NAME

OpenTracing::Implementation - Use OpenTracing with a specific implementation

VERSION

'v0.33.2'

SYNOPSIS

    use OpenTracing::Implementation;
    
    OpenTracing::Implementation->bootstrap_global_default_tracer();

The above is the recommended usecase, which will instantiate the default tracer from PERL_OPENTRACING_IMPLEMENTATION environment variable and set the OpenTracing::GlobalTracer for general usage.

But you can still do the below:

    use OpenTracing::Implementation 'YourBackend', option_one => 'foo';

Which instantiates the OpenTracing::GlobalTracer.

Or if you like

    use OpenTracing::Implementation;

Which will only use the module. And then one can do a manual bootstrap

    OpenTracing::Implementation->bootstrap_global_tracer( '+My::Implementation',
        option_one => 'foo',
        option_two => 'bar',
    );

Alternativly, when you like to rely on environment variables

    my $tracer = OpenTracing::Implementation->bootstrap_default_tracer(
        option_one => 'foo',
        option_two => 'bar',
    );
    # but maybe not all options make sense to every tracer, be warned
    
    OpenTracing::GlobalTracer->set_global_tracer( $tracer );

Or if you just want a bootastrapped tracer:

    my $tracer = OpenTracing::Implementation->bootstrap_tracer( 'ProviderFoo'
        option_one => 'foo',
        option_two => 'bar',
    );

DESCRIPTION

This module provides an easy way to bootstrap a specific OpenTracing::Implementation compliant tracer and have it globally available.

CLASS METHODS

bootstrap_tracer

Bootstraps a given tracer implementation with various options for that tracer.

Required Positional Paramaters

implementation_name

Must be a Str type. It will look for the implementation inside the OpenTracing::Implementation namespace, so it is easy to specify any of the exisitng ones like NoOp, Test, and DataDog.

If a tracer lives outside that namespace, it would need to be prepended with a +, like in +My::Iplementation.

Optional Parameters

Any parameters required to bootstrap the given implementation according to their specifications and documentation.

Retruns

The build Tracer object

bootstrap_default_tracer

Same as bootstrap_tracer, except that it will use whatever is specified in the PERL_OPENTRACING_IMPLEMENTATION environment variable, Or NoOp if not set.

Do not pass in the name as first argument.

bootstrap_global_tracer

Same as bootstrap_tracer, but additionally sets the 'singleton' inside OpenTracing::GlabalTracer.

bootstrap_global_default_tracer

Same as bootstrap_global_tracer combined with bootstrap_default_tracer, it sets the 'singleton' inside OpenTracing::GlabalTracer with the default tracer from PERL_OPENTRACING_IMPLEMENTATION.

NB: it is considdered that (after years) this should be the ONLY method made available, and that all configuration SHOULD be done throughout environment variables, and not via code.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

PERL_OPENTRACING_IMPLEMENTATION

Will be used when calling bootstrap_default_tracer or bootstrap_global_default_tracer.

NB: OPENTRACING_IMPLEMENTATION is being depricated.

When neither is set, and either bootstrap_default_tracer or bootstrap_global_default_tracer is called, instantiation will try to fall back to the OpenTracing::Implementation::NoOp Tracer.

PERL_OPENTRACING_DEBUG

This controls at OpenTracing level weather or not to enable or disable debugging messages. Its value being set will override a more generic DEBUG varaible.

NB: OPENTRACING_DEBUG is being depricated.

DEBUG

This module respects the generic DEBUG environment variable. But it will be (locally) overridden by the PERL_OPENTRACING_DEBUG envirtonment variable.
