Overview

Represents a logical unit of work in the system. Each trace consists of one or more spans. Each span consists of a start time and a duration. For example, a span can describe the time spent on a distributed call on a separate machine, or the time spent in a small component within a larger operation. Spans can be nested within each other, and in those instances will have a parent-child relationship.

Constant Summary collapse

MAX_ID =

The max value for a Span identifier. Span and trace identifiers should be strictly positive and strictly inferior to this limit.

Limited to 63-bit positive integers, as some other languages might be limited to this, and IDs need to be easy to port across various languages and platforms.

Constructor Details

#initialize(tracer, name, options = {}) ⇒ Span

Create a new span linked to the given tracer. Call the Tracer method start_span() and then finish() once the tracer operation is over.

  • service: the service name for this span

  • resource: the resource this span refers, or name if it’s missing

  • span_type: the type of the span (such as http, db and so on)

  • parent_id: the identifier of the parent span

  • trace_id: the identifier of the root span for this trace

  • context: the context of the span
