This library provides instrumentation for Spring Web applications (Boot, MVC and WebFlux). It creates tracing data for
server requests and also client requests (RestTemplate, AsyncRestTemplate and WebClient).
Comparison with opentracing-spring-cloud
As it was mentioned above, this library traces only inbound/outbound HTTP requests. If you would like to
get automatically traced different set of technologies e.g. spring-cloud-netflix, JMS or even more then
use project opentracing-spring-cloud instead.
For reactive applications, it is especially recommended to use reactor tracing from
opentracing-spring-cloud, as that will ensure
that the Span is activated in reactor handler functions. (Without that, one would have to extract the
Span from the subscriber context.)
Server span is started in Web Servlet Filter,
then tracing interceptor adds spring related tags and logs. There are use case when spring boot invokes a handler after
a request processing in filter finished, in this case interceptor starts a new span as followsFrom
which references the initial span created in the servlet filter.
Server span is started in TracingWebFilter
(upon subscription), then onNext(), onError(), etc. handlers add Spring WebFlux related tags and logs.
Versions 1.x.y, 2.x.y, ... of the library are meant to target Spring Framework 5.x and Spring Boot 2.x while versions 0.x.y are meant to be used with Spring Framework 4.3 and Spring Boot 1.5
If you are using Spring Boot the easiest way how to configure OpenTracing instrumentation is to use auto-configuration:
<dependency>
<groupId>io.opentracing.contrib</groupId>
<artifactId>opentracing-spring-web-starter</artifactId>
</dependency>
Just provide an OpenTracing tracer bean and all required configuration is automatically
done for you. It also instruments all RestTemplate, AsyncRestTemplate, WebClient and WebClient.Builder beans.
Configuration needs to add TracingFilter and TracingHandlerInterceptor. Both of these classes
are required!
Tracing interceptor can be instantiated manually or injected via CDI, but
it needs bean of type Tracer configured.
Java based configuration:
@Configuration
@Import({TracingHandlerInterceptor.class})
public class MVCConfiguration extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {
@Autowired
private Tracer tracer;
@Override
public void addInterceptors(InterceptorRegistry registry) {
registry.addInterceptor(new TracingHandlerInterceptor(tracer));
}
@Bean
public FilterRegistrationBean tracingFilter() {
TracingFilter tracingFilter = new TracingFilter(tracer);
FilterRegistrationBean filterRegistrationBean = new FilterRegistrationBean(tracingFilter);
filterRegistrationBean.addUrlPatterns("/*");
filterRegistrationBean.setOrder(Integer.MIN_VALUE);
filterRegistrationBean.setAsyncSupported(true);
return filterRegistrationBean;
}
}XML based configuration can be used too. Filter can be also directly defined in web.xml.
Configuration needs to add the TracingWebFilter bean.
@Configuration
class TracingConfiguration {
@Bean
public TracingWebFilter tracingWebFilter(Tracer tracer) {
return new TracingWebFilter(
tracer,
Integer.MIN_VALUE, // Order
Pattern.compile(""), // Skip pattern
Collections.emptyList(), // URL patterns, empty list means all
Arrays.asList(new WebFluxSpanDecorator.StandardTags(), new WebFluxSpanDecorator.WebFluxTags())
);
}
}RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
restTemplate.setInterceptors(Collections.singletonList(new TracingRestTemplateInterceptor(tracer)));
// the same applies for AsyncRestTemplate WebClient webClient = WebClient.builder()
.filter(new TracingExchangeFilterFunction(tracer, Collections.singletonList(new WebClientSpanDecorator.StandardTags())))
.build();@RequestMapping("/hello")
public String hello(HttpServletRequest request) {
Span serverSpan = tracer.activeSpan();
Span span = tracer.buildSpan("localSpan")
.asChildOf(serverSpan.context())
.start();
try {
// Traced work happens between start() and deactivate();
return "Hello world!";
} finally {
span.finish();
}
