Pantsbuild OpenTelemetry Plugin from Shoal Software LLC

Pantsbuild OpenTelemetry Plugin

Overview

This is a plugin to the Pantsbuild build orchestration tool to emit tracing spans to OpenTelemetry-compatible systems for the build workflows orchestrated by Pants. The plugin is licensed under the Apache License 2.0.

Installation

From PyPI:

1. In the relevant Pants project, edit pants.toml to set the [GLOBAL].plugins option to include shoalsoft-pants-opentelemetry-plugin and the [GLOBAL].backend_packages option to include shoalsoft.pants_opentelemetry_plugin.

2. For basic export to a local OTLP/GRPC OpenTelemetry agent on its default port, configure the plugin as follows in pants.toml:

   [shoalsoft-opentelemetry]
   enabled = true
   exporter = "grpc"
   

3. The plugin exposes many other options (which correspond to OTEL_ environment variables in other systems). Run pants help-advanced shoalsoft-opentelemetry to see all of the plugin's available configuration options.

Note: The plugin respects any TRACEPARENT environment variable and will link generated traces to the parent trace and span referenced in the TRACEPARENT.
