Span kind

Span Kind

The optional flag -sk or --span-kind allows users to specify the span kind.

If not specified, tracepusher generates INTERNAL type spans. But using the above parameter, a user can override this.

Valid Span Types

• UNSPECIFIED (tracepusher automatically transforms this to INTERNAL as per the spec)
• INTERNAL (default)
• CLIENT
• SERVER
• CONSUMER
• PRODUCER

Example

./tracepusher \
  -ep http://localhost:4318 \
  -sen serviceA \
  -spn span1 \
  -dur 2 \
  --span-kind CONSUMER
