This exporter provides OpenCensus trace and stats support to push metrics, histograms and traces into Wavefront.
It builds on the Wavefront Go SDK.
-
Import the SDK and Exporter packages.
import ( "github.com/wavefronthq/wavefront-sdk-go/senders" "github.com/wavefronthq/opencensus-exporter/wavefront" "go.opencensus.io/stats/view" "go.opencensus.io/trace" )
-
Initialize the Sender and Exporter.
sender, _ := senders.NewProxySender(senders.ProxyConfiguration{/*...*/}) exporter, _ = wavefront.NewExporter(sender, /*options...*/) defer func() { // Flush before application exits exporter.Stop() sender.Close() }()
The exporter supports functional options. See Exporter Options
-
Register the exporter
trace.RegisterExporter(exporter) // for exporting traces view.RegisterExporter(exporter) // for exporting metrics
