Stackdriver Instrumentation Configuration

Stackdriver instrumentation libraries are fully integrated with Rails configuration interface. You can provide all the configuration parameters in your config/environments/*.rb files:

Rails.application.configure do |config|
  # Shared project_id and keyfile
  config.google_cloud.project_id = "my-project"
  config.google_cloud.keyfile = "/path/to/key.json"

  # Library specific configurations
  config.google_cloud.error_reporting.project_id = "error-reporting-project"
  config.google_cloud.logging.log_name = "my-app-logname"
  config.google_cloud.trace.capture_stack = true
end

Other Rack-based applications can also configure all the Stackdriver instrumentation libraries through a similar configuration interface in Ruby:

Google::Cloud.configure do |config|
  # Shared project_id and keyfile
  config.project_id = "my-project"
  config.keyfile = "/path/to/key.json"

  # Library specific configurations
  config.error_reporting.project_id = "error-reporting-project"
  config.logging.log_name = "my-app-log"
  config.trace.capture_stack = true
end

Individual libraries can be configured separately:

# Error Reporting specific configurations
Google::Cloud::ErrorReporting.configure do |config|
  config.project_id = "error-reporting-project"
  config.service_name = "my-service"
end

# Logging specific configurations
Google::Cloud::Logging.configure do |config|
  config.project_id = "error-reporting-project"
  config.log_name = "my-app-log"
  config.labels = {
    "my-static-label" => "static-label-value",
    "my-dynamic-label" => ->(rack_env) { rack_env["HTTP_X_MY_HEADER"] }
  }
end

# Trace specific configurations
Google::Cloud::Trace.configure do |config|
  config.project_id = "error-reporting-project"
  config.capture_stack = true
end
