Span status

Span Status

The optional flag -ss or --span-status allows users to specify the span status.

If not specified, tracepusher assumes an OK status.

For reference, these map to values of 0 (Unset), 1 (OK) or 2 (Error) according to the OpenTelemetry specification.

Valid Span Statuses

These are case insensitive:

• OK (default)
• ERROR
• UNSET (if you use anything other than "OK" or "ERROR")

Examples

Defaults to OK

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

Explicitly set to OK

./tracepusher \
  -ep http://localhost:4318 \

  --span-status OK

Explicitly set to Error

./tracepusher \
  -ep http://localhost:4318 \
