opentelemetry-instrumentation-django-outbox-pattern 0.0.2

Opentelemetry instrumentor for django-outbox-pattern package

Opentelemetry auto instrumentation for django outbox pattern library

This library will help you to use opentelemetry traces and metrics on Django outbox pattern usage library.

Installation

pip install opentelemetry-instrumentation-django-outbox-pattern

How to use ?

You can use the DjangoOutboxPatternInstrumentor().instrument() for example in manage.py file.

#!/usr/bin/env python
"""Django's command-line utility for administrative tasks."""
import os
import sys
import typing

from opentelemetry_instrumentation_django_outbox_pattern import DjangoOutboxPatternInstrumentor

from opentelemetry import trace
from opentelemetry.sdk.trace import TracerProvider
from opentelemetry.sdk.trace.export import BatchSpanProcessor
from opentelemetry.sdk.trace.export import ConsoleSpanExporter
from opentelemetry.trace.span import Span


def publisher_hook(span: Span, body: typing.Dict, headers: typing.Dict):
    # Custom code in your project here we can see span attributes and make custom logic with then.
    pass


def consumer_hook(span: Span, body: typing.Dict, headers: typing.Dict):
    # Custom code in your project here we can see span attributes and make custom logic with then.
    pass


provider = TracerProvider()
trace.set_tracer_provider(provider)
provider.add_span_processor(BatchSpanProcessor(ConsoleSpanExporter()))

def main():
    os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "application.settings")
    DjangoOutboxPatternInstrumentor().instrument(
        trace_provider=trace,
        publisher_hook=publisher_hook,
        consumer_hook=consumer_hook,
    )
    try:
        from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line
    except ImportError as exc:
        raise ImportError(
            "Couldn't import Django. Are you sure it's installed and "
            "available on your PYTHONPATH environment variable? Did you "
            "forget to activate a virtual environment?"
        ) from exc
    execute_from_command_line(sys.argv)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

The code above will create telemetry wrappers inside django-outbox-pattern code and creates automatic spans with broker data.

The DjangoOutboxPatternInstrumentor can receive three optional parameters:

• trace_provider: The tracer provider to use in open-telemetry spans.
• publisher_hook: The callable function on publisher action to call before the original function call, use this to override, enrich the span or get span information in the main project.
• consumer_hook: The callable function on consumer action to call before the original function call, use this to override, enrich the span or get span information in the main project.

:warning: The hook function will not raise an exception when an error occurs inside hook function, only a warning log is generated

Span Generated

save published {destination}

With the django-outbox-pattern, when you create on Published objects one object is saved and this saved is instrumentalized.

from django_outbox_pattern.models import Published

Published.objects.create(
    destination='destination',
    body={
        "random": "body"
    },
)
    

The outbox save span had save published {destination} name.

send {destination}

After save the object in Published model the publish command will get all pending messages and publish there to broker

python manage.py publish

The outbox publish span had publish {destination} name.

Consumer

Using the django-outbox-pattern, we create a simple consumer using subscribe management command, using this command we can see the consumer spans.

   python manage.py subscribe 'dotted.path.to.callback' 'destination' 'queue_name'

Consumer spans can generate up to three types:

• process {destination}
• ack {destination}
• nack {destination}

Supress django-outbox-pattern traces and metrics

When the flag OTEL_PYTHON_DJANGO_OUTBOX_PATTERN_INSTRUMENT has False value traces and metrics will not be generated. Use this to supress the django-outbox-pattern-instrumentation instrumentation.
