Opentelemetry SDK的简单用法

概述

Opentelemetry trace的简单架构图如下,客户端和服务端都需要启动一个traceProvider,主要用于将trace数据传输到registry(如jaeger、opencensus等)。client和server通过context将整个链路串起来。

traceProvider会周期性的将数据推送到Registry,默认是5s:

func NewBatchSpanProcessor(exporter SpanExporter, options ...BatchSpanProcessorOption) SpanProcessor {
   ...
   o := BatchSpanProcessorOptions{
      BatchTimeout:       time.Duration(env.BatchSpanProcessorScheduleDelay(DefaultScheduleDelay)) * time.Millisecond,
      ExportTimeout:      time.Duration(env.BatchSpanProcessorExportTimeout(DefaultExportTimeout)) * time.Millisecond,
      MaxQueueSize:       maxQueueSize,
      MaxExportBatchSize: maxExportBatchSize,
   }
   ...
}

下面是官方提供的SDK,它实现了opentelemetry的API,也是操作opentelemetry所使用的基本库:

	tracesdk "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace"

要使用trace,首先要创建一个TracerProvider,定义exporter以及相关属性。

参数表示应用名称或代码库名称

var tracer = otel.Tracer("app_or_package_name")

创建TracerProvider

下面展示了使用Jaeger作为exporter的tracerProvider,其中包含两个概念:exporter和resource。前者为发送遥测数据的目的地,如jaeger、zepkin、opencensus等;后者通常用于添加非临时的底层元数据信息,如主机名,实例ID等。

// tracerProvider returns an OpenTelemetry TracerProvider configured to use
// the Jaeger exporter that will send spans to the provided url. The returned
// TracerProvider will also use a Resource configured with all the information
// about the application.
func tracerProvider(url string) (*tracesdk.TracerProvider, error) {
	// Create the Jaeger exporter
	exp, err := jaeger.New(jaeger.WithCollectorEndpoint(jaeger.WithEndpoint(url)))
	if err != nil {
		return nil, err
	}
	tp := tracesdk.NewTracerProvider(
		// Always be sure to batch in production.
		tracesdk.WithBatcher(exp),
		// Record information about this application in a Resource.
		tracesdk.WithResource(resource.NewWithAttributes(
			semconv.SchemaURL,
			semconv.ServiceNameKey.String(service),
			attribute.String("environment", environment),
			attribute.Int64("ID", id),
		)),
	)
	return tp, nil
}
semconv
// newResource returns a resource describing this application.
func newResource() *resource.Resource {
	r, _ := resource.Merge(
		resource.Default(),
		resource.NewWithAttributes(
			semconv.SchemaURL,
			semconv.ServiceNameKey.String("fib"),
			semconv.ServiceVersionKey.String("v0.1.0"),
			attribute.String("environment", "demo"),
		),
	)
	return r
}
注册tracerProvider

如果使用自定义的tracerProvider,需要将其注册为全局tracerProvider:

	tp, err := tracerProvider("http://localhost:14268/api/traces")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	// Register our TracerProvider as the global so any imported
	// instrumentation in the future will default to using it.
	otel.SetTracerProvider(tp)

启动tracerProvider

	tr := tp.Tracer("component-main")

	ctx, span := tr.Start(ctx, "foo")
	defer span.End()

关闭tracerProvider

当程序退出前,需要关闭tracerProvider,执行数据清理工作:

	ctx, cancel := context.WithCancel(context.Background())
	defer cancel()

    // Cleanly shutdown and flush telemetry when the application exits.
	defer func(ctx context.Context) {
		// Do not make the application hang when it is shutdown.
		ctx, cancel = context.WithTimeout(ctx, time.Second*5)
		defer cancel()
		if err := tp.Shutdown(ctx); err != nil {
			log.Fatal(err)
		}
	}(ctx)

span的简单用法

context.Contextcontextcontext

下面为从请求中获取span:

func httpHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
	ctx, span := tracer.Start(r.Context(), "hello-span")
	defer span.End()

	// do some work to track with hello-span
}
span.End()
获取当前span
// This context needs contain the active span you plan to extract.
ctx := context.TODO()
span := trace.SpanFromContext(ctx)

// Do something with the current span, optionally calling `span.End()` if you want it to en
创建嵌套的span
childSpanparentSpan
func parentFunction(ctx context.Context) {
	ctx, parentSpan := tracer.Start(ctx, "parent")
	defer parentSpan.End()

	// call the child function and start a nested span in there
	childFunction(ctx)

	// do more work - when this function ends, parentSpan will complete.
}

func childFunction(ctx context.Context) {
	// Create a span to track `childFunction()` - this is a nested span whose parent is `parentSpan`
	ctx, childSpan := tracer.Start(ctx, "child")
	defer childSpan.End()

	// do work here, when this function returns, childSpan will complete.
}
设置span相关的信息
添加属性

属性是一组key/value元数据,用于聚合、过滤以及对traces进行分组。

// setting attributes at creation...
ctx, span = tracer.Start(ctx, "attributesAtCreation", trace.WithAttributes(attribute.String("hello", "world")))
// ... and after creation
span.SetAttributes(attribute.Bool("isTrue", true), attribute.String("stringAttr", "hi!"))

