OpenTelemetry Google Cloud Trace Exporter allows the user to send collected traces to Google Cloud.
Google Cloud Trace is a distributed tracing system. It helps gather timing data needed to troubleshoot latency problems in microservice architectures. It manages both the collection and lookup of this data.
This exporter package assumes your application is already instrumented with the OpenTelemetry SDK. Once you are ready to export OpenTelemetry data, you can add this exporter to your application:
npm install --save @google-cloud/opentelemetry-cloud-trace-exporterAdd the exporter to your existing OpenTelemetry tracer provider (NodeTracerProvider / BasicTracerProvider)
const { TraceExporter } = require('@google-cloud/opentelemetry-cloud-trace-exporter');
const { NodeTracerProvider } = require('@opentelemetry/sdk-trace-node');
const { BatchSpanProcessor } = require('@opentelemetry/sdk-trace-base');
// Enable OpenTelemetry exporters to export traces to Google Cloud Trace.
// Exporters use Application Default Credentials (ADCs) to authenticate.
// See https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/application-default-credentials
// for more details.
// Use your existing provider
const provider = new NodeTracerProvider();
provider.register();
// Initialize the exporter. When your application is running on Google Cloud,
// you don't need to provide auth credentials or a project id.
const exporter = new TraceExporter();
// Add the exporter to the provider
provider.addSpanProcessor(new BatchSpanProcessor(exporter));See README.md for installation and usage information.
OpenTelemetry Google Cloud Trace Propagator allows other services to create spans with the right context.
See README.md for installation and usage information.
OpenTelemetry Google Cloud Monitoring Exporter allows the user to send collected metrics to Google Cloud Monitoring.
