Updates:
- go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation (and subpackages) from 0.52.0 to 0.55.0
- go.opentelemetry.io/otel (and subpackages) from 1.27.0 to 1.30.0
Upstream release notes:
https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go-contrib/releases
Also transitively updates a few golang.org/x/ dependencies, and the grpc and protobuf
dependencies.
This upgrades otel to v1.15.0, and the /contrib/ packages to v0.41.0.
Several dependencies are upgraded as dependencies, notably grpc.
This contains a change to grpc, only mapping some grpc.Errors into span
errors if it's Unknown, DeadlineExceeded, Unimplemented, Internal,
Unavailable, or DataLoss, which should be helpful for us as we use grpc
errors semantically in Boulder, especially NotFound.
Add a new shared config stanza which all boulder components can use to
configure their Open Telemetry tracing. This allows components to
specify where their traces should be sent, what their sampling ratio
should be, and whether or not they should respect their parent's
sampling decisions (so that web front-ends can ignore sampling info
coming from outside our infrastructure). It's likely we'll need to
evolve this configuration over time, but this is a good starting point.
Add basic Open Telemetry setup to our existing cmd.StatsAndLogging
helper, so that it gets initialized at the same time as our other
observability helpers. This sets certain default fields on all
traces/spans generated by the service. Currently these include the
service name, the service version, and information about the telemetry
SDK itself. In the future we'll likely augment this with information
about the host and process.
Finally, add instrumentation for the HTTP servers and grpc
clients/servers. This gives us a starting point of being able to monitor
Boulder, but is fairly minimal as this PR is already somewhat unwieldy:
It's really only enough to understand that everything is wired up
properly in the configuration. In subsequent work we'll enhance those
spans with more data, and add more spans for things not automatically
traced here.