可以使用如下方式预设置属性,然后再添加到span中:

var myKey = attribute.Key("myCoolAttribute")
span.SetAttributes(myKey.String("a value"))

注:trace的属性并不是随便定义的,它有一些特定的约束,参见官方约定以及uptrace总结的约束

添加事件

事件为可读的消息,表示在span的生命周期中"发生了某些事情"。例如,假设某个函数需要获取锁来访问互斥的资源时,可以在两个节点创建事件,一个是尝试访问资源时,另一个是获取到锁时。如:

span.AddEvent("Acquiring lock")
mutex.Lock()
span.AddEvent("Got lock, doing work...")
// do stuff
span.AddEvent("Unlocking")
mutex.Unlock()

事件的一个有用的特点是,它们的时间戳显示为从span开始的偏移量(即事件发生的真实时间)。

事件也可以配置属性:

span.AddEvent("Cancelled wait due to external signal", trace.WithAttributes(attribute.Int("pid", 4328), attribute.String("signal", "SIGHUP")))
设置span状态
UnsetOk
result, err := operationThatCouldFail()
if err != nil {
	span.SetStatus(codes.Error, "operationThatCouldFail failed")
}
记录错误
RecordErrorSetStatusError
result, err := operationThatCouldFail()
if err != nil {
	span.SetStatus(codes.Error, "operationThatCouldFail failed")
	span.RecordError(err)
}

完整代码

bar
func tracerProvider(url string) (*tracesdk.TracerProvider, error) {
	// Create the Jaeger exporter
	exp, err := jaeger.New(jaeger.WithCollectorEndpoint(jaeger.WithEndpoint(url)))
	if err != nil {
		return nil, err
	}
	tp := tracesdk.NewTracerProvider(
		// Always be sure to batch in production.
		tracesdk.WithBatcher(exp),
		// Record information about this application in a Resource.
		tracesdk.WithResource(resource.NewWithAttributes(
			semconv.SchemaURL,
			semconv.ServiceNameKey.String(service),
			attribute.String("environment", environment),
			attribute.Int64("ID", id),
		)),
	)
	return tp, nil
}

func main() {
	tp, err := tracerProvider("http://localhost:14268/api/traces")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	// Register our TracerProvider as the global so any imported
	// instrumentation in the future will default to using it.
	otel.SetTracerProvider(tp)

	ctx, cancel := context.WithCancel(context.Background())
	defer cancel()

	// Cleanly shutdown and flush telemetry when the application exits.
	defer func(ctx context.Context) {
		// Do not make the application hang when it is shutdown.
		ctx, cancel = context.WithTimeout(ctx, time.Second*5)
		defer cancel()
		if err := tp.Shutdown(ctx); err != nil {
			log.Fatal(err)
		}
	}(ctx)

	tr := tp.Tracer("component-main")

	ctx, span := tr.Start(ctx, "foo")
	defer span.End()

	bar(ctx)
}

func bar(ctx context.Context) {
	// Use the global TracerProvider.
	tr := otel.Tracer("component-bar")
	_, span := tr.Start(ctx, "bar")
	span.SetAttributes(attribute.Key("testset").String("value"))
	defer span.End()

	// Do bar...
}

Trace context的跨服务传播

为了跨服务传播Trace context需要注册一个propagator ,通常在创建注册TracerProvider之后执行。

span的事件和属性并不会跨服务传播

func initTracer() (*sdktrace.TracerProvider, error) {
	// Create stdout exporter to be able to retrieve
	// the collected spans.
	exporter, err := stdout.New(stdout.WithPrettyPrint())
	if err != nil {
		return nil, err
	}

	// For the demonstration, use sdktrace.AlwaysSample sampler to sample all traces.
	// In a production application, use sdktrace.ProbabilitySampler with a desired probability.
	tp := sdktrace.NewTracerProvider(
		sdktrace.WithSampler(sdktrace.AlwaysSample()),
		sdktrace.WithBatcher(exporter),
	)
	otel.SetTracerProvider(tp)
	otel.SetTextMapPropagator(propagation.NewCompositeTextMapPropagator(propagation.TraceContext{}, propagation.Baggage{}))
	return tp, err
}

