The docker compose consists of:
The rideshare app generate traces and profiling data that should be available in Grafana.
Datasources for Pyroscope and Tempo are provisioned automatically.
The project can be run locally with the following commands:
# (optionally) pull latest pyroscope and grafana images:
docker pull grafana/pyroscope:latest
docker pull grafana/grafana:latest
# build and run the example
docker compose up --build
Navigate to the Explore page, select a trace and click on a span that has a linked profile:
By default, only the root span gets labeled (the first span created locally): such spans are marked with the link icon
and have the pyroscope.profile.id attribute set to the corresponding span ID.
Please note that presence of the attribute does not necessarily
indicate that the span has a profile: stack trace samples might not be collected, if the utilized CPU time is
less than the sample interval (10ms).
The rideshare demo application is instrumented with OpenTelemetry: OTel integration
In order to correlate trace spans with profiling data, the Tempo datasource should have the following configured:
While tags are optional, configuring them is highly recommended for optimizing query performance.
In our example, we configured the service.name tag for use in Pyroscope queries as the service_name label.
This configuration restricts the data set for lookup, ensuring that queries remain
consistently fast. Note that the tags you configure must be present in the span attributes or resources
for a trace to profiles span link to appear.
Please refer to our documentation for more details.
