package otel

import "go.opentelemetry.io/otel"

Package otel provides global access to the OpenTelemetry API. The subpackages of the otel package provide an implementation of the OpenTelemetry API.

This package is currently in a Release Candidate phase. Backwards incompatible changes may be introduced prior to v1.0.0, but we believe the current API is ready to stabilize.

The provided API is used to instrument code and measure data about that code's performance and operation. The measured data, by default, is not processed or transmitted anywhere. An implementation of the OpenTelemetry SDK, like the default SDK implementation (go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk), and associated exporters are used to process and transport this data.

Functions ¶

func GetTextMapPropagator ¶

func GetTextMapPropagator() propagation.TextMapPropagator

GetTextMapPropagator returns the global TextMapPropagator. If none has been set, a No-Op TextMapPropagator is returned.

func GetTracerProvider ¶

func GetTracerProvider() trace.TracerProvider

GetTracerProvider returns the registered global trace provider. If none is registered then an instance of NoopTracerProvider is returned.

Use the trace provider to create a named tracer. E.g.

tracer := global.GetTracerProvider().Tracer("example.com/foo")

or

tracer := global.Tracer("example.com/foo")

func Handle ¶

func Handle(err error)

Handle is a convience function for ErrorHandler().Handle(err)

func SetErrorHandler ¶

func SetErrorHandler(h ErrorHandler)

SetErrorHandler sets the global ErrorHandler to be h.

func SetTextMapPropagator ¶

func SetTextMapPropagator(propagator propagation.TextMapPropagator)

SetTextMapPropagator sets propagator as the global TextMapPropagator.

func SetTracerProvider ¶

func SetTracerProvider(tp trace.TracerProvider)

SetTracerProvider registers `tp` as the global trace provider.

func Tracer ¶

func Tracer(name string, opts ...trace.TracerOption) trace.Tracer

Tracer creates a named tracer that implements Tracer interface. If the name is an empty string then provider uses default name.

This is short for GetTracerProvider().Tracer(name, opts...)

func Version ¶

func Version() string

Version is the current release version of OpenTelemetry in use.

Types ¶

type ErrorHandler ¶

type ErrorHandler interface {

	// Handle handles any error deemed irremediable by an OpenTelemetry
	// component.
	Handle(error)
}

ErrorHandler handles irremediable events.

func GetErrorHandler ¶

func GetErrorHandler() ErrorHandler

GetErrorHandler returns the global ErrorHandler instance. If no ErrorHandler instance has been set (`SetErrorHandler`), the default ErrorHandler which logs errors to STDERR is returned.
