## Motivation Currently, the default `Compact` and `Full` formatters in `tracing-subscriber` will prefix log lines with a single space when timestamps are disabled. The space is emitted in order to pad the timestamp from the rest of the log line, but it shouldn't be emitted when timestamps are turned off. This should be fixed. ## Solution This branch fixes the issue by skipping `time::write` entirely when timestamps are disabled. This is done by tracking an additional boolean flag for disabling timestamps. Incidentally, this now means that span lifecycle timing can be enabled even if event timestamps are disabled, like this: ```rust use tracing_subscriber::fmt; let subscriber = fmt::subscriber() .without_time() .with_timer(SystemTime::now) .with_span_events(fmt::FmtSpan::FULL); ``` or similar. I also added a new test reproducing the issue, and did a little refactoring to try and clean up the timestamp formatting code a bit. Closes #1354
Tracing OpenTelemetry
Utilities for adding OpenTelemetry interoperability to tracing
.
Overview
tracing
is a framework for instrumenting Rust programs to collect
structured, event-based diagnostic information. This crate provides a layer
that connects spans from multiple systems into a trace and emits them to
OpenTelemetry-compatible distributed tracing systems for processing and
visualization.
The crate provides the following types:
OpenTelemetryLayer
adds OpenTelemetry context to alltracing
spans.OpenTelemetrySpanExt
allows OpenTelemetry parent trace information to be injected and extracted from atracing
span.
Compiler support: requires rustc
1.42+
Examples
Basic Usage
use opentelemetry::exporter::trace::stdout;
use tracing::{error, span};
use tracing_subscriber::layer::SubscriberExt;
use tracing_subscriber::Registry;
fn main() {
// Install a new OpenTelemetry trace pipeline
let (tracer, _uninstall) = stdout::new_pipeline().install();
// Create a tracing layer with the configured tracer
let telemetry = tracing_opentelemetry::layer().with_tracer(tracer);
// Use the tracing subscriber `Registry`, or any other subscriber
// that impls `LookupSpan`
let subscriber = Registry::default().with(telemetry);
// Trace executed code
tracing::subscriber::with_default(subscriber, || {
// Spans will be sent to the configured OpenTelemetry exporter
let root = span!(tracing::Level::TRACE, "app_start", work_units = 2);
let _enter = root.enter();
error!("This event will be logged in the root span.");
});
}
Visualization example
# Run a supported collector like jaeger in the background
$ docker run -d -p6831:6831/udp -p6832:6832/udp -p16686:16686 jaegertracing/all-in-one:latest
# Run example to produce spans (from parent examples directory)
$ cargo run --example opentelemetry
# View spans (see the image below)

Supported Rust Versions
Tracing is built against the latest stable release. The minimum supported version is 1.42. The current Tracing version is not guaranteed to build on Rust versions earlier than the minimum supported version.
Tracing follows the same compiler support policies as the rest of the Tokio project. The current stable Rust compiler and the three most recent minor versions before it will always be supported. For example, if the current stable compiler version is 1.45, the minimum supported version will not be increased past 1.42, three minor versions prior. Increasing the minimum supported compiler version is not considered a semver breaking change as long as doing so complies with this policy.
