Class TracerContext

Class Documentation

class TracerContext

A class which stores the TracerProvider context.

This class meets the following design criteria:

A shared reference between TracerProvider and Tracers instantiated.
A thread-safe class that allows updating/altering processor/exporter pipelines and sampling config.
The owner/destroyer of Processors/Exporters. These will remain active until this class is destroyed. I.e. Sampling, Exporting, flushing, Custom Iterator etc. are all ok if this object is alive, and they will work together. If this object is destroyed, then no shared references to Processor, Exporter, Recordable, Custom Iterator etc. should exist, and all associated pipelines will have been flushed.

Public Functions

explicit TracerContext(std::vector<std::unique_ptr<SpanProcessor>> &&processor, const opentelemetry::sdk::resource::Resource &resource = opentelemetry::sdk::resource::Resource::Create({}), std::unique_ptr<Sampler> sampler = std::unique_ptr<AlwaysOnSampler>(new AlwaysOnSampler), std::unique_ptr<IdGenerator> id_generator = std::unique_ptr<IdGenerator>(new RandomIdGenerator())) noexcept

void AddProcessor(std::unique_ptr<SpanProcessor> processor) noexcept

Attaches a span processor to list of configured processors to this tracer context. Processor once attached can’t be removed.

Note: This method is not thread safe.

Parameters:: processor – The new span processor for this tracer. This must not be a nullptr. Ownership is given to the TracerContext.

Sampler &GetSampler() const noexcept

Obtain the sampler associated with this tracer.

SpanProcessor &GetProcessor() const noexcept

Obtain the configured (composite) processor.

Note: When more than one processor is active, this will return an “aggregate” processor

const opentelemetry::sdk::resource::Resource &GetResource() const noexcept

Obtain the resource associated with this tracer context.

opentelemetry::sdk::trace::IdGenerator &GetIdGenerator() const noexcept

Obtain the Id Generator associated with this tracer context.

bool ForceFlush(std::chrono::microseconds timeout = (std::chrono::microseconds::max)()) noexcept: Force all active SpanProcessors to flush any buffered spans within the given timeout.

bool Shutdown(std::chrono::microseconds timeout = (std::chrono::microseconds::max)()) noexcept: Shutdown the span processor associated with this tracer provider.
