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 Node SDK

NPM Published Version Apache License

This module provides automated instrumentation and tracing for Node.js applications.

For manual instrumentation see the @opentelemetry/sdk-trace-base package.

Note: Much of OpenTelemetry JS documentation is written assuming the compiled application is run as CommonJS. For more details on ECMAScript Modules vs CommonJS, refer to esm-support.

How auto instrumentation works

This package exposes a NodeTracerProvider. For loading instrumentations please use registerInstrumentations function from opentelemetry-instrumentation

OpenTelemetry comes with a growing number of instrumentation plugins for well known modules (see supported modules) and an API to create custom instrumentation (see the instrumentation developer guide).

Please note: This module does not bundle any plugins. They need to be installed separately.

This is done by wrapping all tracing-relevant functions.

This instrumentation code will automatically

  • extract a trace-context identifier from inbound requests to allow distributed tracing (if applicable)
  • make sure that this current trace-context is propagated while the transaction traverses an application (see context document in @opentelemetry/api for an in-depth explanation)
  • add this trace-context identifier to outbound requests to allow continuing the distributed trace on the next hop (if applicable)
  • create and end spans

Creating custom spans on top of auto-instrumentation

Additionally to automated instrumentation, NodeTracerProvider exposes the same API as @opentelemetry/sdk-trace-base, allowing creating custom spans if needed.

Installation

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

# Install instrumentation plugins
npm install --save @opentelemetry/instrumentation-http
# and for example one additional
npm install --save @opentelemetry/instrumentation-graphql

Usage

The following code will configure the NodeTracerProvider to instrument http (and any other installed supported modules) using @opentelemetry/plugin-http.

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

// Create and configure NodeTracerProvider
const provider = new NodeTracerProvider();

// Initialize the provider
provider.register();

// register and load instrumentation and old plugins - old plugins will be loaded automatically as previously
// but instrumentations needs to be added
registerInstrumentations({
});

// Your application code - http will automatically be instrumented if
// @opentelemetry/plugin-http is present
const http = require('http');

Instrumentation configuration

In the following example:

  • the express instrumentation is enabled
  • the http instrumentation has a custom config for a requestHook
const { registerInstrumentations } = require('@opentelemetry/instrumentation');
const { HttpInstrumentation } = require('@opentelemetry/instrumentation-http');
const { ExpressInstrumentation } = require('@opentelemetry/instrumentation-express');

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

// register and load instrumentation and old plugins - old plugins will be loaded automatically as previously
// but instrumentations needs to be added
registerInstrumentations({
  instrumentations: [
    new ExpressInstrumentation(),
    new HttpInstrumentation({
        requestHook: (span, request) => {
          span.setAttribute("custom request hook attribute", "request");
        },
    }),
  ],
});
