Get trace and span IDs from your Go application code - Cloud Monitor

Applications that use the Go agent to connect to Application Monitoring can use the OpenTelemetry software development kit (SDK) to retrieve the trace ID and span ID from their code.

Procedure

In the agent settings for your application, enable the OpenTelemetry switch.

Add the code block.

package main

import (
    "context"
    "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace"
 )
 
 func GetTraceIdAndSpanId() (string, string) {
      span := trace.SpanFromContext(context.Background())
      return span.SpanContext().TraceID().String(),
     span.SpanContext().SpanID().String()
 }
