Overview

tracing is a framework for instrumenting Rust programs to collect structured, event-based diagnostic information. This crate provides a layer that connects spans from multiple systems into a trace and emits them to OpenTelemetry-compatible distributed tracing systems for processing and visualization.

The crate provides the following types:

Examples

Basic Usage

use opentelemetry::{api::Provider, sdk};
use tracing::{error, span};
use tracing_subscriber::layer::SubscriberExt;
use tracing_subscriber::Registry;

fn main() {
    // Create a new tracer
    let tracer = sdk::Provider::default().get_tracer("component_name");

    // Create a new OpenTelemetry tracing layer
    let telemetry = tracing_opentelemetry::layer().with_tracer(tracer);

    let subscriber = Registry::default().with(telemetry);

    // Trace executed code
    tracing::subscriber::with_default(subscriber, || {
        let root = span!(tracing::Level::TRACE, "app_start", work_units = 2);
        let _enter = root.enter();

        error!("This event will be logged in the root span.");
    });
}

Visualization example

# Run a supported collector like jaeger in the background
$ docker run -d -p6831:6831/udp -p6832:6832/udp -p16686:16686 jaegertracing/all-in-one:latest

# Run example to produce spans (from parent examples directory)
$ cargo run --example opentelemetry

# View spans (see the image below)
$ firefox http://localhost:16686/
