Example Opentracing App

Building

Make sure that you have Go installed, then run go build. If you are missing dependencies, run go get ./.... Alternatively, you can build the application using docker by running scripts/docker_build.sh.

Running

This is a trivial example app that demonstrates how OpenTracing can be used with!

To run the program, run ./opentracing-example. This will, by default, start a new Appdash server and write all of your traces to it. However, if you want to use a different tracer system, i.e. LightStep, all you have to do is pass the flag --lightstep.token=ACCESS_TOKEN.

Docker

A prebuilt docker image already exists. Run docker run --rm -ti -p 8080:8080 -p 8700 bg451/opentracing-example. If you run the docker image, you might not be able to access the various endpoints through localhost. If using docker machine. docker-machine ip MY_MACHINE will give you the IP you should access the addresses at, i.e. 123.45.67.123:8700/traces.

Todo

• Add a second process that's in a different language, i.e. python.
