OpenTelemetry HTTP Utilities

Warnings

• breaking The 'http.target' attribute has been split into 'url.path' and 'url.query' as part of the stabilization of HTTP Semantic Conventions. Ensure your instrumentation and observability tools are updated accordingly.
  Fix: Update your instrumentation and observability tools to handle the new attribute names 'url.path' and 'url.query'.
• deprecated The 'http.client_ip' attribute has been replaced with 'client.address' in the latest semantic conventions. Update your code to use 'client.address' for client IP information.
  Fix: Replace instances of 'http.client_ip' with 'client.address' in your codebase.

Install

• pip install opentelemetry-util-http Install opentelemetry-util-http

Imports

  Ensure correct import path to avoid ImportError.

Quickstart

A basic example of using OpenTelemetry's HTTPX instrumentation to monitor HTTP requests.

import os
from opentelemetry.instrumentation.httpx import HttpInstrumentation

# Initialize the HTTPX instrumentation
httpx_instrumentor = HttpInstrumentation()
httpx_instrumentor.enable()

# Your application code here
# For example, making an HTTP request using httpx
import httpx

client = httpx.Client()
response = client.get('http://example.com')
print(response.status_code)

# Disable the instrumentation when done
httpx_instrumentor.disable()
