@opentelemetry/instrumentation-mysql

OpenTelemetry MySQL Instrumentation for Node.js

This module provides automatic instrumentation for the mysql module, which may be loaded using the @opentelemetry/sdk-trace-node package and is included in the @opentelemetry/auto-instrumentations-node bundle.

If total installation size is not constrained, it is recommended to use the @opentelemetry/auto-instrumentations-node bundle with @opentelemetry/sdk-node for the most seamless instrumentation experience.

Compatible with OpenTelemetry JS API and SDK 1.0+.

Installation

npm install --save @opentelemetry/instrumentation-mysql

Supported Versions

• mysql versions >=2.0.0 <3

Usage

OpenTelemetry MySQL Instrumentation allows the user to automatically collect trace data and export them to the backend of choice, to give observability to distributed systems when working with mysql.

To load a specific plugin (MySQL in this case), specify it in the registerInstrumentations's configuration

const { NodeTracerProvider } = require('@opentelemetry/sdk-trace-node');
const { MySQLInstrumentation } = require('@opentelemetry/instrumentation-mysql');
const { registerInstrumentations } = require('@opentelemetry/instrumentation');

const provider = new NodeTracerProvider();
provider.register();

registerInstrumentations({
  instrumentations: [
    new MySQLInstrumentation(),
  ],
})

See examples/mysql for a short example.
