Opentelemetry with Frappe framework?

Frappe Framework
1

Hello everyone, I’m new here. I’m curious if anyone here uses OpenTelemetry with the Frappe framework. Are there any documents demonstrating how to use it with frappe ? Or is it better to use other tools instead of OpenTelemetry for tracing ?

Hello anyone here in this forum ?

Hi @deawkotic:

Be patient, there are hundred of users using the forum daily …
I think that Posthog and Sentry are being used for this now.

Hope this helps.

@avc Thank you very much for the response, but this doesn’t help me much. I want something like this article for tracing my erpnext.

Create a custom app, add python libraries setup using opentelemetry-bootstrap -a install (Automatic Instrumentation | OpenTelemetry) to the custom app’s pyproject.toml so they get installed when you install app.

Add app.py with following content at the level of hooks.py of custom app:

from frappe.app import application
from opentelemetry.instrumentation.wsgi import OpenTelemetryMiddleware

application = OpenTelemetryMiddleware(application)

Use following command to start gunicorn instead of regular gunicorn command.

/home/frappe/frappe-bench/env/bin/opentelemetry-instrument \
/home/frappe/frappe-bench/env/bin/gunicorn \
      --chdir=/home/frappe/frappe-bench/sites \
      --bind=0.0.0.0:8000 \
      --threads=4 \
      --workers=2 \
      --log-level=debug \
      --worker-class=gthread \
      --worker-tmp-dir=/dev/shm \
      --timeout=120 \
      --preload \
      custom_app.app:application

Note: replace custom_app with your app name.

For python rq and opentelemetry follow OpenTelemetry tracing · Issue #1999 · rq/rq · GitHub

If you can use sentry then just set FRAPPE_SENTRY_DSN, ENABLE_SENTRY_DB_MONITORING, SENTRY_TRACING_SAMPLE_RATE environment variables and start using sentry.

This is great info. Thank you. Quick question. How can I add env variables in Dockerfile? I’d like to separate staging with production so I want it to be dynamic.

I’m trying to use Infisical. I’ve had success setting it up, but not so much when separating environments. I have to rebuild docker image for production.

Thank you in Advance.

You can pass env variables to container when it starts

I already do that with some env and for some reason I did not think of this. Thank you!
