Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

OpenTelemetry Tracing SDK

NPM Published Version Apache License

The tracing module contains the foundation for all tracing SDKs of opentelemetry-js.

Used standalone, this module provides methods for manual instrumentation of code, offering full control over span creation for client-side JavaScript (browser) and Node.js.

It does not provide automated instrumentation of known libraries, context propagation for asynchronous invocations or distributed-context out-of-the-box.

For automated instrumentation for Node.js, please see @opentelemetry/sdk-trace-node.

Installation

npm install --save @opentelemetry/api
npm install --save @opentelemetry/sdk-trace-base

Usage

const opentelemetry = require('@opentelemetry/api');
const { BasicTracerProvider } = require('@opentelemetry/sdk-trace-base');

// To start a trace, you first need to initialize the Tracer provider.
// NOTE: The default OpenTelemetry tracer provider does not record any tracing information.
//       Registering a working tracer provider allows the API methods to record traces.
new BasicTracerProvider().register();

// To create a span in a trace, we used the global singleton tracer to start a new span.
const span = opentelemetry.trace.getTracer('default').startSpan('foo');

// Set a span attribute
span.setAttribute('key', 'value');

// We must end the spans so they become available for exporting.
span.end();

Config

Tracing configuration is a merge of user supplied configuration with both the default configuration as specified in config.ts and an environmentally configurable sampling (via OTEL_TRACES_SAMPLER and OTEL_TRACES_SAMPLER_ARG).

Built-in Samplers

Sampler is used to make decisions on Span sampling.

AlwaysOn Sampler

Samples every trace regardless of upstream sampling decisions.

This is used as a default Sampler

const {
  AlwaysOnSampler,
  BasicTracerProvider,
} = require("@opentelemetry/sdk-trace-base");

const tracerProvider = new BasicTracerProvider({
  sampler: new AlwaysOnSampler()
});

AlwaysOff Sampler

Doesn't sample any trace, regardless of upstream sampling decisions.

const {
  AlwaysOffSampler,
  BasicTracerProvider,
} = require("@opentelemetry/sdk-trace-base");

const tracerProvider = new BasicTracerProvider({
  sampler: new AlwaysOffSampler()
});

TraceIdRatioBased Sampler

Samples some percentage of traces, calculated deterministically using the trace ID. Any trace that would be sampled at a given percentage will also be sampled at any higher percentage.

The TraceIDRatioSampler may be used with the ParentBasedSampler to respect the sampled flag of an incoming trace.

const {
  BasicTracerProvider,
  TraceIdRatioBasedSampler,
} = require("@opentelemetry/sdk-trace-base");

const tracerProvider = new BasicTracerProvider({
  // See details of ParentBasedSampler below
  sampler: new ParentBasedSampler({
    // Trace ID Ratio Sampler accepts a positional argument
    // which represents the percentage of traces which should
    // be sampled.
    root: new TraceIdRatioBasedSampler(0.5)
  });
});

ParentBased Sampler

  • This is a composite sampler. ParentBased helps distinguished between the following cases:
    • No parent (root span).
    • Remote parent with sampled flag true
    • Remote parent with sampled flag false
    • Local parent with sampled flag true
    • Local parent with sampled flag false

Required parameters:

  • root(Sampler) - Sampler called for spans with no parent (root spans)

Optional parameters:

  • remoteParentSampled(Sampler) (default: AlwaysOn)
  • remoteParentNotSampled(Sampler) (default: AlwaysOff)
  • localParentSampled(Sampler) (default: AlwaysOn)
  • localParentNotSampled(Sampler) (default: AlwaysOff)

|Parent| parent.isRemote() | parent.isSampled()| Invoke sampler| |--|--|--|--| |absent| n/a | n/a |root()| |present|true|true|remoteParentSampled()| |present|true|false|remoteParentNotSampled()| |present|false|true|localParentSampled()| |present|false|false|localParentNotSampled()|

const {
  AlwaysOffSampler,
  BasicTracerProvider,
  ParentBasedSampler,
  TraceIdRatioBasedSampler,
} = require("@opentelemetry/sdk-trace-base");

const tracerProvider = new BasicTracerProvider({
  sampler: new ParentBasedSampler({
    // By default, the ParentBasedSampler will respect the parent span's sampling
    // decision. This is configurable by providing a different sampler to use
    // based on the situation. See configuration details above.
    //
    // This will delegate the sampling decision of all root traces (no parent)
    // to the TraceIdRatioBasedSampler.
    // See details of TraceIdRatioBasedSampler above.
    root: new TraceIdRatioBasedSampler(0.5)
  })
});
