NAME

OpenTracing::Implementation::DataDog::Client - A Client that sends off the spans

SYNOPSIS

use alias OpenTracing::Implementation::DataDog::Client;

my $datadog_client = ->new(
    http_user_agent => LWP::UserAgent->new();
    host            => 'localhost',
    port            => '8126',
    path            => 'v0.3/traces',
); # these are defaults

and later:

$datadog_client->send_span( $span );

DESCRIPTION

The main responsabillity of this Client is to provide the send_span method, that will send the data to the local running DataDog agent.

It does this by calling to_struct that massages the generic OpenTracing data, like baggage_items from SpanContext and tags from Span, together with the DataDog specific data like resource_name.

This structure will be send of as a JSON string to the local installed DataDog agent.

OPTIONAL ATTRIBUTES

The attributes below can be set during instantiation, but none are required and have sensible defaults, that may actually play nice with known DataDog environment variables

http_user_agent

A HTTP User Agent that connects to the locally running DataDog agent. This will default to a LWP::UserAgent, but any User Agent will suffice, as long as it has a required delegate method request, that takes a HTTP::Request object and returns a HTTP::Response compliant response object.

scheme

The scheme being used, should be either http or https, defaults to http

host

The host-name where the DataDog agent is running, which defaults to localhost or the value of either DD_HOST or DD_AGENT_HOST environment variable if set.

port

The port-number the DataDog agent is listening at, which defaults to 8126 or the value of the DD_TRACE_AGENT_PORT environment variable if set.

env

The environment name to pass to the agent. By default, no environment is passed.

path

The path the DataDog agent is expecting requests to come in, which defaults to v0.3/traces.

DELEGATED INSTANCE METHODS

The following method(s) are required by the DataDog::Tracer:

send_span

This method gets called by the DataDog::Tracer to send a Span with its specific DataDog::SpanContext.

This will typically get called during on_finish.

Required Positional Arguments

$span

A OpenTracing Span compliant object, that will be serialised (using to_struct and converted to JSON).

Returns

A boolean, that comes from is_succes.

INSTANCE METHODS

to_struct

Gather required data from a single span and its context, tags and baggage items.

Required Positional Arguments

$span

Returns

a hashreference with the following keys:

trace_id
span_id
resource
service
type (optional)
name
start
duration
parent_id (optional)
error (TODO)
meta (optional)
metrics

Notes

This data structure is specific for sending it through the DataDog agent and therefore can not be a intance method of the DataDog::Span object.
