OpenTelemetry urllib3 Instrumentation
======================================
|pypi|
.. |pypi| image:: https://badge.fury.io/py/opentelemetry-instrumentation-urllib3.svg
:target: https://pypi.org/project/opentelemetry-instrumentation-urllib3/
This library allows tracing HTTP requests made by the
`urllib3 <https://urllib3.readthedocs.io/>`_ library.
Installation
------------
::
pip install opentelemetry-instrumentation-urllib3
Usage
-----
.. code-block:: python
import urllib3
from opentelemetry.instrumentation.urllib3 import URLLib3Instrumentor
def strip_query_params(url: str) -> str:
return url.split("?")[0]
URLLib3Instrumentor().instrument(
# Remove all query params from the URL attribute on the span.
url_filter=strip_query_params,
)
http = urllib3.PoolManager()
response = http.request("GET", "https://www.example.org/")
Configuration
-------------
Request/Response hooks
**********************
The urllib3 instrumentation supports extending tracing behavior with the help of
request and response hooks. These are functions that are called back by the instrumentation
right after a Span is created for a request and right before the span is finished processing a response respectively.
The hooks can be configured as follows:
.. code:: python
from typing import Any
from urllib3.connectionpool import HTTPConnectionPool
from urllib3.response import HTTPResponse
from opentelemetry.instrumentation.urllib3 import RequestInfo, URLLib3Instrumentor
from opentelemetry.trace import Span
def request_hook(
span: Span,
pool: HTTPConnectionPool,
request_info: RequestInfo,
) -> Any:
pass
def response_hook(
span: Span,
pool: HTTPConnectionPool,
response: HTTPResponse,
) -> Any:
pass
URLLib3Instrumentor().instrument(
request_hook=request_hook,
response_hook=response_hook,
)
Exclude lists
*************
To exclude certain URLs from being tracked, set the environment variable ``OTEL_PYTHON_URLLIB3_EXCLUDED_URLS``
(or ``OTEL_PYTHON_EXCLUDED_URLS`` as fallback) with comma delimited regexes representing which URLs to exclude.
For example,
::
export OTEL_PYTHON_URLLIB3_EXCLUDED_URLS="client/.*/info,healthcheck"
will exclude requests such as ``https://site/client/123/info`` and ``https://site/xyz/healthcheck``.
