Stackdriver-compatible tracing Subscriber

tracing-stackdriver

A tracing Subscriber for communicating Stackdriver-formatted logs

tracing is a scoped, structured logging and diagnostic system based on emitting Events in the context of potentially-nested Spans across asynchronous await points. These properties make tracing ideal for use with Google Cloud Operations Suite structured logging (formerly Stackdriver). This crate provides a Layer for use with a tracing Registry that formats tracing Spans and Events into properly-structured JSON for consumption by Google Operations Logging through the jsonPayload field. This includes the following behaviors and enhancements:

  1. rfc3339-formatted timestamps for all Events
  2. severity (in LogSeverity format) derived from tracing Level
  3. target derived from the Event target Metadata
  4. Span name and custom fields included under a span key
  5. automatic nesting of http_request.-prefixed event fields
  6. automatic camelCase-ing of all field keys (e.g. http_request -> httpRequest)

Examples

Basic setup:

use tracing_subscriber::{layer::SubscriberExt, Registry};
use tracing_stackdriver::Stackdriver;

fn main() {
    let stackdriver = Stackdriver::default(); // writes to std::io::Stdout
    let subscriber = Registry::default().with(stackdriver);

    tracing::subscriber::set_global_default(subscriber).expect("Could not set up global logger");
}

Custom write location:

use tracing_subscriber::{layer::SubscriberExt, Registry};
use tracing_stackdriver::Stackdriver;

fn main() {
    let make_writer = || std::io::Stderr;
    let stackdriver = Stackdriver::with_writer(make_writer); // writes to std::io::Stderr
    let subscriber = Registry::default().with(stackdriver);

    tracing::subscriber::set_global_default(subscriber).expect("Could not set up global logger");
}

With httpRequest fields:

See all available fields here

// requires working global setup (see above examples)

use hyper::Request;

fn handle_request(request: Request) {
  let method = &request.method();
  let uri = &request.uri();

  tracing::info!(
    http_request.request_method = %method,
    http_request.request_url = %uri,
    "Request received"
  );

  // jsonPayload formatted as:
  // {
  //   "time": "some-timestamp"
  //   "severity": "INFO",
  //   "httpRequest": {
  //     "requestMethod": "GET",
  //     "requestUrl": "/some/url/from/request"
  //    },
  //   "message": "Request received"
  // }
}

Roadmap:

  1. type-safe http_requests derived from Google's REST v2 spec
  2. distributing tracing data in Cloud Trace format
