OpenTelemetry Celery Instrumentation

Project description

pypi

Instrumentation for Celery.

Installation

pip install opentelemetry-instrumentation-celery

Usage

  • Start broker backend

::

docker run -p 5672:5672 rabbitmq

  • Run instrumented task

from opentelemetry import trace
from opentelemetry.sdk.trace import TracerProvider
from opentelemetry.sdk.trace.export import BatchExportSpanProcessor
from opentelemetry.instrumentation.celery import CeleryInstrumentor

from celery import Celery
from celery.signals import worker_process_init

@worker_process_init.connect(weak=False)
def init_celery_tracing(*args, **kwargs):
    trace.set_tracer_provider(TracerProvider())
    span_processor = BatchExportSpanProcessor(ConsoleSpanExporter())
    trace.get_tracer_provider().add_span_processor(span_processor)
    CeleryInstrumentor().instrument()

app = Celery("tasks", broker="amqp://localhost")

@app.task
def add(x, y):
    return x + y

add.delay(42, 50)

Setting up tracing

When tracing a celery worker process, tracing and instrumention both must be initialized after the celery worker process is initialized. This is required for any tracing components that might use threading to work correctly such as the BatchExportSpanProcessor. Celery provides a signal called worker_process_init that can be used to accomplish this as shown in the example above.
