Library Instrumentation for Spring Webflux version 5.0 and higher

Provides OpenTelemetry instrumentation for Spring's WebClient.

Quickstart

Add these dependencies to your project

Replace SPRING_VERSION with the version of spring you're using. Minimum version: 5.0

Replace OPENTELEMETRY_VERSION with the latest release.

For Maven, add to your pom.xml dependencies:

<dependencies>
  <!-- opentelemetry instrumentation -->
  <dependency>
    <groupId>io.opentelemetry.instrumentation</groupId>
    <artifactId>opentelemetry-spring-webflux-5.0</artifactId>
    <version>OPENTELEMETRY_VERSION</version>
  </dependency>

   <!-- opentelemetry exporter -->
   <!-- replace this default exporter with your opentelemetry exporter (ex. otlp/zipkin/jaeger/..) -->
   <dependency>
    <groupId>io.opentelemetry</groupId>
    <artifactId>opentelemetry-exporter-logging</artifactId>
    <version>OPENTELEMETRY_VERSION</version>
  </dependency>

  <!-- required to instrument spring-webflux -->
  <!-- this artifact should already be present in your application -->
  <dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-webflux</artifactId>
    <version>SPRING_VERSION</version>
  </dependency>

</dependencies>

For Gradle, add to your dependencies:

// opentelemetry instrumentation
implementation("io.opentelemetry.instrumentation:opentelemetry-spring-webflux-5.0:OPENTELEMETRY_VERSION")

// opentelemetry exporter
// replace this default exporter with your opentelemetry exporter (ex. otlp/zipkin/jaeger/..)
implementation("io.opentelemetry:opentelemetry-exporter-logging:OPENTELEMETRY_VERSION")

// required to instrument spring-webmvc
// this artifact should already be present in your application
implementation("org.springframework:spring-webflux:SPRING_VERSION")

Features

SpringWebfluxTracing

SpringWebfluxTracing emits client span for each request sent using WebClient by implementing the ExchangeFilterFunction interface. An example is shown below:

Usage

import io.opentelemetry.api.OpenTelemetry;
import io.opentelemetry.instrumentation.spring.webflux.client.SpringWebfluxTracing;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.web.reactive.function.client.WebClient;

@Configuration
public class WebClientConfig {

   @Bean
   public WebClient.Builder webClient(OpenTelemetry openTelemetry) {

      WebClient webClient = WebClient.create();
      SpringWebfluxTracing instrumentation = SpringWebfluxTracing.create(openTelemetry);

      return webClient.mutate().filters(instrumentation::addClientTracingFilter);
   }
}