如上注册了两种propagator :TraceContext和Baggage,因此可以使用这两种数据结构传播上下文。

TraceContext

gorilla/mux trace.SpanFromContext(r.Context())tracer.Start(c.Context(), "getUser", oteltrace.WithAttributes(attribute.String("id", id)))
func TestPropagationWithCustomPropagators(t *testing.T) {
	prop := propagation.TraceContext{}

	r := httptest.NewRequest("GET", "/user/123", nil)
	w := httptest.NewRecorder()

	ctx := trace.ContextWithRemoteSpanContext(context.Background(), sc)
	prop.Inject(ctx, propagation.HeaderCarrier(r.Header))

	var called bool
	router := mux.NewRouter()
	router.Use(Middleware("foobar", WithPropagators(prop)))
	router.HandleFunc("/user/{id}", http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
		called = true
		span := trace.SpanFromContext(r.Context())
        defer span.End()
		assert.Equal(t, sc, span.SpanContext())
		w.WriteHeader(http.StatusOK)
	}))

	router.ServeHTTP(w, r)
	assert.True(t, called, "failed to run test")
}

baggage

	flag.Parse()

	client := http.Client{Transport: otelhttp.NewTransport(http.DefaultTransport)}

	}(ctx)

	if err != nil {

	}

	fmt.Printf("Response Received: %s\n\n\n", body)
	fmt.Printf("Waiting for few seconds to export spans ...\n\n")
	time.Sleep(10 * time.Second)

服务端代码:

package main

		return nil, err
	}

	// For the demonstration, use sdktrace.AlwaysSample sampler to sample all traces.
	// In a production application, use sdktrace.ProbabilitySampler with a desired probability.
	tp := sdktrace.NewTracerProvider(
		sdktrace.WithSampler(sdktrace.AlwaysSample()),
		sdktrace.WithBatcher(exporter),
		sdktrace.WithResource(resource.NewWithAttributes(semconv.SchemaURL, semconv.ServiceNameKey.String("ExampleService"))),
	)
	otel.SetTracerProvider(tp)
	otel.SetTextMapPropagator(propagation.NewCompositeTextMapPropagator(propagation.TraceContext{}, propagation.Baggage{}))
	return tp, err
}

func main() {
	tp, err := initTracer()
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	defer func() {
		if err := tp.Shutdown(context.Background()); err != nil {
			log.Printf("Error shutting down tracer provider: %v", err)
		}
	}()

	uk := attribute.Key("username")

	helloHandler := func(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
		ctx := req.Context()
		span := trace.SpanFromContext(ctx) // span为Hello
        defer span.End()
		bag := baggage.FromContext(ctx)
		span.AddEvent("handling this...", trace.WithAttributes(uk.String(bag.Member("username").Value())))

		_, _ = io.WriteString(w, "Hello, world!\n")
	}

    // otelhttp.NewHandler会在处理请求的同时创建一个名为Hello的span
	otelHandler := otelhttp.NewHandler(http.HandlerFunc(helloHandler), "Hello")

	http.Handle("/hello", otelHandler)
	err = http.ListenAndServe(":7777", nil)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
}
HTTP GETHelloHellootelhttp

使用如下代码则可以启动两个独立的span,可以表示两个并行的任务:

	helloHandler := func(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
		ctx := req.Context()
		ctx, span1 := tracer.Start(ctx, "span1 proecss", trace.WithLinks())
		defer span1.End()
		bag := baggage.FromContext(req.Context())
		span1.SetAttributes(attribute.String("span1", "test1"))
		span1.AddEvent("span1 handling this...", trace.WithAttributes(uk.String(bag.Member("username").Value())))

		ctx, span2 := tracer.Start(req.Context(), "span2 proecss", trace.WithLinks())
		defer span2.End()
		span2.SetAttributes(attribute.String("span2", "test2"))
		span2.AddEvent("span2 handling this...", trace.WithAttributes(uk.String(bag.Member("username").Value())))

		_, _ = io.WriteString(w, "Hello, world!\n")
	}
baggage.NewKeyValueProperty("key", "value")
	otelHandler := otelhttp.NewHandler(http.HandlerFunc(helloHandler), "Hello")

注:baggage要遵循W3C Baggage 规范。

支持otel的工具

官方给出了很多Registry,如Gorilla Mux、GORM、Gin-gonic 、gRPC等。更多可以参见官方代码库。
