Integrations#

aioredis#

The aioredis integration instruments aioredis requests. Version 1.3 and above are fully supported.

Enabling#

The aioredis integration is enabled automatically when using ddtrace-run or patch_all().

Or use patch() to manually enable the integration:

from ddtrace import patch
patch(aioredis=True)

Global Configuration#

ddtrace.config.aioredis["service"]

The service name reported by default for aioredis instances.

This option can also be set with the DD_AIOREDIS_SERVICE environment variable.

Default: "redis"

ddtrace.config.aioredis["cmd_max_length"]

Max allowable size for the aioredis command span tag. Anything beyond the max length will be replaced with "...".

This option can also be set with the DD_AIOREDIS_CMD_MAX_LENGTH environment variable.

Default: 1000

Instance Configuration#

To configure the aioredis integration on a per-instance basis use the Pin API:

import aioredis
from ddtrace import Pin

myaioredis = aioredis.Aioredis()
Pin.override(myaioredis, service="myaioredis")

aiobotocore#

The aiobotocore integration will trace all AWS calls made with the aiobotocore library. This integration is not enabled by default.

Enabling#

The aiobotocore integration is not enabled by default. Use patch() to enable the integration:

from ddtrace import patch
patch(aiobotocore=True)

Configuration#

ddtrace.config.aiobotocore['tag_no_params']

This opts out of the default behavior of adding span tags for a narrow set of API parameters.

To not collect any API parameters, ddtrace.config.aiobotocore.tag_no_params = True or by setting the environment variable DD_AWS_TAG_NO_PARAMS=true.

Default: False

aiopg#

Instrument aiopg to report a span for each executed Postgres queries:

from ddtrace import Pin, patch
import aiopg

# If not patched yet, you can patch aiopg specifically
patch(aiopg=True)

# This will report a span with the default settings
async with aiopg.connect(DSN) as db:
    with (await db.cursor()) as cursor:
        await cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = 1")

# Use a pin to specify metadata related to this connection
Pin.override(db, service='postgres-users')

algoliasearch#

The Algoliasearch integration will add tracing to your Algolia searches.

from ddtrace import patch_all
patch_all()

from algoliasearch import algoliasearch
client = alogliasearch.Client(<ID>, <API_KEY>)
index = client.init_index(<INDEX_NAME>)
index.search("your query", args={"attributesToRetrieve": "attribute1,attribute1"})

Configuration#

ddtrace.config.algoliasearch['collect_query_text']

Whether to pass the text of your query onto Datadog. Since this may contain sensitive data it’s off by default

Default: False

aredis#

The aredis integration traces aredis requests.

Enabling#

The aredis integration is enabled automatically when using ddtrace-run or patch_all().

Or use patch() to manually enable the integration:

from ddtrace import patch
patch(aredis=True)

Global Configuration#

ddtrace.config.aredis["service"]

The service name reported by default for aredis traces.

This option can also be set with the DD_AREDIS_SERVICE environment variable.

Default: "redis"

ddtrace.config.aredis["cmd_max_length"]

Max allowable size for the aredis command span tag. Anything beyond the max length will be replaced with "...".

This option can also be set with the DD_AREDIS_CMD_MAX_LENGTH environment variable.

Default: 1000

Instance Configuration#

To configure particular aredis instances use the Pin API:

import aredis
from ddtrace import Pin

client = aredis.StrictRedis(host="localhost", port=6379)

# Override service name for this instance
Pin.override(client, service="my-custom-queue")

# Traces reported for this client will now have "my-custom-queue"
# as the service name.
async def example():
    await client.get("my-key")

asgi#

The asgi middleware for tracing all requests to an ASGI-compliant application.

To configure tracing manually:

from ddtrace.contrib.asgi import TraceMiddleware

# app = <your asgi app>
app = TraceMiddleware(app)

Then use ddtrace-run when serving your application. For example, if serving with Uvicorn:

ddtrace-run uvicorn app:app

On Python 3.6 and below, you must enable the legacy AsyncioContextProvider before using the middleware:

from ddtrace.contrib.asyncio.provider import AsyncioContextProvider
from ddtrace import tracer  # Or whichever tracer instance you plan to use
tracer.configure(context_provider=AsyncioContextProvider())

The middleware also supports using a custom function for handling exceptions for a trace:

from ddtrace.contrib.asgi import TraceMiddleware

def custom_handle_exception_span(exc, span):
    span.set_tag("http.status_code", 501)

# app = <your asgi app>
app = TraceMiddleware(app, handle_exception_span=custom_handle_exception_span)

To retrieve the request span from the scope of an ASGI request use the span_from_scope function:

from ddtrace.contrib.asgi import span_from_scope

def handle_request(scope, send):
    span = span_from_scope(scope)
    if span:
        span.set_tag(...)
    ...

