Overview

tracing is a framework for instrumenting Rust programs to collect structured, event-based diagnostic information. This crate provides a subscriber 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:

Compatibility with OpenTelemetry crates

Note that version numbers for this crate are not synchronized with the various OpenTelemetry crates, despite having similar version numbers. For discussion, see issue #170.

As of 0.26, tracing-opentelemetry is one version ahead of the opentelemetry crates, such that tracing-opentelemetry 0.26.0 is compatible with opentelemetry 0.25.0, but due to semver compatibility concerns, this may not always be the case.

Visualizing traces with Jaeger

# Run a supported collector like jaeger in the background
$ docker run -d -p4317:4317 -p16686:16686 jaegertracing/all-in-one:latest

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

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

Feature Flags

  • metrics: Enables the MetricsLayer type, a layer that exports OpenTelemetry metrics from specifically-named events. This enables the metrics feature flag on the opentelemetry crate.
