OpenTelemetry Amqplib (RabbitMQ) Instrumentation for Node.js
This module provides automatic instrumentation for the amqplib
(RabbitMQ) 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-amqplib
Supported Versions
amqplib
versions>=0.5.5 <1
Usage
OpenTelemetry amqplib 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 amqplib
(RabbitMQ).
To load a specific plugin, specify it in the registerInstrumentations's configuration:
const { NodeTracerProvider } = require('@opentelemetry/sdk-trace-node');
const { AmqplibInstrumentation } = require('@opentelemetry/instrumentation-amqplib');
const { registerInstrumentations } = require('@opentelemetry/instrumentation');
const provider = new NodeTracerProvider();
provider.register();
registerInstrumentations({
instrumentations: [
new AmqplibInstrumentation({
// publishHook: (span: Span, publishInfo: PublishInfo) => { },
// publishConfirmHook: (span: Span, publishConfirmedInto: PublishConfirmedInfo) => { },
// consumeHook: (span: Span, consumeInfo: ConsumeInfo) => { },
// consumeEndHook: (span: Span, consumeEndInfo: ConsumeEndInfo) => { },
// useLinksForConsume: boolean,
}),
],
})
amqplib Instrumentation Options
amqplib instrumentation has few options available to choose from. You can set the following:
| Options | Type | Description |
| -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| publishHook
| AmqplibPublishCustomAttributeFunction
| hook for adding custom attributes before publish message is sent. |
| publishConfirmHook
| AmqplibPublishConfirmCustomAttributeFunction
| hook for adding custom attributes after publish message is confirmed by the broker. |
| consumeHook
| AmqplibConsumeCustomAttributeFunction
| hook for adding custom attributes before consumer message is processed. |
| consumeEndHook
| AmqplibConsumeEndCustomAttributeFunction
| hook for adding custom attributes after consumer message is acked to server. |
| consumeTimeoutMs
| number
| read Consume Timeout below |
| useLinksForConsume
| boolean
| read Links for Consume below |
Consume Timeout
When user is setting up consume callback, it is user's responsibility to call ack/nack etc on the msg to resolve it in the server. If user is not calling the ack, the message will stay in the queue until channel is closed, or until server timeout expires (if configured).
While we wait for the ack, a reference to the message is stored in plugin, which will never be garbage collected. To prevent memory leak, plugin has it's own configuration of timeout, which will close the span if user did not call ack after this timeout.
If timeout is not big enough, span might be closed with 'InstrumentationTimeout', and then received valid ack from the user later which will not be instrumented.
Default is 1 minute
Links for Consume
By default, consume spans continue the trace where a message was produced. However, per the spec, consume spans should be linked to the message's creation context. Setting to true, this will enable the behavior to follow the spec.
Default is false
Running Tests Locally
To run the tests locally, you need to have a RabbitMQ server running. You can use the following command to start a RabbitMQ server using Docker:
npm run test:docker:run
By default, the tests that connect to RabbitMQ are skipped. To make sure these tests are run, you can set the RUN_RABBIT_TESTS
environment variable to true
