HttpInstrumentation

✓ from opentelemetry.instrumentation.httpx import HttpInstrumentation

✗ from opentelemetry.instrumentation.httpx import HttpInstrumentation

A basic example of using OpenTelemetry's HTTPX instrumentation to monitor HTTP requests.

import os from opentelemetry.instrumentation.httpx import HttpInstrumentation # Initialize the HTTPX instrumentation httpx_instrumentor = HttpInstrumentation() httpx_instrumentor.enable() # Your application code here # For example, making an HTTP request using httpx import httpx client = httpx.Client() response = client.get('http://example.com') print(response.status_code) # Disable the instrumentation when done httpx_instrumentor.disable()

Debug

Known issues

breakingThe 'http.target' attribute has been split into 'url.path' and 'url.query' as part of the stabilization of HTTP Semantic Conventions. Ensure your instrumentation and observability tools are updated accordingly.

fix

Update your instrumentation and observability tools to handle the new attribute names 'url.path' and 'url.query'.

affects: >=0.61b0

deprecatedThe 'http.client_ip' attribute has been replaced with 'client.address' in the latest semantic conventions. Update your code to use 'client.address' for client IP information.

fix

Replace instances of 'http.client_ip' with 'client.address' in your codebase.

affects: >=0.61b0

breakingThe OpenTelemetry instrumentation module could not be found. This typically means the necessary OpenTelemetry packages (e.g., opentelemetry-api, opentelemetry-sdk, and specific instrumentation packages like opentelemetry-instrumentation-httpx) are not installed in the environment.

fix

Install the required OpenTelemetry packages using pip: `pip install opentelemetry-api opentelemetry-sdk opentelemetry-instrumentation-httpx`.

affects: >=0.61b0

gotchaThe 'opentelemetry.instrumentation' module was not found. This typically indicates that required OpenTelemetry packages, such as 'opentelemetry-sdk' or specific instrumentation packages like 'opentelemetry-instrumentation-httpx', are not installed in the environment.

fix

Ensure that the necessary OpenTelemetry packages are installed. For example, run 'pip install opentelemetry-sdk opentelemetry-instrumentation-httpx'.
