tracing-layer-discord

tracing-layer-discord provides a Layer implementation for sending tracing events to Discord.

Synopsis

DiscordLayer sends POST requests via tokio and reqwest to a Discord Webhook URL for each new tracing event. The format of the embedded message is statically defined.

This layer also looks for an optional JsonStorageLayer extension on the parent span of each event. This extension may contain additional contextual information for the parent span of an event, which is included into the Discord message.

Installation

Configure the dependencies and pull directly from GitHub:

[dependencies]
tokio = "1.0"
tracing = "0.1"
tracing-layer-discord = "0.1"

Examples

See the full list of examples in examples/.

Simple

In this simple example, a layer is created using Discord configuration in the environment. An orphaned event (one with no parent span) and an event occurring within a span are created in three separate futures, and a number of messages are sent quickly to Discord.

Discord Messages

This screenshots shows the first three Discord messages sent while running this example. More messages are sent but were truncated from these images.

Discord Blocks

By default, messages are sent using Discord Blocks. Here's an example:

Code example

Run this example locally using the following commands:

$ git clone https://github.com/seanpianka/tracing-layer-discord.git
$ cd tracing-layer-discord
$ cargo run --example simple

You must have Discord configuration exported in the environment.
