pub struct Span { }
Expand description
A handle representing a span, with the capability to enter the span if it exists.
If the span was rejected by the current Subscriber
’s filter, entering the span will silently do nothing. Thus, the handle can be used in the same manner regardless of whether or not the trace is currently being collected.
Constructs a new Span
with the given metadata and set of field values.
The new span will be constructed by the currently-active Subscriber
, with the current span as its parent (if one exists).
After the span is constructed, field values and/or follows_from
annotations may be added to it.
Constructs a new disabled span with the given Metadata
.
This should be used when a span is constructed from a known callsite, but the subscriber indicates that it is disabled.
Entering, exiting, and recording values on this span will not notify the Subscriber
but may record log messages if the log
feature flag is enabled.
Constructs a new span that is completely disabled.
This can be used rather than Option<Span>
to represent cases where a span is not present.
Entering, exiting, and recording values on this span will do nothing.
SourceReturns a handle to the span considered by the Subscriber
to be the current span.
If the subscriber indicates that it does not track the current span, or that the thread from which this function is called is not currently inside a span, the returned span will be disabled.
SourceEnters this span, returning a guard that will exit the span when dropped.
If this span is enabled by the current subscriber, then this function will call Subscriber::enter
with the span’s Id
, and dropping the guard will call Subscriber::exit
. If the span is disabled, this does nothing.
Warning: in asynchronous code that uses async/await syntax, Span::enter
should be used very carefully or avoided entirely. Holding the drop guard returned by Span::enter
across .await
points will result in incorrect traces. For example,
async fn my_async_function() {
let span = info_span!("my_async_function");
let _enter = span.enter();
some_other_async_function().await
}
The drop guard returned by Span::enter
exits the span when it is dropped. When an async function or async block yields at an .await
point, the current scope is exited, but values in that scope are not dropped (because the async block will eventually resume execution from that await point). This means that another task will begin executing while remaining in the entered span. This results in an incorrect trace.
Instead of using Span::enter
in asynchronous code, prefer the following:
To enter a span for a synchronous section of code within an async block or function, prefer Span::in_scope
. Since in_scope
takes a synchronous closure and exits the span when the closure returns, the span will always be exited before the next await point. For example:
async fn my_async_function() {
let span = info_span!("my_async_function");
let some_value = span.in_scope(|| {
});
some_other_async_function(some_value).await;
}
For instrumenting asynchronous code, tracing
provides the Future::instrument
combinator for attaching a span to a future (async function or block). This will enter the span every time the future is polled, and exit it whenever the future yields.
Instrument
can be used with an async block inside an async function:
use tracing::Instrument;
async fn my_async_function() {
let span = info_span!("my_async_function");
async move {
some_other_async_function().await;
}
.instrument(span)
.await
}
It can also be used to instrument calls to async functions at the callsite:
ⓘuse tracing::Instrument;
async fn my_async_function() {
let some_value = some_other_async_function()
.instrument(debug_span!("some_other_async_function"))
.await;
}
The #[instrument]
attribute macro can automatically generate correct code when used on an async function:
#[tracing::instrument(level = "info")]
async fn my_async_function() {
some_other_async_function().await;
}
let span = span!(Level::INFO, "my_span");
let guard = span.enter();
drop(guard);
Guards need not be explicitly dropped:
fn my_function() -> String {
let span = trace_span!("my_function");
let _enter = span.enter();
my_other_function();
return "Hello world".to_owned();
}
fn my_other_function() {
}
Sub-scopes may be created to limit the duration for which the span is entered:
let span = info_span!("my_great_span");
{
let _enter = span.enter();
info!("i'm in the span!");
}
info!("i'm outside the span!")
Source
Enters this span, consuming it and returning a guard that will exit the span when dropped.
Warning: In asynchronous code that uses async/await syntax,Span::entered
may produce incorrect traces if the returned drop guard is held across an await point. See theSpan::enter
documentation for details.
If this span is enabled by the current subscriber, then this function will call Subscriber::enter
with the span’s Id
, and dropping the guard will call Subscriber::exit
. If the span is disabled, this does nothing.
This is similar to the Span::enter
method, except that it moves the span by value into the returned guard, rather than borrowing it. Therefore, this method can be used to create and enter a span in a single expression, without requiring a let
-binding. For example:
let _span = info_span!("something_interesting").entered();
rather than:
let span = info_span!("something_interesting");
let _e = span.enter();
Furthermore, entered
may be used when the span must be stored in some other struct or be passed to a function while remaining entered.
Note: The returned§ExamplesEnteredSpan
guard does not implementSend
. Dropping the guard will exit this span, and if the guard is sent to another thread and dropped there, that thread may never have entered this span. Thus,EnteredSpan
s should not be sent between threads.
The returned guard can be explicitly exited, returning the un-entered span:
let span = span!(Level::INFO, "doing_something").entered();
let span = span.exit();
let span = span.entered();
Guards need not be explicitly dropped:
fn my_function() -> String {
let span = trace_span!("my_function").entered();
my_other_function();
return "Hello world".to_owned();
}
fn my_other_function() {
}
Since the EnteredSpan
guard can dereference to the Span
itself, the span may still be accessed while entered. For example:
use tracing::field;
let span = info_span!("my_span", some_field = field::Empty).entered();
span.record("some_field", &"hello world!");
Source
Returns this span, if it was enabled by the current Subscriber
, or the current span (whose lexical distance may be further than expected), if this span is disabled.
