README.md

Overview

This example shows how to use @opentelemetry/tracing to instrument a simple Node.js application - e.g. a batch job - and export spans either to Stackdriver Trace.

Installation

$ # from this directory
$ npm install

Authenticate

If you are running in a GCP environment, the exporter will automatically authenticate as the service account of your environment. Please make sure that it has permission to access stackdriver trace.

If you are not running in a GCP environment you will need to create a service account and save the service account key json in the root of this example named service_account_key.json. For more information, visit https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/.

Run the Application

$ # from this directory
$ npm start
