@opentelemetry/instrumentation-mongoose

OpenTelemetry mongoose Instrumentation for Node.js

This module provides automatic instrumentation for the mongoose 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-mongoose

Supported Versions

• mongoose versions >=5.9.7 <9

Usage

To load a specific plugin, specify it in the registerInstrumentations's configuration:

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

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

registerInstrumentations({
  instrumentations: [
    new MongooseInstrumentation(),
  ],
})

Semantic Conventions

This instrumentation implements Semantic Conventions (semconv) v1.7.0. Since then, networking (in semconv v1.23.1) and database (in semconv v1.33.0) semantic conventions were stabilized. As of @opentelemetry/instrumentation-mongoose@0.44.0 support has been added for migrating to the stable semantic conventions using the OTEL_SEMCONV_STABILITY_OPT_IN environment variable as follows:

• Upgrade to the latest version of this instrumentation package.
• Set OTEL_SEMCONV_STABILITY_OPT_IN=http/dup,database/dup to emit both old and stable semantic conventions. (The http token is used to control the net.* attributes, the database token to control the db.* attributes.)
• Modify alerts, dashboards, metrics, and other processes in your Observability system to use the stable semantic conventions.
• Set OTEL_SEMCONV_STABILITY_OPT_IN=http,database to emit only the stable semantic conventions.

By default, if OTEL_SEMCONV_STABILITY_OPT_IN includes neither of the above tokens, the old v1.7.0 semconv is used. The intent is to provide an approximate 6 month time window for users of this instrumentation to migrate to the new database and networking semconv, after which a new minor version will use the new semconv by default and drop support for the old semconv. See the HTTP migration guide and the database migration guide for details.
