Installation

$ go get 'github.com/splnkit/splunk-tracer-go'

API Documentation

Initialization: Starting a new tracer

To initialize a tracer, configure it with a valid Access Token and optional tuning parameters. Register the tracer as the OpenTracing global tracer so that it will become available to your installed instrumentation libraries.

import (
  "github.com/opentracing/opentracing-go"
  "github.com/splnkit/splunk-tracer-go"
)

func main() {
  splunkTracer := splunktracing.NewTracer(splunk.Options{
    AccessToken: "YourAccessToken",
  })

  opentracing.SetGlobalTracer(splunkTracer)
}

Instrumenting Code: Using the OpenTracing API

All instrumentation should be done through the OpenTracing API, rather than using the splunk tracer type directly. For API documentation and advice on instrumentation in general, see the opentracing godocs and the opentracing website.

Flushing and Closing: Managing the tracer lifecycle

As part of managing your application lifecycle, the Splunk tracer extends the opentracing.Tracer interface with methods for manual flushing and closing. To access these methods, you can take the global tracer and typecast it to a splunktracing.Tracer. As a convenience, the splunk package provides static methods which perform the typecasting.

import (
  "context"
  "github.com/opentracing/opentracing-go"
  "github.com/splnkit/splunk-tracer-go"
)

func shutdown(ctx context.Context) {
  // access the running tracer
  tracer := opentracing.GlobalTracer()
    
  // typecast from opentracing.Tracer to splunk.Tracer
  splTracer, ok := tracer.(splunktracing.Tracer)
  if (!ok) { 
    return 
  }
  splTracer.Close(ctx)

  // or use static methods
  splunktracing.Close(ctx, tracer)
}

This library is the Splunk binding for OpenTracing. See the OpenTracing Go API for additional detail.

Functions

func Close

func Close(ctx context.Context, tracer opentracing.Tracer)

Close synchronously flushes the tracer, then terminates it.

func CloseTracer

func CloseTracer(tracer opentracing.Tracer) error

CloseTracer closes the tracer DEPRECATED: use Close instead.

func Flush

func Flush(ctx context.Context, tracer opentracing.Tracer)

Flush forces a synchronous Flush.

func FlushSplunkTracer

func FlushSplunkTracer(tracer opentracing.Tracer) error

FlushSplunkTracer flushes the tracer DEPRECATED: use Flush instead.

func GetSplunkAccessToken

func GetSplunkAccessToken(tracer opentracing.Tracer) (string, error)

GetSplunkAccessToken returns the currently configured AccessToken.

func GetSplunkReporterID

func GetSplunkReporterID(tracer opentracing.Tracer) (uint64, error)

GetSplunkReporterID returns the currently configured Reporter ID.

func SetGlobalEventHandler

func SetGlobalEventHandler(handler EventHandler)

SetGlobalEventHandler sets a global handler to receive tracer events as they occur. Events may be emitted by the tracer, or by calls to static functions in this package. It is suggested that you set your EventHandler before starting your tracer, but it is safe to set a new handler at any time. Setting a new handler removes the previous one.

The EventHandler is called synchronously – do not block in your handler as it may interfere with the tracer. If no EventHandler handler is set, a LogOnceOnError handler is set by default.

NOTE: Event handling is for reporting purposes only. It is not intended as a mechanism for controling or restarting the tracer. Connection issues, retry logic, and other transient errors are handled internally by the tracer.

Types

type Connection

type Connection interface {
	io.Closer
}

Connection describes a closable connection. Exposed for testing.

type ConnectorFactory

type ConnectorFactory func() (interface{}, Connection, error)

ConnectorFactory is for testing purposes.

type Endpoint

type Endpoint struct {
	Scheme           string `yaml:"scheme" json:"scheme" usage:"scheme to use for the endpoint, defaults to appropriate one if no custom one is required"`
	Host             string `yaml:"host" json:"host" usage:"host on which the endpoint is running"`
	Port             int    `yaml:"port" json:"port" usage:"port on which the endpoint is listening"`
	Plaintext        bool   `yaml:"plaintext" json:"plaintext" usage:"whether or not to encrypt data send to the endpoint"`
	CustomCACertFile string `` /* 136-byte string literal not displayed */
}

Endpoint describes a collector or web API host/port and whether or not to use plaintext communication.

func (Endpoint) HostPort

func (e Endpoint) HostPort() string

HostPort use SocketAddress instead. DEPRECATED

func (Endpoint) SocketAddress

func (e Endpoint) SocketAddress() string

func (e Endpoint) URL() string

URL returns an address suitable for dialing thrift connections

type ErrorEvent

type ErrorEvent interface {
	Event
	error
	Err() error
}

The ErrorEvent type can be used to filter events. The `Err` method retuns the underlying error.

type Event

type Event interface {
	Event()
	String() string
}

An Event is emitted by the LightStep tracer as a reporting mechanism. They are handled by registering an EventHandler callback via SetGlobalEventHandler. The emitted events may be cast to specific event types in order access additional information.

