OpenTelemetry urllib Instrumentation
====================================
|pypi|
.. |pypi| image:: https://badge.fury.io/py/opentelemetry-instrumentation-urllib.svg
:target: https://pypi.org/project/opentelemetry-instrumentation-urllib/
This library allows tracing HTTP requests made by the
`urllib <https://docs.python.org/3/library/urllib.html>`_ library.
Installation
------------
::
pip install opentelemetry-instrumentation-urllib
Configuration
-------------
Request/Response hooks
**********************
The urllib instrumentation supports extending tracing behavior with the help of
request and response hooks. These are functions that are called back by the instrumentation
right after a Span is created for a request and right before the span is finished processing a response respectively.
The hooks can be configured as follows:
.. code:: python
from opentelemetry.instrumentation.urllib import URLLibInstrumentor
# `request_obj` is an instance of urllib.request.Request
def request_hook(span, request_obj):
pass
# `request_obj` is an instance of urllib.request.Request
# `response` is an instance of http.client.HTTPResponse
def response_hook(span, request_obj, response)
pass
URLLibInstrumentor().instrument(
request_hook=request_hook, response_hook=response_hook
)
Exclude lists
*************
To exclude certain URLs from being tracked, set the environment variable ``OTEL_PYTHON_URLLIB_EXCLUDED_URLS``
(or ``OTEL_PYTHON_EXCLUDED_URLS`` as fallback) with comma delimited regexes representing which URLs to exclude.
For example,
::
export OTEL_PYTHON_URLLIB_EXCLUDED_URLS="client/.*/info,healthcheck"
will exclude requests such as ``https://site/client/123/info`` and ``https://site/xyz/healthcheck``.
