Function opentelemetry::trace::mark_span_as_active
source · pub fn mark_span_as_active<T: Span + Send + Sync + 'static>(
span: T,
) -> ContextGuard
Expand description
Mark a given Span
as active.
The Tracer
MUST provide a way to update its active Span
, and MAY provide convenience
methods to manage a Span
’s lifetime and the scope in which a Span
is active. When an
active Span
is made inactive, the previously-active Span
SHOULD be made active. A Span
maybe finished (i.e. have a non-null end time) but still be active. A Span
may be active
on one thread after it has been made inactive on another.
§Examples
use opentelemetry::{global, trace::{Span, Tracer}, KeyValue};
use opentelemetry::trace::{get_active_span, mark_span_as_active};
fn my_function() {
let tracer = global::tracer("my-component-a");
// start an active span in one function
let span = tracer.start("span-name");
let _guard = mark_span_as_active(span);
// anything happening in functions we call can still access the active span...
my_other_function();
}
fn my_other_function() {
// call methods on the current span from
get_active_span(|span| {
span.add_event("An event!".to_string(), vec![KeyValue::new("happened", true)]);
});
}
