Project description

The instana Python package collects key metrics and distributed traces for Instana.

Any feedback is welcome. Happy Python visibility.

CircleCI OpenTracing Badge OpenTelemetry Badge PyPI - Python Version GitHub Release

[!NOTE] Support for OpenTracing is deprecated starting on version 3.0.0. If you still want to use it, rely on any version earlier than 3.0.0 or use the legacy_2.x branch.

Installation

You can use automatic installation or manual installation as described in the following sections:

Automatic installation

Instana remotely instruments your Python applications automatically by Instana AutoTrace webhook in Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift clusters. However, if you prefer to install the package manually, see Manual Installation as follows.

Manual Installation

If you wish to instrument your applications manually, you can install the package with the following into the virtualenv, pipenv, or container (hosted on PyPI):

pip install instana

or to alternatively update an existing installation:

pip install -U instana

Activating Without Code Changes

The Instana package can then be activated without any code changes required by setting the following environment variable for your Python application:

export AUTOWRAPT_BOOTSTRAP=instana

This will cause the Instana Python package to instrument your Python application automatically. Once it finds the Instana host agent, it will report Python metrics and distributed traces.

Activating With Code Changes

Alternatively, if you prefer the manual method, import the instana package inside of your Python application:

import instana

See also our detailed installation document for additional information covering Django, Flask, End-user Monitoring (EUM), and more.

Documentation

You can find more documentation covering supported components and minimum versions in the Instana documentation portal.
