OpenTelemetry Wordpress auto-instrumentation
============================================

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

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)
- WordPress installation
- OpenTelemetry [SDK Autoloading](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-php/blob/main/examples/autoload_sdk.php) configured

Overview
--------

[](#overview)

OpenTelemetry depends on composer, unlike Wordpress. This extension was developed against [johnpbloch/wordpress-core](https://github.com/johnpbloch/wordpress-core-installer), but it should also work with other installation methods.

An example in Docker of extending the official Wordpress image to enable auto-instrumentation:

### 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 Wordpress. 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 open-telemetry/opentelemetry-auto-wordpress
```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

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

```
OTEL_PHP_DISABLED_INSTRUMENTATIONS=wordpress
```
