OpenTelemetry Instrumentation ============================= |pypi| .. |pypi| image:: https://badge.fury.io/py/opentelemetry-instrumentation.svg :target: https://pypi.org/project/opentelemetry-instrumentation/ Installation ------------ :: pip install opentelemetry-instrumentation This package provides commands that help automatically instrument a program: .. note:: You need to install a distro package to get auto instrumentation working. The ``opentelemetry-distro`` package contains the default distro and configurator and automatically configures some of the common options for users. For more info about ``opentelemetry-distro`` check `here <https://opentelemetry-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples/distro/README.html>`__ :: pip install "opentelemetry-distro[otlp]" When creating a custom distro and/or configurator, be sure to add entry points for each under `opentelemetry_distro` and `opentelemetry_configurator` respectfully. If you have entry points for multiple distros or configurators present in your environment, you should specify the entry point name of the distro and configurator you want to be used via the `OTEL_PYTHON_DISTRO` and `OTEL_PYTHON_CONFIGURATOR` environment variables. opentelemetry-bootstrap ----------------------- :: opentelemetry-bootstrap [-a |--action=][install|requirements] This command install default instrumentation packages and detects active Python site-packages to figure out which instrumentation packages the user might want to install. By default, it prints out a list of the default and detected instrumentation packages that can be added to a requirements.txt file. It also supports installing the packages when run with :code:`--action=install` or :code:`-a install` flag. All default and detectable instrumentation packages are defined `here <https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python-contrib/blob/main/opentelemetry-instrumentation/src/opentelemetry/instrumentation/bootstrap_gen.py>`. opentelemetry-instrument ------------------------ :: opentelemetry-instrument python program.py The instrument command will try to automatically detect packages used by your python program and when possible, apply automatic tracing instrumentation on them. This means your program will get automatic distributed tracing without having to make any code changes. This will also configure a global tracer and tracing exporter as well as a meter and meter exporter. By default, the instrument command will use the OTLP exporter but this can be overridden. The command supports the following configuration options as CLI arguments and environment variables: * ``--traces_exporter`` or ``OTEL_TRACES_EXPORTER`` * ``--metrics_exporter`` or ``OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER`` * ``--distro`` or ``OTEL_PYTHON_DISTRO`` * ``--configurator`` or ``OTEL_PYTHON_CONFIGURATOR`` The exporter options define what exporter destination to use and can be set to one or more exporter names (see below). You can pass multiple values to configure multiple exporters (e.g., ``zipkin_json,otlp``). - Defaults to `otlp`. - Can be set to `none` to disable automatic tracer initialization. - Can be set to 'console` to display JSON results locally. Trace exporter names: - jaeger_proto - jaeger_thrift - opencensus - otlp - otlp_proto_grpc (`deprecated`) - otlp_proto_http (`deprecated`) - zipkin_json - zipkin_proto Metric exporter names: - otlp - otlp_proto_grpc (`deprecated`) - prometheus Note: The default transport protocol for ``otlp`` is gRPC. * ``--id-generator`` or ``OTEL_PYTHON_ID_GENERATOR`` Used to specify which IDs Generator to use for the global Tracer Provider. By default, it will use the random IDs generator. The code in ``program.py`` needs to use one of the packages for which there is an OpenTelemetry integration. For a list of the available integrations please check `here <https://opentelemetry-python.readthedocs.io/en/stable/index.html#integrations>`_ * ``OTEL_PYTHON_DISABLED_INSTRUMENTATIONS`` If set by the user, opentelemetry-instrument will read this environment variable to disable specific instrumentations. e.g OTEL_PYTHON_DISABLED_INSTRUMENTATIONS="requests,django" If the variables contains ``*`` as member no instrumentation will be enabled. * ``OTEL_PYTHON_AUTO_INSTRUMENTATION_EXPERIMENTAL_GEVENT_PATCH`` If set by the user to `patch_all` , opentelemetry instrument will call the gevent monkeypatching method ``patch_all``. This is considered experimental but can be useful to instrument gevent applications. e.g OTEL_PYTHON_AUTO_INSTRUMENTATION_EXPERIMENTAL_GEVENT_PATCH=patch_all Examples ^^^^^^^^ :: opentelemetry-instrument --traces_exporter console flask run --port=3000 The above command will pass ``--traces_exporter console`` to the instrument command and ``--port=3000`` to ``flask run``. :: opentelemetry-instrument --traces_exporter zipkin_json,otlp celery -A tasks wor
