Sidekiq::Tracer

OpenTracing instrumentation for Sidekiq (both client, and server-side).

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'sidekiq-opentracing'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install sidekiq-opentracing

Usage

The gem hooks up into Sidekiq through middlewares - similar to Rack. Both server-side, and client-side middlewares are supported.

  • Client-side middleware runs before the pushing of the job to Redis and injects the current span context into the job's metadata.
  • Server-side runs around job processing, extracts the context from the job metadata and creates a new span for the server-side proessing.

To instrument Sidekiq (both sides), you need to specify at least a tracer instance and optionally an active span provider - a proc which returns a current active span. The gem plays nicely with spanmanager.

require "sidekiq-opentracing"

Sidekiq::Tracer.instrument(tracer: OpenTracing.global_tracer,
                           active_span: -> { OpenTracing.global_tracer.active_span })

And you are all set.

The code below shows how to register and manage middlewares on your own.

Server-side:

Sidekiq.configure_server do |config|
  config.client_middleware do |chain|
    chain.add Sidekiq::Tracer::ClientMiddleware, OpenTracing.global_tracer
  end

  config.server_middleware do |chain|
    chain.add Sidekiq::Tracer::ServerMiddleware, OpenTracing.global_tracer
  end
end

Client-side:

Sidekiq.configure_client do |config|
  config.client_middleware do |chain|
    chain.add Sidekiq::Tracer::ClientMiddleware, OpenTracing.global_tracer
  end
end

Development

Gem documentation

You can find the documentation by going to CircleCI, looking for the build job, going to Artifacts and clicking on index.html. A visual guide on this can be found in our wiki at Gems Development: Where to find documentation for our gems.

Gem development

After checking out the repo, run bundle install to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bundle console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

This repository uses a gem publishing mechanism on the CI configuration, meaning most work related with cutting a new version is done automatically.

To release a new version, follow the wiki instructions.
