Usage

Initializing server instrumentation

Initialize instrumentation by installing the KtorServerTracing feature. You must set the OpenTelemetry to use with the feature.

val openTelemetry: OpenTelemetry = ...

embeddedServer(Netty, 8080) {
  install(KtorServerTracing) {
    setOpenTelemetry(openTelemetry)
  }
}

Initializing client instrumentation

Initialize instrumentation by installing the KtorClientTracing feature. You must set the OpenTelemetry to use with the feature.

val openTelemetry: OpenTelemetry = ...

val client = HttpClient {
  install(KtorClientTracing) {
    setOpenTelemetry(openTelemetry)
  }
}
