Sumo Logic OpenTelemetry RUM
The Sumo Logic OpenTelemetry auto-instrumentation for JavaScript library enables tracing in the browser.
Features
- XMLHttpRequest and Fetch APIs auto-instrumentation
- user interactions like click, submit, drop etc.
- document load with fetched resources
- History API and hash change support
- web-vitals
- session id
- longtasks with automatic context attaching
- uncaught exceptions, unhandled rejections, document errors and console errors
- support for manual instrumentation
- automatic context carrying through timers, promises, native async-await, events, observers and more
- 98 KB (29 KB gzipped)
Installation
The easiest way to start collecting traces from your website is to put the code below inside the <head></head>
tags on
your website:
<script
src="https://rum.sumologic.com/sumologic-rum.js"
type="text/javascript"
></script>
<script>
window.sumoLogicOpenTelemetryRum &&
window.sumoLogicOpenTelemetryRum.initialize({
collectionSourceUrl: 'sumo_logic_traces_collector_source_url',
serviceName: 'name_of_your_web_service',
propagateTraceHeaderCorsUrls: [
'list_of_domains_to_receive_trace_context',
],
collectErrors: true,
});
</script>
See configuration for all supported options.
There are no other required actions needed to take. With properly provided collectionSourceUrl
and serviceName
your
website is ready and will send collected traces to the specified Sumo Logic collector.
You can load the script asynchronously using the script below, but some functionalities like user interactions or requests made before script run will be limited.
<script>
(function (w, s, d, r, e, n) {
(w[s] = w[s] || {
readyListeners: [],
onReady: function (e) {
w[s].readyListeners.push(e);
},
}),
((e = d.createElement('script')).async = 1),
(e.src = r),
(n = d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]).parentNode.insertBefore(e, n);
})(
window,
'sumoLogicOpenTelemetryRum',
document,
'https://rum.sumologic.com/sumologic-rum.js',
);
window.sumoLogicOpenTelemetryRum.onReady(function () {
window.sumoLogicOpenTelemetryRum.initialize({
collectionSourceUrl: 'sumo_logic_traces_collector_source_url',
serviceName: 'name_of_your_web_service',
propagateTraceHeaderCorsUrls: [
'list_of_domains_to_receive_trace_context',
],
collectErrors: true,
});
});
</script>
Note: XHR and navigation/route changes support as well as errors collection requires RUM script in version 4 or higher (https://rum.sumologic.com/sumologic-rum-v4.js). Please ensure you are using the correct version in your pages. For automatic updates use https://rum.sumologic.com/sumologic-rum.js.
Note: Above examples omit the version of the script in the src
attribute and automatically uses most up to date
version of it. If you want to manually control versioning of the script please use:
- https://rum.sumologic.com/sumologic-rum-vX.js (e.g. https://rum.sumologic.com/sumologic-rum-v4.js) for major version control (no breaking changes),
- https://rum.sumologic.com/sumologic-rum-vX.Y.js (e.g. https://rum.sumologic.com/sumologic-rum-v4.0.js) for major version control (only bugfixes are automatically included),
- https://rum.sumologic.com/sumologic-rum-vX.Y.Z.js (e.g. https://rum.sumologic.com/sumologic-rum-v4.0.0.js) for major version control (strict version control).
Manual installation
The other option is to bundle this library inside your project and initialize it.
Inside your project directory execute npm install @sumologic/opentelemetry-rum
.
RUM needs to be initialized preferably before other functionalities in your code:
import { initialize } from '@sumologic/opentelemetry-rum';
initialize({
collectionSourceUrl: 'sumo_logic_traces_collector_source_url',
serviceName: 'name_of_your_web_service',
propagateTraceHeaderCorsUrls: ['list_of_domains_to_receive_trace_context'],
});
Configuration
Both script
tag and manual installation can be configured with following parameters:
| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
| ------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| collectionSourceUrl | string
| required | Sumo Logic collector source url |

| | Sumo Logic collector authorization token |
| serviceName | string
| "unknown"
| Name of your web service |
| applicationName | string
| | Name of your application |
| deploymentEnvironment | string
| | The software deployment (e.g. staging
, production
) |
| defaultAttributes | object
| {}
| Attributes added to each span |
| samplingProbability | number

| Maximum number of spans waiting to be send |
| maxExportBatchSize | number

| collectSessionId | boolean
| true
| Enables collecting rum.session_id
attribute |
| dropSingleUserInteractionTraces | boolean
| true
| Automatically drops traces with only one span coming from the user-interaction instrumentation (click etc.) |
| collectErrors | boolean
| true
| Automatically collect and send uncaught exceptions, unhandled rejections, document errors and console errors |
| userInteractionElementNameLimit | number
| 20

Trace context propagation
By default, trace context propagation, allowing creation of end to and front end to backend traces for cross-origin
requests is not enabled because of browser CORS security restrictions. To propagate tracing context to create front-end
to back-end traces, set exact URLs or URL patterns in the propagateTraceHeaderCorsUrls
configuration option. You must
configure your server to return accept and return following CORS headers in its response:
Access-Control-Allow-Headers: traceparent, tracestate
. Read W3C Trace Context
for more details. Sumo Logic cannot perform any validation correct configuration of services of other origins, so,
please be careful when configuring this. You should always try enabling CORS in a test environment before setting it up
in production.
For example:
// propagates trace context in requests made to https://api.sumologic.com or http://localhost:3000/api URLs
propagateTraceHeaderCorsUrls: [
/^https:\/\/api\.sumologic.com\/.*/,
/^http:\/\/localhost:3000\/api\/.*/,
],
Manual instrumentation
When initialized by the <script />
tag, window attribute sumoLogicOpenTelemetryRum
is exposed. It gives possibility
to create spans manually. Global sumoLogicOpenTelemetryRum
objects contains:
api
- exposed @opentelemetry/api moduletracer
- an instance of aTracer
from @opentelemetry/tracingrecordError
- a function to create an error with the given message and optional attributes.
Example:
const { tracer, api, recordError } = sumoLogicOpenTelemetryRum;
const span = tracer.startSpan('fetchUserData', {
attributes: { organization: 'client-a' },
});
api.context.with(api.trace.setSpan(api.context.active(), span), () => {
// long running operation
});
recordError('Cannot load data', { organization: 'test' });
Using in production, make sure your website works when sumoLogicOpenTelemetryRum
is not defined (e.g. blocked by a
browser extension).
Disable instrumentation
Instrumentation can be disabled and enabled again in runtime using registerInstrumentations()
and disableInstrumentations()
methods.
sumoLogicOpenTelemetryRum.disableInstrumentations();
// some code with instrumentations disabled
sumoLogicOpenTelemetryRum.registerInstrumentations();
Public API
All method are available under the window.sumoLogicOpenTelemetryRum
object.
setDefaultAttribute(key, value)
Extends the list of default attributes specified during initialization.
Example: window.sumoLogicOpenTelemetryRum.setDefaultAttribute('user_id', userId)
getCurrentSessionId()
Returns current value of the rum.session_id
attribute. Returned value may change in time, so don't cache it.
Example: window.sumoLogicOpenTelemetryRum.getCurrentSessionId()
recordError()
Sends an error with the given message and optional attributes.
Example: window.sumoLogicOpenTelemetryRum.recordError('Cannot load data', { organization: 'test' })
