fastrace-tracing

A compatibility layer that connects toiok-tracing with the fastrace tracing library.

Overview

fastrace-tracing allows you to capture spans and events from libraries that use tokio-tracing and forward them to fastrace. This is particularly useful when:

• You're using fastrace in your application but depend on libraries instrumented with tokio-tracing
• You want to migrate from tokio-tracing to fastrace incrementally

Getting Started

Add fastrace-tracing to your project:

[dependencies]
fastrace = { version = "0.7", features = ["enable"] }
fastrace-tracing = "0.1"
tracing = "0.1"
tracing-subscriber = "0.3"

Set up the compatibility layer:

use fastrace::collector::{Config, ConsoleReporter};
use fastrace::prelude::*;
use tracing_subscriber::layer::SubscriberExt;

// Initialize fastrace.
fastrace::set_reporter(ConsoleReporter, Config::default());

// Set up tokio-tracing with the fastrace compatibility layer.
let subscriber = tracing_subscriber::Registry::default()
    .with(fastrace_tracing::FastraceCompatLayer::new());
tracing::subscriber::set_global_default(subscriber).unwrap();

{
    // Create a fastrace root span.
    let root = Span::root("my-application", SpanContext::random());
    
    // Set a fastrace span as the local parent - this is critical for connecting the 
    // tokio-tracing spans with the fastrace span.
    let _guard = root.set_local_parent();

    // Spans from tokio-tracing will be captured by fastrace.
    let span = tracing::span!(tracing::Level::INFO, "my_operation");
    let _enter = span.enter();

    // Events from tokio-tracing will also be captured by fastrace.
    tracing::info!("This will be captured by fastrace");
}

// Don't forget to flush before your application exits.
fastrace::flush();
