An idiomatic C++ client library for the Cloud Trace API, a service to send application trace data to Cloud Trace for viewing. This library is used to interact with the Trace API directly. If you are looking to instrument your application for Cloud Trace, we recommend using OpenTelemetry or a similar framework.
While this library is GA, please note Google Cloud C++ client libraries do not follow Semantic Versioning.
QuickstartThe following shows the code that you'll run in the google/cloud/trace/quickstart/
directory, which should give you a taste of the Cloud Trace API C++ client library API.
#include "google/cloud/trace/v2/trace_client.h"
#include "google/cloud/project.h"
#include <google/protobuf/util/time_util.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <random>
#include <thread>
std::string RandomHexDigits(std::mt19937_64& gen, int count) {
auto const digits = std::string{"0123456789abcdef"};
std::string sample;
std::generate_n(std::back_inserter(sample), count, [&] {
auto n = digits.size() - 1;
return digits[std::uniform_int_distribution<std::size_t>(0, n)(gen)];
});
return sample;
}
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) try {
if (argc != 2) {
std::cerr << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " project-id\n";
return 1;
}
namespace trace = ::google::cloud::trace_v2;
namespace v2 = ::google::devtools::cloudtrace::v2;
using ::google::protobuf::util::TimeUtil;
auto client = trace::TraceServiceClient(trace::MakeTraceServiceConnection());
// Create a span ID using some random hex digits.
auto gen = std::mt19937_64(std::random_device{}());
v2::Span span;
auto span_id = RandomHexDigits(gen, 16);
span.set_name(std::string{"projects/"} + argv[1] + "/traces/" +
RandomHexDigits(gen, 32) + "/spans/" + span_id);
span.set_span_id(std::move(span_id));
*span.mutable_start_time() = (TimeUtil::GetCurrentTime)();
// Simulate a call using a small sleep
std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::milliseconds(2));
*span.mutable_end_time() = (TimeUtil::GetCurrentTime)();
auto response = client.CreateSpan(span);
if (!response) throw std::move(response).status();
std::cout << response->DebugString() << "\n";
return 0;
} catch (google::cloud::Status const& status) {
std::cerr << "google::cloud::Status thrown: " << status << "\n";
return 1;
}
Main classes
This library offers multiple *Client
classes, which are listed below. Each one of these classes exposes all the RPCs for a gRPC service
as member functions of the class. This library groups multiple gRPC services because they are part of the same product or are often used together. A typical example may be the administrative and data plane operations for a single product.
The library also has other classes that provide helpers, configuration parameters, and infrastructure to mock the *Client
classes when testing your application.
