TraceService
Service for collecting and viewing traces and spans within a trace.
A trace is a collection of spans corresponding to a single operation or a set of operations in an application.
A span is an individual timed event which forms a node of the trace tree. A single trace can contain spans from multiple services.
BatchWriteSpans |
---|
Batch writes new spans to new or existing traces. You cannot update existing spans.
|
CreateSpan |
---|
Creates a new span.
|
AttributeValue
The allowed types for [VALUE]
in a [KEY]:[VALUE]
attribute.
Fields | |
---|---|
Union field value . The type of the value. value can be only one of the following: |
|
string_ |
A string up to 256 bytes long. |
int_ |
A 64-bit signed integer. |
bool_ |
A Boolean value represented by |
BatchWriteSpansRequest
The request message for the BatchWriteSpans
method.
Fields | |
---|---|
name |
Required. The name of the project where the spans belong. The format is Authorization requires the following IAM permission on the specified resource
|
spans[] |
Required. A list of new spans. The span names must not match existing spans, otherwise the results are undefined. |
Module
Binary module.
Fields | |
---|---|
module |
For example: main binary, kernel modules, and dynamic libraries such as libc.so, sharedlib.so (up to 256 bytes). |
build_ |
A unique identifier for the module, usually a hash of its contents (up to 128 bytes). |
Span
A span represents a single operation within a trace. Spans can be nested to form a trace tree. Often, a trace contains a root span that describes the end-to-end latency, and one or more subspans for its sub-operations.
A trace can also contain multiple root spans, or none at all. Spans do not need to be contiguous. There might be gaps or overlaps between spans in a trace.
Fields | |
---|---|
name |
Required. The resource name of the span in the following format:
Authorization requires the following IAM permission on the specified resource
|
span_ |
Required. The |
parent_ |
The |
display_ |
Required. A description of the span's operation (up to 128 bytes). Cloud Trace displays the description in the Cloud console. For example, the display name can be a qualified method name or a file name and a line number where the operation is called. A best practice is to use the same display name within an application and at the same call point. This makes it easier to correlate spans in different traces. |
start_ |
Required. The start time of the span. On the client side, this is the time kept by the local machine where the span execution starts. On the server side, this is the time when the server's application handler starts running. |
end_ |
Required. The end time of the span. On the client side, this is the time kept by the local machine where the span execution ends. On the server side, this is the time when the server application handler stops running. |
attributes |
A set of attributes on the span. You can have up to 32 attributes per span. |
stack_ |
Stack trace captured at the start of the span. |
time_ |
A set of time events. You can have up to 32 annotations and 128 message events per span. |
links |
Links associated with the span. You can have up to 128 links per Span. |
status |
Optional. The final status for this span. |
same_ |
Optional. Set this parameter to indicate whether this span is in the same process as its parent. If you do not set this parameter, Trace is unable to take advantage of this helpful information. |
child_ |
Optional. The number of child spans that were generated while this span was active. If set, allows implementation to detect missing child spans. |
span_ |
Optional. Distinguishes between spans generated in a particular context. For example, two spans with the same name may be distinguished using |
Attributes
A set of attributes as key-value pairs.
Fields | |
---|---|
attribute_ |
A set of attributes. Each attribute's key can be up to 128 bytes long. The value can be a string up to 256 bytes, a signed 64-bit integer, or the boolean values
|
dropped_ |
The number of attributes that were discarded. Attributes can be discarded because their keys are too long or because there are too many attributes. If this value is 0 then all attributes are valid. |
Link
A pointer from the current span to another span in the same trace or in a different trace. For example, this can be used in batching operations, where a single batch handler processes multiple requests from different traces or when the handler receives a request from a different project.
Fields | |
---|---|
trace_ |
The |
span_ |
The |
type |
The relationship of the current span relative to the linked span. |
attributes |
A set of attributes on the link. Up to 32 attributes can be specified per link. |
Type
The relationship of the current span relative to the linked span: child, parent, or unspecified.
Enums | |
---|---|
TYPE_UNSPECIFIED |
The relationship of the two spans is unknown. |
CHILD_LINKED_SPAN |
The linked span is a child of the current span. |
PARENT_LINKED_SPAN |
The linked span is a parent of the current span. |
Links
A collection of links, which are references from this span to a span in the same or different trace.
Fields | |
---|---|
link[] |
A collection of links. |
dropped_ |
The number of dropped links after the maximum size was enforced. If this value is 0, then no links were dropped. |
SpanKind
Type of span. Can be used to specify additional relationships between spans in addition to a parent/child relationship.
Enums | |
---|---|
SPAN_KIND_UNSPECIFIED |
Unspecified. Do NOT use as default. Implementations MAY assume SpanKind.INTERNAL to be default. |
INTERNAL |
Indicates that the span is used internally. Default value. |
SERVER |
Indicates that the span covers server-side handling of an RPC or other remote network request. |
CLIENT |
Indicates that the span covers the client-side wrapper around an RPC or other remote request. |
PRODUCER |
Indicates that the span describes producer sending a message to a broker. Unlike client and server, there is no direct critical path latency relationship between producer and consumer spans (e.g. publishing a message to a pubsub service). |
CONSUMER |
Indicates that the span describes consumer receiving a message from a broker. Unlike client and server, there is no direct critical path latency relationship between producer and consumer spans (e.g. receiving a message from a pubsub service subscription). |

---|---|
TYPE_UNSPECIFIED |
Unknown event type. |
SENT |
Indicates a sent message. |
RECEIVED |

time_ |
A collection of |
dropped_ |
The number of dropped annotations in all the included time events. If the value is 0, then no annotations were dropped. |

Fields | |
---|---|
stack_ |
Stack frames in this stack trace. A maximum of 128 frames are allowed. |

The hash ID is used to conserve network bandwidth for duplicate stack traces within a single trace. Often multiple spans will have identical stack traces. The first occurrence of a stack trace should contain both the Subsequent spans within the same request can refer to that stack trace by only setting |
StackFrame
Represents a single stack frame in a stack trace.

The line number in |
column_ |
The column number where the function call appears, if available. This is important in JavaScript because of its anonymous functions. |

StackFrames
A collection of stack frames, which can be truncated.
Fields | |

Fields | |
---|---|
value |
The shortened string. For example, if the original string is 500 bytes long and the limit of the string is 128 bytes, then Truncation always happens on a UTF8 character boundary. If there are multi-byte characters in the string, then the length of the shortened string might be less than the size limit. |
