| -Labeler that supports per-request custom attribute addition to web framework |
17 |
| -instrumentor-originating OpenTelemetry metrics. |
| 16 | +OpenTelemetry Labeler |
| 17 | +===================== |
| 18 | +
|
| 19 | +The labeler utility provides a way to add custom attributes to metrics generated by OpenTelemetry instrumentors. This supports enriching metrics with context-specific information available only after HTTP requests are received, at their origin rather than requiring downstream processing or additional metric calculations. |
18 | 20 |
|
19 | 21 | This was inspired by OpenTelemetry Go's net/http instrumentation Labeler
|
20 | 22 | https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go-contrib/pull/306
|
| 23 | +
|
| 24 | +Usage |
| 25 | +----- |
| 26 | +
|
| 27 | +The labeler works within the context of an instrumented request or operation. Use ``get_labeler()`` to obtain a labeler instance for the current context, then add attributes using the ``add()`` or ``add_attributes()`` methods. |
| 28 | +
|
| 29 | +Example with Flask |
| 30 | +------------------ |
| 31 | +
|
| 32 | +Here's an example showing how to use the labeler with Flask instrumentation: |
| 33 | +
|
| 34 | +.. code-block:: python |
| 35 | +
|
| 36 | + from flask import Flask |
| 37 | + from opentelemetry.instrumentation._labeler import get_labeler |
| 38 | + from opentelemetry.instrumentation.flask import FlaskInstrumentor |
| 39 | +
|
| 40 | + app = Flask(__name__) |
| 41 | + FlaskInstrumentor().instrument_app(app) |
| 42 | +
|
| 43 | + @app.route("/healthcheck") |
| 44 | + def healthcheck(): |
| 45 | + # Get the labeler for the current request |
| 46 | + labeler = get_labeler() |
| 47 | +
|
| 48 | + labeler.add_attributes( |
| 49 | + { |
| 50 | + "endpoint_type": "healthcheck", |
| 51 | + "internal_request": True, |
| 52 | + } |
| 53 | + ) |
| 54 | + return "OK" |
| 55 | +
|
| 56 | + @app.route("/user/<user_id>") |
| 57 | + def user_profile(user_id): |
| 58 | + labeler = get_labeler() |
| 59 | +
|
| 60 | + # Can add individual attributes or multiple at once |
| 61 | + labeler.add("user_id", user_id) |
| 62 | + labeler.add_attributes( |
| 63 | + { |
| 64 | + "has_premium": user_id in ["123", "456"], |
| 65 | + "experiment_group": "control", |
| 66 | + "feature_enabled": True, |
| 67 | + "user_segment": "active", |
| 68 | + } |
| 69 | + ) |
| 70 | +
|
| 71 | + return f"Got user profile for {user_id}" |
| 72 | +
|
| 73 | +The labeler also works with auto-instrumentation. |
