Cargo features

For ease of use you can use the following feature sets:

• live enables the feature you will most likely want in a production/staging environment

• dev enables the features you will most likely want in a dev environment

• json-logger outputs traces to standard output in JSON format

• datadog extends json-logger output with trace and span information allowing Datadog to connect logs and traces

• traces exports tracing spans and events using the opentelemetry-otlp exporter

• rt-tokio-current-thread configures the OpenTelemetry tracer to use Tokio’s current thread runtime (e.g. actix_web::main). Without this feature, the Tokio multi-thread runtime is used by default.

How to collect traces locally

If you are using the tracing feature in your project, the recommended way to view exported traces on your machine is to use the Jaeger all-in-one Docker image.

You need to add the following service to your Docker Compose setup (your main container should depend on it):

  jaeger:
    image: jaegertracing/all-in-one:1.35
    ports:
      - 16686:16686
      - 55681:55681
    environment:
      COLLECTOR_OTLP_ENABLED: true
      COLLECTOR_OTLP_HTTP_HOST_PORT: 55681

You can then visit the Jaeger web UI on your browser to search the traces.

Usage examples

Simple

use prima_tracing::{builder, configure_subscriber, init_subscriber, Environment};
use tracing::{info, info_span};

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let subscriber = configure_subscriber(
      builder("simple")
        .with_country(Country::Common)
        .with_env(Environment::Dev)
        .build()
    );

    let _guard = init_subscriber(subscriber);

    let span = info_span!("MySpan");
    let _guard = span.enter();

    info!("Starting my awesome app");
    Ok(())
}

JSON output

It works like the simple example, but activating the json-logger automatically uses the JSON format as output

use prima_tracing::{builder, configure_subscriber, init_subscriber, Environment};
use tracing::{info, info_span};

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let subscriber = configure_subscriber(
      builder("json")
        .with_country(Country::Common)
        .with_env(Environment::Dev)
        .build()
    );

    let _guard = init_subscriber(subscriber);

    let span = info_span!("MySpan");
    let _guard = span.enter();

    info!("Starting my awesome app");
    Ok(())
}

OpenTelemetry

You need to have an OpenTelemetry collector (such as Jaeger) running locally.

use prima_tracing::{builder, configure_subscriber, init_subscriber, Environment};
use tracing::{info, info_span};

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let subscriber = configure_subscriber(
        builder("myapp")
            .with_country(Country::Common)
            .with_env(Environment::Dev)
            .with_version("1.0".to_string())
            .with_telemetry(
                "http://localhost:55681".to_string(),
                "myapp".to_string(),
            )
            .build(),
    );

    let _guard = init_subscriber(subscriber);

    let span = info_span!("MySpan");
    let _guard = span.enter();

    info!("Starting my awesome app");
    Ok(())
}

Custom Subscriber

use prima_tracing::json;
use tracing::{info, info_span};
use tracing_log::LogTracer;
use tracing_subscriber::{layer::SubscriberExt, EnvFilter};

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let subscriber = tracing_subscriber::Registry::default()
        .with(EnvFilter::from_default_env())
        .with(json::storage::layer())
        .with(json::formatter::layer("test".to_owned(), "dev".to_owned()));

    LogTracer::init().expect("Failed to set logger");
    tracing::subscriber::set_global_default(subscriber).expect("Setting default subscriber failed");

    let span = info_span!("MySpan");
    let _guard = span.enter();

    info!("Starting my awesome app");
    Ok(())
}

Running examples

Simple

RUST_LOG=info cargo run --example simple

Complex (OpenTelemetry)

Run Jaeger locally

docker run --rm -d -p 16686:16686 -p 55681:55681 -e COLLECTOR_OTLP_ENABLED=true -e COLLECTOR_OTLP_HTTP_HOST_PORT=55681 jaegertracing/all-in-one:1.35

Run pong service:

RUST_LOG=info cargo run --features=traces --example pong

Run ping service:

RUST_LOG=info cargo run --features=traces --example ping

Check health of ping service (which calls pong service)

curl http://localhost:8081/check

Open the browser at http://localhost:16686 to inspect the traced request
