OpenTelemetry ActiveSupport Instrumentation

The Active Support instrumentation is a community-maintained instrumentation for the Active Support portion of the Ruby on Rails web-application framework.

How do I get started?

Install the gem using:

gem install opentelemetry-instrumentation-active_support

Or, if you use bundler, include opentelemetry-instrumentation-active_support in your Gemfile.

Usage

To use the instrumentation, call use with the name of the instrumentation and subscribe to desired ActiveSupport notification:

OpenTelemetry::SDK.configure do |c|
  c.use 'OpenTelemetry::Instrumentation::ActiveSupport'
end


tracer = OpenTelemetry.tracer_provider.tracer('my_app_or_gem', '0.1.0')
::OpenTelemetry::Instrumentation::ActiveSupport.subscribe(tracer, 'bar.foo')

Alternatively, you can also call use_all to install all the available instrumentation.

OpenTelemetry::SDK.configure do |c|
  c.use_all
end

Examples

Example usage can be seen in the ./example/trace_demonstration.rb file here
