OpenCensus Python exporter for Honeycomb
A simple exporter to translate OpenCensus span data into Honeycomb traces.
Usage
from opencensus.trace import tracer as tracer_module
from opencensus.trace.exporters import file_exporter
from opencensus.trace.exporters import honeycomb_exporter
exporter = honeycomb_exporter.HoneycombExporter(writekey="REDACTED", dataset="dataset", service_name="test-app")
tracer = tracer_module.Tracer(exporter=exporter)
# Example for creating nested spans
with tracer.span(name='span1') as span1:
do_something_to_trace()
with tracer.span(name='span1_child1') as span1_child1:
span1_child1.add_annotation("great annotation")
do_something_to_trace()
Example
Currently there's no easy way to install this. Will get this sorted out sooner than later. For now, you can clone the repo and copy the exporter to the opencensus/trace/exporters directory where your Python libraries are.
git clone https://github.com/codeboten/opencensus-python-honeycomb-exporter
cd opencensus-python-honeycomb-exporter
HONEYCOMB_WRITEKEY=XXXXXX HONEYCOMB_DATASET=test-data-set python example.pyRequirements
pip install opencensus
pip install libhoney
