opentelemetry-instrumentation-ws

Adds opentelemetry tracing instrumentation for the ws library. Traces socket opens, closes, sends, and optionally messages for the WebSocket constructor, and traces upgrades that happen on http.Server, https.Server, and WebSocket.Server.

Installation

Install the package with

npm install opentelemetry-instrumentation-ws

yarn add opentelemetry-instrumentation-ws

Usage

You must register the intstrumentation using the OpenTelemetry Node SDK, and you must take care to do this as soon as possible so the patches to the ws library are made before your app's code requires the library.

import { WSInstrumentation } from "opentelemetry-instrumentation-ws";

import { registerInstrumentations } from '@opentelemetry/instrumentation';

registerInstrumentations({
  tracerProvider,
  instrumentations: [
    new WSInstrumentation({
      // see below for configuration options
    })
  ]
});

Config

The ws instrumentation has few options available to choose from. You can set the following:

Options	Type	Description
`sendSpans`	boolean	should the tracing library add spans for each sent message. Default: false
`messageEvents`	boolean	should the tracing library add span events for each incoming message. Default: false
`sendHook`	(span: Span, hookInfo: HookInfo) => void	hook for adding custom attributes to the ws send span when a websocket sends a message
`closeHook`	(span: Span, hookInfo: HookInfo) => void	hook for adding custom attributes to the ws close span when a websocket is imperatively closed
`handleUpgradeHook`	(span: Span, hookInfo: HookInfo) => void	hook for adding custom attributes to the ws.Server handleUpgrade span when a socket is opened against a server
