OpenTelemetry Postgres Instrumentation for Node.js

This module provides automatic instrumentation for the pgmodule, 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-pg

Supported Versions

• pg versions >=8.0.3 <9
• pg-pool versions >=2.0.0 <4

Usage

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

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

registerInstrumentations({
  instrumentations: [
    new PgInstrumentation(),
  ],
});

PgInstrumentation contains both pg and pg.Pool so it will be instrumented automatically.

PostgreSQL Instrumentation Options

PostgreSQL instrumentation has few options available to choose from. You can set the following:

| Options | Type | Description | | ------- | ---- | ----------- | | enhancedDatabaseReporting | boolean | If true, additional information about query parameters and results will be attached (as attributes) to spans representing database operations | | requestHook | PgInstrumentationExecutionRequestHook (function) | Function for adding custom span attributes using information about the query being issued and the db to which it's directed | | responseHook | PgInstrumentationExecutionResponseHook (function) | Function for adding custom span attributes from db response | | requireParentSpan | boolean | If true, requires a parent span to create new spans (default false) | | addSqlCommenterCommentToQueries | boolean | If true, adds sqlcommenter specification compliant comment to queries with tracing context (default false). NOTE: A comment will not be added to queries that already contain -- or /* ... */ in them, even if these are not actually part of comments |
