Automatically Instrumenting an Application

For automatic insturmentation see the @opencensus/nodejs package.

Manually Instrumenting an Application

With @opencensus/nodejs-base you have a full control over instrumentation and span creation. The base package doesn't load Continuation Local Storage (CLS) or any instrumentation plugin by default.

const rootSpanOptions = { name: 'your root span' };
tracing.tracer.startRootSpan(rootSpanOptions, (rootSpan) => {

    // You can create as many child spans as needed
    childSpan = tracing.tracer.startChildSpan({
        name: 'name of your child span'
    });
    // Do some operation...
    // Finish the child span at the end of it's operation
    childSpan.end();

    // Finish the root span at the end of the operation
    rootSpan.end();
});

Tracing Options

See the @opencensus/nodejs package for the full API documentation.
