Class TracingInterceptor

Namespace

Temporalio.Extensions.OpenTelemetry

Assembly

Temporalio.Extensions.OpenTelemetry.dll

Client and worker interceptor that will create and propagate diagnostic activities for clients, workflows, and activities. This can be instantiated and set as an interceptor on the client options and it will automatically apply to all uses including workers.

Remarks

This uses OpenTelemetry context propagation and Temporal headers to serialize the diagnostic activities across workers. Normal ActivitySource methods can be used for client and activity code. Workflows however are interruptible/resumable and therefore cannot support .NET activities (i.e. OpenTelemetry spans) that remain open across workers. Therefore, all uses of diagnostic activities inside workflows should only use TrackWorkflowDiagnosticActivity(ActivitySource, string, ActivityKind, IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<string, object?>>?, IEnumerable<ActivityLink>?, bool, bool, Action<Activity>?). See the project README for more information.
