Overview

Package tracing creates OpenTelemetry span exporters from environment variables.

NewSpanExporters reads OTEL_TRACES_EXPORTER and returns the corresponding exporters. Supported values:

  • "otlp": OTLP exporter (protocol selected by OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_PROTOCOL, defaults to "http/protobuf"; also supports "grpc")
  • "stdout": Pretty-printed traces on standard output
  • "file": JSON traces written to OTEL_EXPORTER_FILE_PATH (defaults to traces.json)
  • "none": Disables trace export

Multiple exporters can be enabled by separating values with commas.

Functions

func NewSpanExporters

func NewSpanExporters(ctx context.Context) ([]trace.SpanExporter, error)

NewSpanExporters returns a list of trace.SpanExporter based on the OTEL_* environment variables which are standardized. Unfortunately, they are not yet supported by opentelemetry-go by default. Once they are, we can likely remove most of this code.
