The OpenTelemetry documentation provides guidance on how to migrate to OpenTelemetry: Installation ============ [](#installation) API + SDK --------- [](#api--sdk) This package depends on the OpenTelemetry API, but an [OpenTelemetry SDK](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/instrumentation/php/sdk/)and an exporter should also be provided to enable exporting spans. You usually need to supply a PSR-7 and PSR-18 implementation, since most exporters use HTTP to transport telemetry data (gRPC is the exception). OTLP Exporter ------------- [](#otlp-exporter) Usually logs are exported to some receiver via the `otlp` protocol in the `protobuf` format, via http or `gRPC`. This requires: - a `protobuf` implementation; either the protobuf extension or the `google/protobuf` package - the `open-telemetry/exporter-otlp` package - the `open-telemetry/transport-grpc` package, if using gRPC transport - a PSR-7 and PSR-18 implementation, if using HTTP transport Zipkin exporter --------------- [](#zipkin-exporter) OpenTelemetry supports exporting via the zipkin protocol, which requires the `open-telemetry/exporter-zipkin` package. Traces can be exported to a zipkin instance directly, or to any other service which supports the zipkin protocol. Setup ===== [](#setup) To use this package, you need to create an OpenTelemetry `tracer provider`, which is the only parameter used by the shim tracer: ``` $tracerProvider = new OpenTelemetry\SDK\Trace\TracerProvider(/*params*/); OpenTelemetry\SDK\Common\Util\ShutdownHandler::register([$tracerProvider, 'shutdown']); $tracer = new OpenTelemetry\Contrib\Shim\OpenTracing\Tracer($tracerProvider); ``` There are a number of ways to set up a tracer provider, please see the [official documentation](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/instrumentation/php/sdk/)or the [examples](./examples). Notes ===== [](#notes) - OpenTelemetry does not support setting span kind after span creation, so adding a `span.kind` tag will not set the span's kind. An attribute will still be emitted, though. - `Span::log([/*$fields*/])` will use an `event` field as the log name, otherwise `log`. - errors may be logged via `Span::log`, using the key `exception`. A `Throwable` should be the field's value, but a string is allowable and will be converted to an exception ### Health Score 38 — LowBetter than 85% of packages Maintenance90 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity7 Limited adoption so far Community16 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity37 Early-stage or recently created project Bus Factor4 4 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
