  • Method Details

    • start

      Context start(String methodName, Context context)
      Creates a new tracing span.

      The context will be checked for information about a parent span. If a parent span is found, the new span will be added as a child. Otherwise, the parent span will be created and added to the context and any downstream start() calls will use the created span as the parent.

      Code samples

      Starts a tracing span with provided method name and explicit parent span

       // start a new tracing span with given name and parent context implicitly propagated
 // in io.opentelemetry.context.Context.current()
 Context traceContext = tracer.start("keyvault.setsecret", Context.NONE);
 System.out.printf("OpenTelemetry Context with started `keyvault.setsecret` span: %s%n",
     traceContext.getData(PARENT_TRACE_CONTEXT_KEY).get());
      Parameters:
      methodName - Name of the method triggering the span creation.
      context - Additional metadata that is passed through the call stack.
      Returns:
      The updated Context object containing the returned span.
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if methodName or context is null.

    • start

      default Context start(String methodName, StartSpanOptions options, Context context)
      Creates a new tracing span.

      The context will be checked for information about a parent span. If a parent span is found, the new span will be added as a child. Otherwise, the parent span will be created and added to the context and any downstream start() calls will use the created span as the parent.

      Code samples

      Starts a tracing span with provided method name and explicit parent span

       // start a new CLIENT tracing span with the given start options and explicit parent context
 StartSpanOptions options = new StartSpanOptions(SpanKind.CLIENT)

    • start

      Context start(String methodName, Context context, ProcessKind processKind)
      Creates a new tracing span for AMQP calls.
