Span Processor

Supported pipeline types: traces

The span processor modifies either the span name or attributes of a span based on the span name. Please refer to config.go for the config spec.

It optionally supports the ability to include/exclude spans.

The following actions are supported:

  • name: Modify the name of attributes within a span
Name a span

The following settings are required:

  • from_attributes: The attribute value for the keys are used to create a new name in the order specified in the configuration.

The following settings can be optionally configured:

  • separator: A string, which is specified will be used to split values

Note: If renaming is dependent on attributes being modified by the attributes processor, ensure the span processor is specified after the attributes processor in the pipeline specification.

span:
  name:
    # from_attributes represents the attribute keys to pull the values from to generate the
    # new span name.
    from_attributes: [<key1>, <key2>, ...]
    # Separator is the string used to concatenate various parts of the span name.
    separator: <value>

Example:

span:
  name:
    from_attributes: ["db.svc", "operation"]
    separator: "::"

Refer to config.yaml for detailed examples on using the processor.

Extract attributes from span name

Takes a list of regular expressions to match span name against and extract attributes from it based on subexpressions. Must be specified under the to_attributes section.

The following settings are required:

  • rules: A list of rules to extract attribute values from span name. The values in the span name are replaced by extracted attribute names. Each rule in the list is regex pattern string. Span name is checked against the regex and if the regex matches then all named subexpressions of the regex are extracted as attributes and are added to the span. Each subexpression name becomes an attribute name and subexpression matched portion becomes the attribute value. The matched portion in the span name is replaced by extracted attribute name. If the attributes already exist in the span then they will be overwritten. The process is repeated for all rules in the order they are specified. Each subsequent rule works on the span name that is the output after processing the previous rule.
  • break_after_match (default = false): specifies if processing of rules should stop after the first match. If it is false rule processing will continue to be performed over the modified span name.
span/to_attributes:
  name:
    to_attributes:
      rules:
        - regexp-rule1
        - regexp-rule2
        - regexp-rule3
        ...
      break_after_match: <true|false>

Example:

# Let's assume input span name is /api/v1/document/12345678/update
# Applying the following results in output span name /api/v1/document/{documentId}/update
# and will add a new attribute "documentId"="12345678" to the span.
span/to_attributes:
  name:
    to_attributes:
      rules:
        - ^\/api\/v1\/document\/(?P<documentId>.*)\/update$

Refer to config.yaml for detailed examples on using the processor.

Functions

func NewFactory

func NewFactory() component.ProcessorFactory

NewFactory returns a new factory for the Span processor.

Types

type Config

type Config struct {
	configmodels.ProcessorSettings `mapstructure:",squash"`

	filterconfig.MatchConfig `mapstructure:",squash"`

	// Rename specifies the components required to re-name a span.
	// The `from_attributes` field needs to be set for this processor to be properly
	// configured.
	// Note: The field name is `Rename` to avoid collision with the Name() method
	// from configmodels.ProcessorSettings.NamedEntity
	Rename Name `mapstructure:"name"`
}

Config is the configuration for the span processor. Prior to any actions being applied, each span is compared against the include properties and then the exclude properties if they are specified. This determines if a span is to be processed or not.

type Name

type Name struct {

	// FromAttributes represents the attribute keys to pull the values from to
	// generate the new span name. All attribute keys are required in the span
	// to re-name a span. If any attribute is missing from the span, no re-name
	// will occur.
	// Note: The new span name is constructed in order of the `from_attributes`
	// specified in the configuration. This field is required and cannot be empty.
	FromAttributes []string `mapstructure:"from_attributes"`

	// Separator is the string used to separate attributes values in the new
	// span name. If no value is set, no separator is used between attribute
	// values. Used with FromAttributes only.
	Separator string `mapstructure:"separator"`

	// ToAttributes specifies a configuration to extract attributes from span name.
	ToAttributes *ToAttributes `mapstructure:"to_attributes"`
}

Name specifies the attributes to use to re-name a span.

type ToAttributes

type ToAttributes struct {
	// Rules is a list of rules to extract attribute values from span name. The values
	// in the span name are replaced by extracted attribute names. Each rule in the list
	// is a regex pattern string. Span name is checked against the regex. If it matches
	// then all named subexpressions of the regex are extracted as attributes
	// and are added to the span. Each subexpression name becomes an attribute name and
	// subexpression matched portion becomes the attribute value. The matched portion
	// in the span name is replaced by extracted attribute name. If the attributes
	// already exist in the span then they will be overwritten. The process is repeated
	// for all rules in the order they are specified. Each subsequent rule works on the
	// span name that is the output after processing the previous rule.
	Rules []string `mapstructure:"rules"`

	// BreakAfterMatch specifies if processing of rules should stop after the first
	// match. If it is false rule processing will continue to be performed over the
	// modified span name.
	BreakAfterMatch bool `mapstructure:"break_after_match"`
}
