, to allow the tracing of default handlers added by the gin.Default() call.

func Default

func Default(sensor instana.TracerLogger) *gin.Engine

Default is wrapper for gin.Default()

func New

func New(sensor instana.TracerLogger) *gin.Engine

New is wrapper for gin.New()
