# OpenTelemetry Emitter The [OpenTelemetry](https://opentelemetry.io/) emitter generates OpenTelemetry Spans for queries. ## How OpenTelemetry emitter works The [OpenTelemetry](https://opentelemetry.io/) emitter processes `ServiceMetricEvent` events for the `query/time` metric. It extracts OpenTelemetry context from the [query context](https://druid.apache.org/docs/latest/querying/query-context.html). To link druid spans to parent traces, the query context should contain at least `traceparent` key. See [context propagation](https://www.w3.org/TR/trace-context/) for more information. If no `traceparent` key is provided, then spans are created without `parentTraceId` and are not linked to the parent span. In addition, the emitter also adds other druid context entries to the span attributes. ## Configuration ### Enabling To enable the OpenTelemetry emitter, add the extension and enable the emitter in `common.runtime.properties`. Load the plugin: ```properties druid.extensions.loadList=[..., "opentelemetry-emitter"] ``` Then there are 2 options: * You want to use only `opentelemetry-emitter` ```properties druid.emitter=opentelemetry ``` * You want to use `opentelemetry-emitter` with other emitters ```properties druid.emitter=composing druid.emitter.composing.emitters=[..., "opentelemetry"] ``` _*More about Druid configuration [here](https://druid.apache.org/docs/latest/configuration/index.html)._ ## Testing ### Part 1: Run zipkin and otel-collector Create `docker-compose.yaml` in your working dir: ```yaml version: "2" services: zipkin-all-in-one: image: openzipkin/zipkin:latest ports: - "9411:9411" otel-collector: image: otel/opentelemetry-collector:latest command: ["--config=otel-local-config.yaml", "${OTELCOL_ARGS}"] volumes: - ${PWD}/config.yaml:/otel-local-config.yaml ports: - "4317:4317" ``` Create `config.yaml` file with configuration for otel-collector: ```yaml version: "2" receivers: receivers: otlp: protocols: grpc: exporters: zipkin: endpoint: "http://zipkin-all-in-one:9411/api/v2/spans" format: proto logging: processors: batch: service: pipelines: traces: receivers: [otlp] processors: [batch] exporters: [logging, zipkin] ``` *_How to configure otel-collector you can read [here](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/collector/configuration/)._ Run otel-collector and zipkin. ```bash docker compose up ``` ### Part 2: Run Druid Build Druid: ```bash mvn clean install -Pdist tar -C /tmp -xf distribution/target/apache-druid-0.21.0-bin.tar.gz cd /tmp/apache-druid-0.21.0 ``` Edit `conf/druid/single-server/micro-quickstart/_common/common.runtime.properties` to enable the emitter ( see `Configuration` section above). Start the quickstart with the apppropriate environment variables for opentelemetry autoconfiguration: ``` OTEL_SERVICE_NAME="org.apache.druid" OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT="http://localhost:4317" bin/start-micro-quickstart ``` *_More about opentelemetry autoconfiguration [here](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java/tree/main/sdk-extensions/autoconfigure)_ Load sample data - [example](https://druid.apache.org/docs/latest/tutorials/index.html#step-4-load-data). ### Part 3: Send queries Create `query.json`: ```json { "query":"SELECT COUNT(*) as total FROM wiki WHERE countryName IS NOT NULL", "context":{ "traceparent":"00-54ef39243e3feb12072e0f8a74c1d55a-ad6d5b581d7c29c1-01" } } ``` Send query: ```bash curl -XPOST -H'Content-Type: application/json' http://localhost:8888/druid/v2/sql/ -d @query.json ``` Then open `http://localhost:9411/zipkin/` and you can see there your spans.
