OpenTelemetry HttpClient Instrumentation

The HttpClient instrumentation is a community-maintained instrumentation for the HttpClient gem.

How do I get started?

Install the gem using:

gem install opentelemetry-instrumentation-http_client

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

Usage

To use the instrumentation, call use with the name of the instrumentation:

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

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

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

Examples
