Overview

Package trace contains types for representing trace information, and functions for global configuration of tracing.

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

Enabling Tracing for a Program

To use OpenCensus tracing, register at least one Exporter. You can use one of the provided exporters or write your own. 

trace.RegisterExporter(anExporter)

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

trace.SetDefaultSampler(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, "your choice of name")
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.

As a suggestion, use the fully-qualified function name as the span name, e.g. "github.com/me/mypackage.Run".

Functions

func RegisterExporter 

func RegisterExporter(e Exporter)

RegisterExporter adds to the list of Exporters that will receive sampled trace spans.

func SetDefaultSampler 

func SetDefaultSampler(sampler Sampler)

SetDefaultSampler sets the default sampler used when creating new spans.

func UnregisterExporter 

func UnregisterExporter(e Exporter)

UnregisterExporter removes from the list of Exporters the Exporter that was registered with the given name.

func WithSpan 

func WithSpan(parent context.Context, s *Span) context.Context

WithSpan returns a new context with the given Span attached.

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 interface {
	// contains filtered or unexported methods
}

Attribute is an interface for attributes; it is implemented by BoolAttribute, IntAttribute, and StringAttribute.

type BoolAttribute 

type BoolAttribute struct {
	Key   string
	Value bool
}

BoolAttribute represents a bool-valued attribute.

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 Int64Attribute 

type Int64Attribute struct {
	Key   string
	Value int64
}

Int64Attribute represents an int64-valued attribute. 

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 interface {
	Sample(p SamplingParameters) SamplingDecision
}

Sampler is an interface for values that have a method that the trace library can call to determine whether to export a trace's spans.

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 

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.

func NewSpanWithRemoteParent 

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

NewSpanWithRemoteParent returns a new span with the given parent SpanContext.

func StartSpan 

func StartSpan(ctx context.Context, name string) (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 StartSpanWithOptions 

func StartSpanWithOptions(ctx context.Context, name string, o StartOptions) (context.Context, *Span)

StartSpanWithOptions 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.

func StartSpanWithRemoteParent 

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

StartSpanWithRemoteParent starts a new child span with the given parent SpanContext.

If there is an existing span in ctx, it is ignored -- the returned Span is a child of the span specified by parent. 

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.

	RecordEvents bool

	Sampler Sampler // if non-nil, the Sampler to consult for this span.

	// RegisterNameForLocalSpanStore indicates that a local span store for spans
	// of this name should be created, if one does not exist.
	// If RecordEvents is false, this option has no effect.
	RegisterNameForLocalSpanStore bool
}

StartOptions contains options concerning how a span is started.

type Status 

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