@opentelemetry/instrumentation-socket.io

OpenTelemetry socket.io Instrumentation for Node.js

This module provides automatic instrumentation for the socket.io 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-socket.io

Usage

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

const { NodeTracerProvider } = require("@opentelemetry/sdk-trace-node");
const {
  SocketIoInstrumentation,
} = require("@opentelemetry/instrumentation-socket.io");
const { registerInstrumentations } = require("@opentelemetry/instrumentation");

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

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

Optional Parameters

Option	Type	Default	Description
emitHook	SocketIoHookFunction	undefined	hook for adding custom attributes before socket.io emits the event
emitIgnoreEventList	string[]	[]	names of emitted events to ignore tracing for
onHook	SocketIoHookFunction	undefined	hook for adding custom attributes before the event listener (callback) is invoked
onIgnoreEventList	string[]	[]	names of listened events to ignore tracing for
traceReserved	boolean	false	set to true if you want to trace socket.io reserved events (see docs)

Migration From opentelemetry-instrumentation-socket.io

This instrumentation was originally published and maintained under the name "opentelemetry-instrumentation-socket.io" in this repo.

Few breaking changes were made during porting to the contrib repo:

filterHttpTransport

The instrumentation's config filterHttpTransport option was removed to decouple this instrumentation from the http instrumentation. if you do not want to trace the socket.io http requests, add the default socket.io route (/socket.io/) to the HttpInstrumentationConfig.ignoreIncomingPaths array
