OpenTelemetry Google Cloud Integration

This library provides support for exporting traces to Google Cloud Trace.

To get started with instrumentation in Google Cloud, see Generate traces and metrics with Python.

To learn more about instrumentation and observability, including opinionated recommendations for Google Cloud Observability, visit Instrumentation and observability.

For resource detection and GCP trace context propagation, see opentelemetry-tools-google-cloud. For the Google Cloud Monitoring exporter, see opentelemetry-exporter-gcp-monitoring.

Installation

pip install opentelemetry-exporter-gcp-trace

Usage

from opentelemetry import trace
from opentelemetry.exporter.cloud_trace import CloudTraceSpanExporter
from opentelemetry.sdk.trace import TracerProvider
from opentelemetry.sdk.trace.export import (
    SimpleSpanProcessor,
)

trace.set_tracer_provider(TracerProvider())

cloud_trace_exporter = CloudTraceSpanExporter(
    project_id='my-gcloud-project',
)
trace.get_tracer_provider().add_span_processor(
    SimpleSpanProcessor(cloud_trace_exporter)
)
tracer = trace.get_tracer(__name__)
with tracer.start_as_current_span('foo'):
    print('Hello world!')