Configuration#

ddtrace.config.asgi['distributed_tracing']

Whether to use distributed tracing headers from requests received by your Asgi app.

Default: True

ddtrace.config.asgi['service_name']

The service name reported for your ASGI app.

Can also be configured via the DD_SERVICE environment variable.

Default: 'asgi'

aiohttp#

The aiohttp integration traces requests made with the client or to the server.

The client is automatically instrumented while the server must be manually instrumented using middleware.

Client#

Enabling#

The client integration is enabled automatically when using ddtrace-run or patch_all().

Or use patch() to manually enable the integration:

from ddtrace import patch
patch(aiohttp=True)

Global Configuration#

ddtrace.config.aiohttp_client['distributed_tracing']

Include distributed tracing headers in requests sent from the aiohttp client.

This option can also be set with the DD_AIOHTTP_CLIENT_DISTRIBUTED_TRACING environment variable.

Default: True

Server#

Enabling#

Automatic instrumentation is not available for the server, instead the provided trace_app function must be used:

from aiohttp import web
from ddtrace import tracer, patch
from ddtrace.contrib.aiohttp import trace_app

# create your application
app = web.Application()
app.router.add_get('/', home_handler)

# trace your application handlers
trace_app(app, tracer, service='async-api')
web.run_app(app, port=8000)

Integration settings are attached to your application under the datadog_trace namespace. You can read or update them as follows:

# disables distributed tracing for all received requests
app['datadog_trace']['distributed_tracing_enabled'] = False

Available settings are:

  • tracer (default: ddtrace.tracer): set the default tracer instance that is used to trace aiohttp internals. By default the ddtrace tracer is used.

  • service (default: aiohttp-web): set the service name used by the tracer. Usually this configuration must be updated with a meaningful name.

  • distributed_tracing_enabled (default: True): enable distributed tracing during the middleware execution, so that a new span is created with the given trace_id and parent_id injected via request headers.

When a request span is created, a new Context for this logical execution is attached to the request object, so that it can be used in the application code:

async def home_handler(request):
    ctx = request['datadog_context']
    # do something with the tracing Context

All HTTP tags are supported for this integration.

aiomysql#

The aiomysql integration instruments the aiomysql library to trace MySQL queries.

Enabling#

The integration is enabled automatically when using ddtrace-run or patch_all().

Or use patch() to manually enable the integration:

from ddtrace import patch
patch(aiomysql=True)

Instance Configuration#

To configure the integration on an per-connection basis use the Pin API:

from ddtrace import Pin
import asyncio
import aiomysql

# This will report a span with the default settings
conn = await aiomysql.connect(host="127.0.0.1", port=3306,
                              user="root", password="", db="mysql",
                              loop=loop)

# Use a pin to override the service name for this connection.
Pin.override(conn, service="mysql-users")


cur = await conn.cursor()
await cur.execute("SELECT 6*7 AS the_answer;")

aiohttp_jinja2#

The aiohttp_jinja2 integration adds tracing of template rendering.

Enabling#

The integration is enabled automatically when using ddtrace-run or patch_all().

Or use patch() to manually enable the integration:

from ddtrace import patch
patch(aiohttp_jinja2=True)

asyncio#

This integration provides context management for tracing the execution flow of concurrent execution of asyncio.Task.

This integration is only necessary in Python < 3.7 (where contextvars is not supported). For Python > 3.7 this works automatically without configuration.

For asynchronous execution tracing to work properly the tracer must be configured as follows:

import asyncio
from ddtrace import tracer
from ddtrace.contrib.asyncio import context_provider

# enable asyncio support
tracer.configure(context_provider=context_provider)

async def some_work():
    with tracer.trace('asyncio.some_work'):
        # do something

# launch your coroutines as usual
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(some_work())
loop.close()

In addition, helpers are provided to simplify how the tracing Context is handled between scheduled coroutines and Future invoked in separated threads:

  • set_call_context(task, ctx): attach the context to the given Task so that it will be available from the tracer.current_trace_context()

  • ensure_future(coro_or_future, *, loop=None): wrapper for the asyncio.ensure_future that attaches the current context to a new Task instance

  • run_in_executor(loop, executor, func, *args): wrapper for the loop.run_in_executor that attaches the current context to the new thread so that the trace can be resumed regardless when it’s executed

  • create_task(coro): creates a new asyncio Task that inherits the current active Context so that generated traces in the new task are attached to the main trace

asyncpg#

The asyncpg integration traces database requests made using connection and cursor objects.

