OpenTelemetry Instrumentation Document Load
This module provides automated instrumentation for document load for Web applications.
Compatible with OpenTelemetry JS API and SDK 1.0+
.
Installation
npm install --save @opentelemetry/instrumentation-document-load
Usage
import { ConsoleSpanExporter, SimpleSpanProcessor } from '@opentelemetry/sdk-trace-base';
import { WebTracerProvider } from '@opentelemetry/sdk-trace-web';
import { DocumentLoadInstrumentation } from '@opentelemetry/instrumentation-document-load';
import { XMLHttpRequestInstrumentation } from '@opentelemetry/instrumentation-xml-http-request';
import { registerInstrumentations } from '@opentelemetry/instrumentation';
import { B3Propagator } from '@opentelemetry/propagator-b3';
import { CompositePropagator, W3CTraceContextPropagator } from '@opentelemetry/core';
const provider = new WebTracerProvider();
provider.addSpanProcessor(new SimpleSpanProcessor(new ConsoleSpanExporter()));
provider.register({
propagator: new CompositePropagator({
propagators: [
new B3Propagator(),
new W3CTraceContextPropagator(),
],
}),
});
registerInstrumentations({
instrumentations: [
new DocumentLoadInstrumentation(),
new XMLHttpRequestInstrumentation({
ignoreUrls: [/localhost/],
propagateTraceHeaderCorsUrls: [
'http://localhost:8090',
],
}),
],
});
Optional: Send a trace parent from your server
This instrumentation supports connecting the server side spans for the initial HTML load with the client side span for the load from the browser's timing API. This works by having the server send its parent trace context (trace ID, span ID and trace sampling decision) to the client.
Because the browser does not send a trace context header for the initial page navigation, the server needs to fake a trace context header in a middleware and then send that trace context header back to the client as a meta tag traceparent . The traceparent meta tag should be in the trace context W3C draft format . For example:
...
<head>
<meta name="traceparent" content="00-ab42124a3c573678d4d8b21ba52df3bf-d21f7bc17caa5aba-01">
</head>
<body>
...
<script>
</script>
</body>
