OpenTelemetry Python

Gitter chat

The Python OpenTelemetry client.

Installation

This repository includes multiple installable packages. The opentelemetry-api package includes abstract classes and no-op implementations that comprise the OpenTelemetry API following the specification. The opentelemetry-sdk package is the reference implementation of the API.

Libraries that produce telemetry data should only depend on opentelemetry-api, and defer the choice of the SDK to the application developer. Applications may depend on opentelemetry-sdk or another package that implements the API.

Please note that this library is currently in alpha, and shouldn't be used in production environments.

The API and SDK packages are available on PyPI, and can installed via pip:

pip install opentelemetry-api
pip install opentelemetry-sdk

The ext/ directory includes OpenTelemetry integration packages, which can be installed separately as:

pip install opentelemetry-ext-{integration}

To install the development versions of these packages instead, clone or fork this repo and do an editable install:

pip install -e ./opentelemetry-api
pip install -e ./opentelemetry-sdk
pip install -e ./ext/opentelemetry-ext-{integration}

Quick Start

from opentelemetry import trace
from opentelemetry.context import Context
from opentelemetry.sdk.trace import Tracer
from opentelemetry.sdk.trace.export import ConsoleSpanExporter
from opentelemetry.sdk.trace.export import SimpleExportSpanProcessor

trace.set_preferred_tracer_implementation(lambda T: Tracer())
tracer = trace.tracer()
tracer.add_span_processor(
    SimpleExportSpanProcessor(ConsoleSpanExporter())
)
with tracer.start_span('foo'):
    with tracer.start_span('bar'):
        with tracer.start_span('baz'):
            print(Context)

See the API documentation for more detail, and the opentelemetry-example-app for a complete example.
