Rack::Tracer

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'signalfx-rack-tracer'

Usage

require 'opentracing'
OpenTracing.global_tracer = TracerImplementation.new

require 'rack/tracer'
use Rack::Tracer

You can access the created span using

env['rack.span']

or you can use

OpenTracing.active_span

See opentracing-ruby for more information how active_span works and what are its limitations.

You can also add start and finish span callbacks

use Rack::Tracer,
    on_start_span: ->(span) { do_something(span) },
    on_finish_span: ->(_span) { do_something(span) }
