NAME

OpenTracing::Span - represents an operation or parent operation

DESCRIPTION

The reference definition for a span is a good starting point for understanding these:

https://opentracing.io/docs/overview/spans/

new

Instantiates a new span. Rarely called directly - you'd want to let the OpenTracing::Tracer take care of this for you.

Takes the following named parameters:

• parent - an OpenTracing::Span for a parent instance (optional)

• parent_id - the span ID for the parent (optional)

• trace_id - the current trace ID (optional)

• operation_name - what to use for this span name

trace_id

id

The span ID. This should be unique.

parent_id

Parent span ID. 0 if there isn't one.

The semantic conventions may be of interest here.

  'http.method' => 'GET'
 );
