OpenTelemetry PG Instrumentation

The OpenTelemetry PG Ruby gem is a community maintained instrumentation for PG.

How do I get started?

Install the gem using:

gem install opentelemetry-instrumentation-pg

Or, if you use bundler, include opentelemetry-instrumentation-pg in your Gemfile.

Usage

To use the instrumentation, call use with the name of the instrumentation:

OpenTelemetry::SDK.configure do |c|
  c.use 'OpenTelemetry::Instrumentation::PG'
end

Alternatively, you can also call use_all to install all the available instrumentation.

OpenTelemetry::SDK.configure do |c|
  c.use_all
end

The PG instrumentation allows the user to supply additional attributes via the with_attributes method. This makes it possible to supply additional attributes on PG spans. Attributes supplied in with_attributes supersede those automatically generated within PG's automatic instrumentation. If you supply a db.statement attribute in with_attributes, this library's :db_statement configuration will not be applied.

require 'opentelemetry/instrumentation/pg'

conn = PG::Connection.open(host: "localhost", user: "root", dbname: "postgres")
OpenTelemetry::Instrumentation::PG.with_attributes('pizzatoppings' => 'mushrooms') do
  conn.exec("SELECT 1")
end

Configuration options

OpenTelemetry::SDK.configure do |c|
  c.use 'OpenTelemetry::Instrumentation::PG', {
    # You may optionally set a value for 'peer.service', which
    # will be included on all spans from this instrumentation:
    peer_service: 'postgres:readonly',

    # By default, this instrumentation obfuscate/sanitize the executed SQL as the `db.statement`
    # semantic attribute. Optionally, you may disable the inclusion of this attribute entirely by
    # setting this option to :omit or disbale sanitization the attribute by setting to :include
    db_statement: :include,
  }
end

Examples

An example of usage can be seen in example/pg.rb.
