This module provides automated instrumentation and tracing for Web applications.
For manual instrumentation see the @opentelemetry/tracing package.
This package exposes a class WebTracerProvider
that will be able to automatically trace things in Browser only.
See the example how to use it.
OpenTelemetry comes with a growing number of instrumentation plugins for well know modules (see supported modules) and an API to create custom plugins (see the plugin developer guide).
Web Tracer currently supports one plugin for document load.
Unlike Node Tracer (NodeTracerProvider
), the plugins needs to be initialised and passed in configuration.
The reason is to give user full control over which plugin will be bundled into web page.
You can choose to use the ZoneContextManager
if you want to trace asynchronous operations. Please note that the ZoneContextManager
does not work with JS code targeting ES2017+
. In order to use the ZoneContextManager
, please transpile back to ES2015
.
npm install --save @opentelemetry/web
import { ConsoleSpanExporter, SimpleSpanProcessor } from '@opentelemetry/tracing';
import { WebTracerProvider } from '@opentelemetry/web';
import { DocumentLoad } from '@opentelemetry/plugin-document-load';
import { ZoneContextManager } from '@opentelemetry/context-zone';
// Minimum required setup - supports only synchronous operations
const provider = new WebTracerProvider({
plugins: [
new DocumentLoad()
]
});
provider.addSpanProcessor(new SimpleSpanProcessor(new ConsoleSpanExporter()));
provider.register();
const providerWithZone = new WebTracerProvider({
plugins: [
new DocumentLoad()
]
});
providerWithZone.addSpanProcessor(new SimpleSpanProcessor(new ConsoleSpanExporter()));
// Changing default contextManager to use ZoneContextManager - supports asynchronous operations
providerWithZone.register({
contextManager: new ZoneContextManager(),
});