NOTE: To ensure that events can be accurately identified, each event type contains a sentinel method matching the name of the type. This method is a no-op, it is only used for type coersion.

type EventConnectionError

type EventConnectionError interface {
	ErrorEvent
	EventConnectionError()
}

EventConnectionError occurs when the tracer fails to maintain it's connection with the Collector.

type EventFlushError

type EventFlushError interface {
	ErrorEvent
	EventFlushError()
	State() EventFlushErrorState
}

EventFlushError occurs when a flush fails to send. Call the `State` method to determine the type of error.

type EventFlushErrorState

type EventFlushErrorState string

EventFlushErrorState lists the possible causes for a flush to fail.

const (
	FlushErrorTracerClosed   EventFlushErrorState = "flush failed, the tracer is closed."
	FlushErrorTracerDisabled EventFlushErrorState = "flush failed, the tracer is disabled."
	FlushErrorTransport      EventFlushErrorState = "flush failed, could not send report to Collector"
	FlushErrorReport         EventFlushErrorState = "flush failed, report contained errors"
	FlushErrorTranslate      EventFlushErrorState = "flush failed, could not translate report"
)

Constant strings corresponding to flush errors

type EventHandler

type EventHandler func(Event)

An EventHandler can be registered with SetGlobalEventHandler to

func NewEventChannel

func NewEventChannel(buffer int) (EventHandler, <-chan Event)

NewEventChannel returns an SetGlobalEventHandler callback handler, and a channel that produces the errors. When the channel buffer is full, subsequent errors will be dropped. A buffer size of less than one is incorrect, and will be adjusted to a buffer size of one.

func NewEventLogOneError

func NewEventLogOneError() EventHandler

NewEventLogOneError logs the first error event that occurs.

func NewEventLogger

func NewEventLogger() EventHandler

NewEventLogger logs events using the standard go logger.

	ErrorEvent
	EventUnsupportedValue()
	Key() string
	Value() interface{}
}

EventUnsupportedValue occurs when a tracer encounters an unserializable tag or log field.

Validate checks that all required fields are set, and no options are incorrectly configured.

type RawSpan

type RawSpan struct {
	// Those recording the RawSpan should also record the contents of its
	// SpanContext.
	Context SpanContext

	// The SpanID of this SpanContext's first intra-trace reference (i.e.,
	// "parent"), or 0 if there is no parent.
	ParentSpanID uint64

	// The name of the "operation" this span is an instance of. (Called a "span
	// name" in some implementations)
	Operation string

	// We store <start, duration> rather than <start, end> so that only
	// one of the timestamps has global clock uncertainty issues.
	Start    time.Time
	Duration time.Duration

	// Essentially an extension mechanism. Can be used for many purposes,
	// not to be enumerated here.
	Tags opentracing.Tags

	// The span's "microlog".
	Logs []opentracing.LogRecord
}

RawSpan encapsulates all state associated with a (finished) Splunk Span.

type SetParentSpanID

type SetParentSpanID uint64

SetParentSpanID is an opentracing.StartSpanOption that sets an explicit parent SpanID. It must be used in conjunction with SetTraceID or the result is undefined. If the value is zero, it will be disregarded. If a ChildOf or FollowsFrom span relation is also set in the start options, it will override this value.

func (SetParentSpanID) Apply

func (sid SetParentSpanID) Apply(sso *opentracing.StartSpanOptions)

Apply satisfies the StartSpanOption interface.

type SetSpanID

type SetSpanID uint64

SetSpanID is a opentracing.StartSpanOption that sets an explicit SpanID. It must be used in conjunction with SetTraceID or the result is undefined.

Apply satisfies the StartSpanOption interface.

type SetTraceID

type SetTraceID uint64

SetTraceID is an opentracing.StartSpanOption that sets an explicit TraceID. It must be used in order to set an explicit SpanID or ParentSpanID. If a ChildOf or FollowsFrom span relation is also set in the start options, it will override this value.

func (sid SetTraceID) Apply(sso *opentracing.StartSpanOptions)

Apply satisfies the StartSpanOption interface.

type SpanContext

type SpanContext struct {
	// A probabilistically unique identifier for a [multi-span] trace.

func (c SpanContext) ForeachBaggageItem(handler func(k, v string) bool)

ForeachBaggageItem belongs to the opentracing.SpanContext interface

func (SpanContext) WithBaggageItem

func (c SpanContext) WithBaggageItem(key, val string) SpanContext

WithBaggageItem returns an entirely new basictracer SpanContext with the given key:value baggage pair set.

type SpanRecorder

type SpanRecorder interface {
	RecordSpan(RawSpan)
}

A SpanRecorder handles all of the `RawSpan` data generated via an associated `Tracer` instance.

type Tracer

type Tracer interface {
	opentracing.Tracer

	// Close flushes and then terminates the Splunk collector
	Close(context.Context)
	// Flush sends all spans currently in the buffer to the LighStep collector
	Flush(context.Context)
	// Options gets the Options used in New() or NewWithOptions().
	Options() Options
	// Disable prevents the tracer from recording spans or flushing
	Disable()
}

Tracer extends the `opentracing.Tracer` interface with methods for manual flushing and closing. To access these methods, you can take the global tracer and typecast it to a `splunktracing.Tracer`. As a convenience, the splunktracing package provides static functions which perform the typecasting.

func NewTracer

func NewTracer(opts Options) Tracer

NewTracer creates and starts a new Splunk Tracer.

type Tracerv0_14

type Tracerv0_14 interface {
	opentracing.Tracer

	Flush() error
	// Options gets the Options used in New().
	Options() Options
	// Disable prevents the tracer from recording spans or flushing.
	Disable()
}

Tracerv0_14 matches the Tracer interface from v0.14.0 DEPRECATED

func NewTracerv0_14

func NewTracerv0_14(opts Options) Tracerv0_14
