# OpenTelemetry Wordpress auto-instrumentation

Please read https://opentelemetry.io/docs/instrumentation/php/automatic/ for instructions on how to

install and configure the extension and SDK.

## Requirements

* OpenTelemetry extension

* OpenTelemetry SDK + exporter (required to actually export traces)

* WordPress installation

* OpenTelemetry [SDK Autoloading](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-php/blob/main/examples/autoload_sdk.php) configured

## Overview

OpenTelemetry depends on composer, unlike Wordpress. This extension was developed against

[johnpbloch/wordpress-core](https://github.com/johnpbloch/wordpress-core-installer),

but it should also work with other installation methods.

An example in Docker of extending the official Wordpress image to enable

auto-instrumentation: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-php-contrib/tree/main/examples/instrumentation/Wordpress

### apache

Configure (eg via `.htaccess`) a PHP prepend file to initialize composer:

```

php_value auto_prepend_file /var/www/vendor/autoload.php

```

This will install the composer autoloader before running Wordpress. As part of composer autoloading,

scripts are executed for installed modules, importantly:

* OpenTelemetry SDK Autoloader

* this library's `_register.php` file

## Installation via composer

```bash

$ composer require open-telemetry/opentelemetry-auto-wordpress

```

## Configuration

The extension can be disabled via [runtime configuration](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/instrumentation/php/sdk/#configuration):

```shell

OTEL_PHP_DISABLED_INSTRUMENTATIONS=wordpress

```