Enabling#

The integration is enabled automatically when using ddtrace-run or patch_all().

Or use patch() to manually enable the integration:

from ddtrace import patch
patch(asyncpg=True)

Global Configuration#

ddtrace.config.asyncpg['service']

The service name reported by default for asyncpg connections.

This option can also be set with the DD_ASYNCPG_SERVICE environment variable.

Default: postgres

Instance Configuration#

Service#

To configure the service name used by the asyncpg integration on a per-instance basis use the Pin API:

import asyncpg
from ddtrace import Pin

conn = asyncpg.connect("postgres://localhost:5432")
Pin.override(conn, service="custom-service")

botocore#

The Botocore integration will trace all AWS calls made with the botocore library. Libraries like Boto3 that use Botocore will also be patched.

Enabling#

The botocore integration is enabled automatically when using ddtrace-run or patch_all().

Or use patch() to manually enable the integration:

from ddtrace import patch
patch(botocore=True)

To patch only specific botocore modules, pass a list of the module names instead:

from ddtrace import patch
patch(botocore=['s3', 'sns'])

Configuration#

ddtrace.config.botocore['distributed_tracing']

Whether to inject distributed tracing data to requests in SQS, SNS, EventBridge, Kinesis Streams and Lambda.

Can also be enabled with the DD_BOTOCORE_DISTRIBUTED_TRACING environment variable.

Default: True

ddtrace.config.botocore['invoke_with_legacy_context']

This preserves legacy behavior when tracing directly invoked Python and Node Lambda functions instrumented with datadog-lambda-python < v41 or datadog-lambda-js < v3.58.0.

Legacy support for older libraries is available with ddtrace.config.botocore.invoke_with_legacy_context = True or by setting the environment variable DD_BOTOCORE_INVOKE_WITH_LEGACY_CONTEXT=true.

Default: False

ddtrace.config.botocore['operations'][<operation>].error_statuses = "<error statuses>"

Definition of which HTTP status codes to consider for making a span as an error span.

By default response status codes of '500-599' are considered as errors for all endpoints.

Example marking 404, and 5xx as errors for s3.headobject API calls:

from ddtrace import config

config.botocore['operations']['s3.headobject'].error_statuses = '404,500-599'

See HTTP - Custom Error Codes documentation for more examples.

ddtrace.config.botocore['tag_no_params']

This opts out of the default behavior of collecting a narrow set of API parameters as span tags.

To not collect any API parameters, ddtrace.config.botocore.tag_no_params = True or by setting the environment variable DD_AWS_TAG_NO_PARAMS=true.

Default: False

ddtrace.config.botocore['instrument_internals']

This opts into collecting spans for some internal functions, including parsers.ResponseParser.parse.

Can also be enabled with the DD_BOTOCORE_INSTRUMENT_INTERNALS environment variable.

Default: False

Example:

from ddtrace import config

# Enable distributed tracing
config.botocore['distributed_tracing'] = True

boto2#

Boto integration will trace all AWS calls made via boto2.

Enabling#

The boto integration is enabled automatically when using ddtrace-run or patch_all().

Or use patch() to manually enable the integration:

from ddtrace import patch
patch(boto=True)

Configuration#

ddtrace.config.boto['tag_no_params']

This opts out of the default behavior of collecting a narrow set of API parameters as span tags.

To not collect any API parameters, ddtrace.config.boto.tag_no_params = True or by setting the environment variable DD_AWS_TAG_NO_PARAMS=true.

Default: False

Bottle#

The bottle integration traces the Bottle web framework. Add the following plugin to your app:

import bottle
from ddtrace import tracer
from ddtrace.contrib.bottle import TracePlugin

app = bottle.Bottle()
plugin = TracePlugin(service="my-web-app")
app.install(plugin)

All HTTP tags are supported for this integration.

Configuration#

ddtrace.config.bottle['distributed_tracing']

Whether to parse distributed tracing headers from requests received by your bottle app.

Can also be enabled with the DD_BOTTLE_DISTRIBUTED_TRACING environment variable.

