Trace

This package provides an interface for recording the latency of operations and logging details about all operations where the latency exceeds a limit.

Usage

To create a trace:

func doSomething() {
    opTrace := trace.New("operation", Field{Key: "fieldKey1", Value: "fieldValue1"})
    defer opTrace.LogIfLong(100 * time.Millisecond)
    // do something
}

To split an trace into multiple steps:

func doSomething() {
    opTrace := trace.New("operation")
    defer opTrace.LogIfLong(100 * time.Millisecond)
    // do step 1
    opTrace.Step("step1", Field{Key: "stepFieldKey1", Value: "stepFieldValue1"})
    // do step 2
    opTrace.Step("step2")
}

To nest traces:

func doSomething() {
    rootTrace := trace.New("rootOperation")
    defer rootTrace.LogIfLong(100 * time.Millisecond)
    
    func() {
        nestedTrace := rootTrace.Nest("nested", Field{Key: "nestedFieldKey1", Value: "nestedFieldValue1"})
        defer nestedTrace.LogIfLong(50 * time.Millisecond)
        // do nested operation
    }()
}

Traces can also be logged unconditionally or introspected:

opTrace.TotalTime() // Duration since the Trace was created
opTrace.Log() // unconditionally log the trace

Using context.Context to nest traces

context.Context can be used to manage nested traces. Create traces by calling trace.GetTraceFromContext(ctx).Nest. This is safe even if there is no parent trace already in the context because (*(Trace)nil).Nest() returns a top level trace.

func doSomething(ctx context.Context) {
    opTrace := trace.FromContext(ctx).Nest("operation") // create a trace, possibly nested
    ctx = trace.ContextWithTrace(ctx, opTrace) // make this trace the parent trace of the context
    defer opTrace.LogIfLong(50 * time.Millisecond)
    
    doSomethingElse(ctx)
}
