# tracing-newrelic

New Relic integration for tracing

## Overview

This crate provides a layer for collecting trace data from [`tracing`] and sending them to [New Relic].

`tracing::Span` will be tried as Trace Span, and `tracing::Event` as Logs.

`tracing::Attribute` and `tracing::Metadata` wil be tried as Custom Attributes.

[`tracing`]: https://github.com/tokio-rs/tracing
[New Relic]: https://newrelic.com

## Examples

```rust
use std::thread::sleep;
use std::time::Duration;

use tracing_subscriber::{layer::SubscriberExt, Registry};

#[tracing::instrument(name = "fibonacci()")]
fn fibonacci(n: u32) -> u32 {
let ms = 100 * n as u64;

tracing::info!(n = n, "sleep {}ms", ms);

sleep(Duration::from_millis(ms));

match n {
0 | 1 => 1,
_ => fibonacci(n - 1) + fibonacci(n - 2),
}
}

fn main() {
env_logger::init();

let newrelic = tracing_newrelic::layer("YOUR-API-KEY");

let fmt = tracing_subscriber::fmt::layer();

let subscriber = Registry::default().with(newrelic).with(fmt);

tracing::subscriber::with_default(subscriber, || {
let span = tracing::info_span!(
"calculating fibonacci(3)",
service.name = "tracing-newrelic-demo"
);

let _enter = span.enter();

fibonacci(3);
});
}
```

1. Replace `YOUR-API-KEY` above with your api key and run it.

2. Open [New Relic One], navigate to `Entity explorer` and search for `tracing-newrelic-demo`.

3. You should see a entry span named `calculating fibonacci(3)` and click it for more details:

4. Click `See logs` to view all events inside this span:

[New Relic One]: http://one.newrelic.com

And I strongly recommend include these attributes in your spans:

1. `span.kind`

New Relic creates throught and response time dashboards for spans with `span.kind` set to `server` and `consumer`.

newrelic throughtput-reponse-time

2. `otel.status_code` & `otel.status_description`

New Relic creates error rate dashboard for spans with `otel.status_code` set to `ERROR`.

3. `service.name`

New Relic group entity by their `service.name` field.

newrelic services

4. `name`

New Relic group trnsations by their `name` field.
