OpenCensus Exporter

This example shows how to use the OpenCensus Exporter to export traces to the OpenTelemetry collector.

The source files of this example are available :scm_web:here <docs/examples/opencensus-exporter-tracer/>.

Installation

.. code-block:: sh

pip install opentelemetry-api
pip install opentelemetry-sdk
pip install opentelemetry-exporter-opencensus

Run the Example

Before running the example, it's necessary to run the OpenTelemetry collector and Jaeger. The :scm_web:docker <docs/examples/opencensus-exporter-tracer/docker/> folder contains a docker-compose template with the configuration of those services.

.. code-block:: sh

pip install docker-compose
cd docker
docker-compose up

Now, the example can be executed:

.. code-block:: sh

python collector.py

The traces are available in the Jaeger UI at http://localhost:16686/.
