OpenTelemetry Resource Detector for GCP

The OpenTelemetry Resource is an immutable representation of the entity producing telemetry. For example, a process producing telemetry that is running in a container on Kubernetes has a Pod name, it is in a namespace and possibly is part of a Deployment which also has a name. All three of these attributes can be included in the Resource.

This document defines standard attributes for resources.

Installation

The GCP resource detector requires Node.JS 10+ due to a dependency on gcp-metadata which uses features only available in Node.JS 10+.

npm install --save @opentelemetry/resource-detector-gcp

Usage

import { detectResources } from '@opentelemetry/resources';
import { gcpDetector } from '@opentelemetry/resource-detector-gcp'
const resource = await detectResources({
   detectors: [gcpDetector],
})

const tracerProvider = new NodeTracerProvider({ resource });