This method can be useful when propagating spans to spawned threads or async tasks. Consider the following:
let _parent_span = tracing::info_span!("parent").entered();
let child_span = tracing::debug_span!("child");
std::thread::spawn(move || {
let _entered = child_span.entered();
tracing::info!("spawned a thread!");
});
If the current Subscriber
enables the DEBUG
level, then both the “parent” and “child” spans will be enabled. Thus, when the “spawaned a thread!” event occurs, it will be inside of the “child” span. Because “parent” is the parent of “child”, the event will also be inside of “parent”.
However, if the Subscriber
only enables the INFO
level, the “child” span will be disabled. When the thread is spawned, the child_span.entered()
call will do nothing, since “child” is not enabled. In this case, the “spawned a thread!” event occurs outside of any span, since the “child” span was responsible for propagating its parent to the spawned thread.
If this is not the desired behavior, Span::or_current
can be used to ensure that the “parent” span is propagated in both cases, either as a parent of “child” or directly. For example:
let _parent_span = tracing::info_span!("parent").entered();
let child_span = tracing::debug_span!("child").or_current();
std::thread::spawn(move || {
let _entered = child_span.entered();
tracing::info!("spawned a thread!");
});
When spawning asynchronous tasks, Span::or_current
can be used similarly, in combination with instrument
:
use tracing::Instrument;
let _parent_span = tracing::info_span!("parent").entered();
let child_span = tracing::debug_span!("child");
tokio::spawn(
async {
tracing::info!("spawned a task!");
}.instrument(child_span.or_current())
);
In general, or_current
should be preferred over nesting an instrument
call inside of an in_current_span
call, as using or_current
will be more efficient.
use tracing::Instrument;
async fn my_async_fn() {
}
let _parent_span = tracing::info_span!("parent").entered();
tokio::spawn(
my_async_fn().instrument(tracing::debug_span!("child").or_current())
);
tokio::spawn(
my_async_fn()
.instrument(tracing::debug_span!("child"))
.in_current_span()
);
Source
Executes the given function in the context of this span.
If this span is enabled, then this function enters the span, invokes f
and then exits the span. If the span is disabled, f
will still be invoked, but in the context of the currently-executing span (if there is one).
Returns the result of evaluating f
.
let my_span = span!(Level::TRACE, "my_span");
my_span.in_scope(|| {
trace!("i'm in the span!");
});
trace!("i'm not in the span!");
Calling a function and returning the result:
fn hello_world() -> String {
"Hello world!".to_owned()
}
let span = info_span!("hello_world");
let a_string = span.in_scope(hello_world);
Source
Returns a Field
for the field with the given name
, if one exists,
Returns true if this Span
has a field for the given Field
or field name.
Records that the field described by field
has the value value
.
This may be used with field::Empty
to declare fields whose values are not known when the span is created, and record them later:
use tracing::{trace_span, field};
let span = trace_span!("my_span", greeting = "hello world", parting = field::Empty);
span.record("parting", "goodbye world!");
However, it may also be used to record a new value for a field whose value was already recorded:
use tracing::info_span;
let span = info_span!("doing_something", is_okay = true);
let _e = span.enter();
match do_something() {
Ok(something) => {
}
Err(_) => {
span.record("is_okay", false);
}
}
Note: The fields associated with a span are part of itsMetadata
. TheMetadata
describing a particular span is constructed statically when the span is created and cannot be extended later to add new fields. Therefore, you cannot record a value for a field that was not specified when the span was created:
use tracing::{trace_span, field};
let span = trace_span!("my_span", greeting = "hello world", parting = field::Empty);
span.record("new_field", "interesting_value_you_really_need");
span.record("parting", "you will be remembered");
Source
Records all the fields in the provided ValueSet
.
Returns true
if this span was disabled by the subscriber and does not exist.
See also is_none
.
Returns true
if this span was constructed by Span::none
and is empty.
If is_none
returns true
for a given span, then is_disabled
will also return true
. However, when a span is disabled by the subscriber rather than constructed by Span::none
, this method will return false
, while is_disabled
will return true
.
Indicates that the span with the given ID has an indirect causal relationship with this span.
This relationship differs somewhat from the parent-child relationship: a span may have any number of prior spans, rather than a single one; and spans are not considered to be executing inside of the spans they follow from. This means that a span may close even if subsequent spans that follow from it are still open, and time spent inside of a subsequent span should not be included in the time its precedents were executing. This is used to model causal relationships such as when a single future spawns several related background tasks, et cetera.
If this span is disabled, or the resulting follows-from relationship would be invalid, this function will do nothing.
§ExamplesSetting a follows_from
relationship with a Span
:
let span1 = span!(Level::INFO, "span_1");
let span2 = span!(Level::DEBUG, "span_2");
span2.follows_from(span1);
Setting a follows_from
relationship with the current span:
let span = span!(Level::INFO, "hello!");
span.follows_from(Span::current());
Setting a follows_from
relationship with a Span
reference:
let span = span!(Level::INFO, "hello!");
let curr = Span::current();
span.follows_from(&curr);
Setting a follows_from
relationship with an Id
:
let span = span!(Level::INFO, "hello!");
let id = span.id();
span.follows_from(id);
Source
Returns this span’s Id
, if it is enabled.
Returns this span’s Metadata
, if it is enabled.
Invokes a function with a reference to this span’s ID and subscriber.
if this span is enabled, the provided function is called, and the result is returned. If the span is disabled, the function is not called, and this method returns None
instead.
