OpenCensus Tracing and Metrics for Twirp in Go

octwirp provides server hooks for twirp servers for metrics and tracing.

octwirp also provides an http roundtripper for twirp clients for metrics and tracing.

Usage

To install locally, go get -u github.com/bakins/octwirp or use a Go dependency manager to install.

Server

To enable tracing and metrics for twirp servers:

import (
    "net/http"

    "github.com/twitchtv/twirp/example"
    "github.com/bakins/octwirp"
    "go.opencensus.io/stats/view"
    "go.opencensus.io/plugin/ochttp"
)

func main() {
    if err := view.Register(octwirp.ServerLatencyView, octwirp.ServerResponseView); err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("failed to register metrics views: %v", err)
    }
    
    t := &octwirp.Tracer{}
    server := example.NewHaberdasherServer(&randomHaberdasher{}, t.ServerHooks())
    handler := t.WrapHandler(server)
    http.Handle(server.PathPrefix(), handler)
	log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServe("127.0.0.1:8080", nil))
}

You also need to register Opencensus exporters for metrics and tracing.

For a more complete server example, see ./examples/server/main.go

Client

To enable metrics and tracing for a twirp client:

import (
    "net/http"

    "github.com/bakins/octwirp"
    "go.opencensus.io/stats/view"
    "github.com/twitchtv/twirp/example"
)

// see https://godoc.org/go.opencensus.io/plugin/ochttp
t := ochttp.Transport{}

c := http.Client{
		Transport: octwirp.WrapTransport(&t),
    }
    
client := example.NewHaberdasherProtobufClient("http://localhost:8080", &c)

For a more complete client example, see ./examples/client/main.go

Status

This project is under active development. I have only recently began using twirp, so I am sure there are better ways to do things.
