OpenTelemetry Rust Configuration

Ship traces from Rust to OpenSearch with OpenTelemetry

Use OpenTelemetry to easily send Rust traces to your Logit.io Stack.

Install Integration

Please click on the Install Integration button to configure your stack for this source.

Getting Started

You can get help Getting Started with OpenTelemetry for Rust by referring to the official documentation (opens in a new tab).

This example uses the snippet found here (opens in a new tab) as its basis.

use opentelemetry_api::{KeyValue, trace::Tracer};
use opentelemetry_sdk::{trace::{self, RandomIdGenerator, Sampler}, Resource};
use opentelemetry_sdk::util::tokio_interval_stream;
use opentelemetry_otlp::{Protocol, WithExportConfig, ExportConfig};
use std::time::Duration;
use tonic::metadata::*;
 
fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error + Send + Sync + 'static>> {
    let mut map = MetadataMap::with_capacity(1);
 
    map.insert("authorization", "Basic @opentelemetry.base64encodedAuthString".parse().unwrap());
 
    let tracer = opentelemetry_otlp::new_pipeline()
        .tracing()
        .with_exporter(
            opentelemetry_otlp::new_exporter()
            .tonic()
            .with_endpoint("https://@opentelemetry.endpointAddress:@port")
            .with_metadata(map)
        )
        // The trace config below should be amended to your requirements
        .with_trace_config(
            trace::config()
                .with_sampler(Sampler::AlwaysOn)
                .with_id_generator(RandomIdGenerator::default())
                .with_max_events_per_span(64)
                .with_max_attributes_per_span(16)
                .with_max_events_per_span(16)
                .with_resource(Resource::new(vec![KeyValue::new("service.name", "example")])),
        )
        .install_batch(opentelemetry::runtime::Tokio)?;
 
    let export_config = ExportConfig {
        endpoint: "https://@opentelemetry.endpointAddress:@port".to_string(),
        protocol: Protocol::"@protocol:strip_quotes"
    };
 
    tracer.in_span("doing_work", |cx| {
        // Traced app logic here...
    });
 
    Ok(())
}
