OpenTelemetry instrumentation for asyncio

AsyncioInstrumentor: Tracing Requests Made by the Asyncio Library

The opentelemetry-instrumentation-asyncio package allows tracing asyncio applications. It also includes metrics for duration and counts of coroutines and futures. Metrics are generated even if coroutines are not traced.

Set the names of coroutines you want to trace.

export OTEL_PYTHON_ASYNCIO_COROUTINE_NAMES_TO_TRACE=coro_name,coro_name2,coro_name3

If you want to trace specific blocking functions executed with the to_thread function of asyncio, set the name of the functions in OTEL_PYTHON_ASYNCIO_TO_THREAD_FUNCTION_NAMES_TO_TRACE.

export OTEL_PYTHON_ASYNCIO_TO_THREAD_FUNCTION_NAMES_TO_TRACE=func_name,func_name2,func_name3

You can enable tracing futures with OTEL_PYTHON_ASYNCIO_FUTURE_TRACE_ENABLED

export OTEL_PYTHON_ASYNCIO_FUTURE_TRACE_ENABLED=true

Run instrumented application

1. coroutine

# export OTEL_PYTHON_ASYNCIO_COROUTINE_NAMES_TO_TRACE=sleep

import asyncio
from opentelemetry.instrumentation.asyncio import AsyncioInstrumentor

AsyncioInstrumentor().instrument()

async def main():
    await asyncio.create_task(asyncio.sleep(0.1))

asyncio.run(main())

2. future

# export OTEL_PYTHON_ASYNCIO_FUTURE_TRACE_ENABLED=true

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()

future = asyncio.Future()
future.set_result(1)
task = asyncio.ensure_future(future)
loop.run_until_complete(task)

3. to_thread

# export OTEL_PYTHON_ASYNCIO_TO_THREAD_FUNCTION_NAMES_TO_TRACE=func

import asyncio
from opentelemetry.instrumentation.asyncio import AsyncioInstrumentor

AsyncioInstrumentor().instrument()

async def main():
    await asyncio.to_thread(func)

def func():
    pass

asyncio.run(main())

asyncio metric types

• asyncio.process.duration (seconds) - Duration of asyncio process

• asyncio.process.count (count) - Number of asyncio process
