Cloud Monitor:Report Python application data using OpenTelemetry

Download the required packages.

pip install opentelemetry-api
pip install opentelemetry-sdk
pip install opentelemetry-exporter-otlp

Create a Python demo application.

Create a main.py file and add the following content:

from opentelemetry import trace, baggage
from opentelemetry.exporter.otlp.proto.http.trace_exporter import OTLPSpanExporter as OTLPSpanHttpExporter
from opentelemetry.sdk.resources import DEPLOYMENT_ENVIRONMENT, HOST_NAME, Resource, SERVICE_NAME, SERVICE_VERSION
from opentelemetry.sdk.trace import TracerProvider
from opentelemetry.sdk.trace.export import BatchSpanProcessor

def inner_method():
    tracer = trace.get_tracer(__name__)
    with tracer.start_as_current_span("child_span") as child_span:
        print("hello world")

def outer_method():
    tracer = trace.get_tracer(__name__)
    with tracer.start_as_current_span("parent_span") as parent_span:
        inner_method()

# Initialize OpenTelemetry

    # Set the service name and hostname.
    resource = Resource(attributes={
        SERVICE_NAME: "<service name>",  # Application name.
        SERVICE_VERSION: "<service version>",  # Version number.
        DEPLOYMENT_ENVIRONMENT: "<environment>", # Deployment environment.
        HOST_NAME: "${hostName}", # Replace ${hostName} with the hostname.
        "acs.cms.workspace": "<workspace>"  # Replace <workspace> with your workspace name.
    })
    
    headers = {
        "x-arms-license-key": "<license-key>",  # Replace <license-key> with the endpoint information obtained in Step 1.
        "x-arms-project": "<arms-project>",  # Replace <arms-project> with the endpoint information obtained in Step 1.
        "x-cms-workspace": "<workspace>"  # Replace <workspace> with your workspace name.
    }
    
    # Report data over HTTP.
    span_processor = BatchSpanProcessor(OTLPSpanHttpExporter(
        endpoint="<endpoint>",  # Replace <endpoint> with the endpoint information obtained in Step 1.
        headers=headers
    ))
    
    trace_provider = TracerProvider(resource=resource, active_span_processor=span_processor)
    trace.set_tracer_provider(trace_provider)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    init_opentelemetry()
    outer_method()

Start the application.
