Span attribute types

Span Attribute Types

The optional -spnattrs or equivalent long form version: --span-attributes exists to add span attributes to the spans that tracepusher creates.

Add as many attributes as you like.

Formatting Span Attributes

Tracepusher will accept two possible inputs:

  • --span-attributes foo=bar
  • --span-attributes foo=bar=<TYPE>

In the first, the value is assumed to be of type stringValue.

In the second, you specify the value type. Possible types are: stringValue, boolValue, intValue, doubleValue, arrayValue, kvlistValue or bytesValue.

Separate each attribute with a space.

python tracepusher.py \
--endpoint http(s)://OTEL-COLLECTOR-ENDPOINT:4318
--service-name service_name \
--span-name spanA \
--duration 2 \
--span-attributes foo=bar foo2=23=intValue
docker run gardnera/tracepusher:v0.8.0 \
-ep http(s)://OTEL-COLLECTOR-ENDPOINT:4318 \
-sen service_name \
-spn span_name \
-dur SPAN_TIME_IN_SECONDS \
-spnattrs foo=bar foo2=bar2=stringValue
