NAME

OpenTracing::Implementation::DataDog::ID - 64bit integers for DataDog

SYNOPSIS

use OpenTracing::Implementation::DataDog::ID qw/random_datadog_id/;

my $data_struct = {
    some_id => random_datadog_id();
};

and later:

print $data_struct->{some_id}->TO_JSON;

DESCRIPTION

This package ensures nice 64bit integers, as expected by DataDog. However, some architectures do not support 64bit ints, and only go for 4 bytes.

Under the hood, this is just a nice abstract way to deal with a Math::BigInt.

EXPORTS OK

The following subroutines can be imported into your namespance:

random_datadog_id

Generates a 64bit integer (or actually a 63bit)

SEE ALSO

OpenTracing::Implementation::DataDog

Sending traces to DataDog using Agent.

Trace and Span ID Formats

If you write code that interacts directly with Datadog tracing spans and traces, here’s what you need to know about how span IDs and trace IDs are generated and accepted by Datadog tracing libraries.
