OpenTelemetry Joomla auto-instrumentation
=========================================

[](#opentelemetry-joomla-auto-instrumentation)

This plugin is inspired by  and focussed on Joomla

Please read  for instructions on how to install and configure the extension and SDK.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- OpenTelemetry extension
- OpenTelemetry SDK + exporter (required to actually export traces)
- Joomla installation
- OpenTelemetry [SDK Autoloading](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-php/blob/main/examples/autoload_sdk.php) configured

Overview
--------

[](#overview)

OpenTelemetry depends on composer. This extension was developed against Joomla docker

An example in Docker of extending the official Joomla image to enable auto-instrumentation: [example](example/)

### apache

[](#apache)

Configure (eg via `.htaccess`) a PHP prepend file to initialize composer:

```
php_value auto_prepend_file /var/www/vendor/autoload.php

```

This will install the composer autoloader before running Joomla. As part of composer autoloading, scripts are executed for installed modules, importantly:

- OpenTelemetry SDK Autoloader
- this library's `_register.php` file

Installation via composer
-------------------------

[](#installation-via-composer)

```
$ composer require cbos/opentelemetry-auto-joomla
```

-------------

[](#configuration)

The extension can be disabled via [runtime configuration](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/instrumentation/php/sdk/#configuration):

```
OTEL_PHP_DISABLED_INSTRUMENTATIONS=joomla
```
