Struct tracing_subscriber::Registry[][src]

pub struct Registry { /* fields omitted */ }
This is supported on crate features registry and std only.
Expand description

A shared, reusable store for spans.

A Registry is a Subscriber around which multiple Layers implementing various behaviors may be added. Unlike other types implementing Subscriber, Registry does not actually record traces itself: instead, it collects and stores span data that is exposed to any Layers wrapping it through implementations of the LookupSpan trait. The Registry is responsible for storing span metadata, recording relationships between spans, and tracking which spans are active and which are closed. In addition, it provides a mechanism for Layers to store user-defined per-span data, called extensions, in the registry. This allows Layer-specific data to benefit from the Registry’s high-performance concurrent storage.

This registry is implemented using a lock-free sharded slab, and is highly optimized for concurrent access.

Span ID Generation

Span IDs are not globally unique, but the registry ensures that no two currently active spans have the same ID within a process.

One of the primary responsibilities of the registry is to generate span IDs. Therefore, it’s important for other code that interacts with the registry, such as Layers, to understand the guarantees of the span IDs that are generated.

The registry’s span IDs are guaranteed to be unique at a given point in time. This means that an active span will never be assigned the same ID as another currently active span. However, the registry will eventually reuse the IDs of closed spans, although an ID will never be reassigned immediately after a span has closed.

Spans are not considered closed by the Registry until every Span reference with that ID has been dropped.

Thus: span IDs generated by the registry should be considered unique only at a given point in time, and only relative to other spans generated by the same process. Two spans with the same ID will not exist in the same process concurrently. However, if historical span data is being stored, the same ID may occur for multiple spans times in that data. If spans must be uniquely identified in historical data, the user code storing this data must assign its own unique identifiers to those spans. A counter is generally sufficient for this.

Similarly, span IDs generated by the registry are not unique outside of a given process. Distributed tracing systems may require identifiers that are unique across multiple processes on multiple machines (for example, OpenTelemetry’s SpanIds and TraceIds). tracing span IDs generated by the registry should not be used for this purpose. Instead, code which integrates with a distributed tracing system should generate and propagate its own IDs according to the rules specified by the distributed tracing system. These IDs can be associated with tracing spans using fields and/or stored span data.
