Introduction

The OpenCensus Service allows one to export traces to Wavefront.

Configuration

Wavefront exporter supports sending data using Direct Ingestion (direct_ingestion) or via Wavefront Proxy (proxy).

In the Service’s YAML configuration file, under section “exporters” and sub-section “wavefront”, please configure these fields.

Format

exporters:
  wavefront:
    enable_traces: true|false

    # One of "proxy" or "direct_ingestion" is required
    proxy:
      Host: "<Proxy_IP_or_FQDN>"
      MetricsPort: wf_metrics_port            # number
      TracingPort: wf_trace_port              # number
      DistributionPort: wf_distribution_port  # number
    direct_ingestion:
      Server: "<wavefront_url>"
      Token: "<wavefront_token>"

    # The following are optional
    override_source: "<source_name>"
    application_name: "<app_name>"
    service_name: "<service_name>"
    custom_tags:
      - "<key1>" : "<val1>"
      - "<key2>" : "<val2>"
      # ...
    max_queue_size: number
    verbose_logging: true|false

Proxy Example

exporters:
  wavefront:
    proxy:
      Host: "localhost"
      TracingPort: 30000
    enable_traces: true

Direct Ingestion Example

exporters:
  wavefront:
    direct_ingestion:
      Server: "https://<MYINSTANCE>.wavefront.com"
      Token: "MY_WAVEFRONT_TOKEN_HERE"
    enable_traces: true
