Initializing Tracing

You will need to require the core OpenTelemetry SDK and exporter Ruby gems, as well as any gem that will be needed for auto-instrumentation libraries (ie: Sinatra)

1
2
3
require "opentelemetry/sdk"
require "opentelemetry/exporter/otlp"
require "opentelemetry/instrumentation/sinatra"

The Ruby SDK uses OpenTelemetry standard environment variables to configure OTLP export, resource attributes, and service name automatically. When initializing the OpenTelemetry SDK, you will also specify which auto-instrumentation libraries to leverage (ie: Sinatra)

1

3
OpenTelemetry::SDK.configure do |c|
  c.use "OpenTelemetry::Instrumentation::Sinatra"
end

Traces

Add attributes to auto-instrumented spans

Within the execution of auto-instrumented code you can get current span from context.

1
  current_span = OpenTelemetry::Trace.current_span

Adding multiple attributes to a span is accomplished using add_attributes on the span object.

1
2
3
  current_span.add_attributes({
    "app.order.id" => data.order.order_id,
  })

Adding only a single attribute can be accomplished using set_attribute on the span object.

1
    span.set_attribute("app.email.recipient", data.email)

Create new spans

New spans can be created and placed into active context using in_span from an OpenTelemetry Tracer object. When used in conjunction with a do..end block, the span will automatically be ended when the block ends execution.

  tracer = OpenTelemetry.tracer_provider.tracer('emailservice')
  tracer.in_span("send_email") do |span|
    # logic in context of span here
  end
