NAME

OpenTelemetry::Constants - Constants used by OpenTelemetry

SYNOPSIS

use OpenTelemetry::Constants -span_status;
use OpenTelemetry::Constants
    -trace_export => { -as => sub { shift =~ s/^TRACE_EXPORT_//r } };

DESCRIPTION

This package includes constants used by different parts of OpenTelemetry.

It uses Exporter::Tiny to make it easier to export these symbols in a way that is most helpful depending on the context. Please look at the documentation of that module for details on what is supported.

CONSTANTS

Span Status Codes

These constants are used to specify the status of a span once it has completed. They can be imported individually, or with the span_status tag.

SPAN_STATUS_UNSET

The status of a span when no status has been set. This is the default value.

SPAN_STATUS_OK

The status of a span that has been marked as having completed successfully by an application.

SPAN_STATUS_ERROR

The status of a span that has been marked as not having completed successfully by an application.

Span Kinds

These constants are used to specify the type of the span. They can be imported individually, or with the span_kind tag.

SPAN_KIND_INTERNAL

The span is internal to an application, and is not at one of its boundaries (eg. with other applications). If no kind is specified, this is the default value.

SPAN_KIND_SERVER

The span covers the server-side handling of some remote network request.

SPAN_KIND_CLIENT

The span describes a request to a remote service.

SPAN_KIND_PRODUCER

The span describes a message sent to a broker. Unlike the client and server kinds above, the action represented by this span ends once the broker accepts the message, even if the logical processing of that message can take longer.

SPAN_KIND_CONSUMER

The span describes a consumer receiving a message from a broker.

Trace Export Results

These constants are used to distinguish the result of a trace export operation. They can be imported individually, or with the trace_export tag.

TRACE_EXPORT_SUCCESS

Marks an export operation as a success.

TRACE_EXPORT_FAILURE

Marks an export operation as a failure.

TRACE_EXPORT_TIMEOUT

Marks an export operation that was interrupted because it took too long.

Placeholder Invalid IDs

These constants are used as global null values for span and trace IDs. They can be imported individually.

INVALID_SPAN_ID

Returns a constant ID that can be used to identify an invalid span in bytes.

INVALID_TRACE_ID

Returns a constant ID that can be used to identify an invalid trace in bytes.

HEX_INVALID_SPAN_ID

Returns a constant ID that can be used to identify an invalid span as a hexadecimal string in lowercase.

HEX_INVALID_TRACE_ID

Returns a constant ID that can be used to identify an invalid trace as a hexadecimal string in lowercase.