Default: True

Example:

from ddtrace import config

# Enable distributed tracing
config.bottle['distributed_tracing'] = True

Cassandra#

Instrument Cassandra to report Cassandra queries.

patch_all will automatically patch your Cluster instance to make it work.

from ddtrace import Pin, patch
from cassandra.cluster import Cluster

# If not patched yet, you can patch cassandra specifically
patch(cassandra=True)

# This will report spans with the default instrumentation
cluster = Cluster(contact_points=["127.0.0.1"], port=9042)
session = cluster.connect("my_keyspace")
# Example of instrumented query
session.execute("select id from my_table limit 10;")

# Use a pin to specify metadata related to this cluster
cluster = Cluster(contact_points=['10.1.1.3', '10.1.1.4', '10.1.1.5'], port=9042)
Pin.override(cluster, service='cassandra-backend')
session = cluster.connect("my_keyspace")
session.execute("select id from my_table limit 10;")

Celery#

The Celery integration will trace all tasks that are executed in the background. Functions and class based tasks are traced only if the Celery API is used, so calling the function directly or via the run() method will not generate traces. However, calling apply(), apply_async() and delay() will produce tracing data. To trace your Celery application, call the patch method:

import celery
from ddtrace import patch

patch(celery=True)
app = celery.Celery()

@app.task
def my_task():
    pass

class MyTask(app.Task):
    def run(self):
        pass

Configuration#

ddtrace.config.celery['distributed_tracing']

Whether or not to pass distributed tracing headers to Celery workers.

Can also be enabled with the DD_CELERY_DISTRIBUTED_TRACING environment variable.

Default: False

ddtrace.config.celery['producer_service_name']

Sets service name for producer

Default: 'celery-producer'

ddtrace.config.celery['worker_service_name']

Sets service name for worker

Default: 'celery-worker'

CherryPy#

The Cherrypy trace middleware will track request timings. It uses the cherrypy hooks and creates a tool to track requests and errors

Usage#

To install the middleware, add:

from ddtrace import tracer
from ddtrace.contrib.cherrypy import TraceMiddleware

and create a TraceMiddleware object:

traced_app = TraceMiddleware(cherrypy, tracer, service="my-cherrypy-app")

Configuration#

ddtrace.config.cherrypy['distributed_tracing']

Whether to parse distributed tracing headers from requests received by your CherryPy app.

Can also be enabled with the DD_CHERRYPY_DISTRIBUTED_TRACING environment variable.

Default: True

ddtrace.config.cherrypy['service']

The service name reported for your CherryPy app.

Can also be configured via the DD_SERVICE environment variable.

Default: 'cherrypy'

Example:: Here is the end result, in a sample app:

import cherrypy

from ddtrace import tracer, Pin
from ddtrace.contrib.cherrypy import TraceMiddleware
TraceMiddleware(cherrypy, tracer, service="my-cherrypy-app")

@cherrypy.tools.tracer()
class HelloWorld(object):
    def index(self):
        return "Hello World"
    index.exposed = True

cherrypy.quickstart(HelloWorld())

Consul#

Instrument Consul to trace KV queries.

Only supports tracing for the synchronous client.

patch_all will automatically patch your Consul client to make it work.

from ddtrace import Pin, patch
import consul

# If not patched yet, you can patch consul specifically
patch(consul=True)

# This will report a span with the default settings
client = consul.Consul(host="127.0.0.1", port=8500)
client.get("my-key")

# Use a pin to specify metadata related to this client
Pin.override(client, service='consul-kv')

Datadog Lambda#

The aws_lambda integration currently enables traces to be sent before an impending timeout in an AWS Lambda function instrumented with the Datadog Lambda Python package.

Enabling#

The aws_lambda integration is enabled automatically for AWS Lambda functions which have been instrumented with Datadog.

Global Configuration#

This integration is configured automatically. The datadog_lambda package calls patch_all when DD_TRACE_ENABLED is set to true. It’s not recommended to call patch for it manually. Since it would not do anything for other environments that do not meet the criteria above.

Configuration#

Important

You can configure some features with environment variables.

ddtrace.contrib.aws_lambda.DD_APM_FLUSH_DEADLINE_MILLISECONDS#

Used to determine when to submit spans before a timeout occurs. When the remaining time in an AWS Lambda invocation is less than DD_APM_FLUSH_DEADLINE_MILLISECONDS, the tracer will attempt to submit the current active spans and all finished spans.

Default: 100

For additional configuration refer to Instrumenting Python Serverless Applications by Datadog.

Django#

The Django integration traces requests, views, template renderers, database and cache calls in a Django application.

Enable Django tracing automatically via ddtrace-run:

ddtrace-run python manage.py runserver

Django tracing can also be enabled manually:

from ddtrace import patch_all
patch_all()

To have Django capture the tracer logs, ensure the LOGGING variable in settings.py looks similar to:

LOGGING = {
    'loggers': {
        'ddtrace': {
            'handlers': ['console'],
            'level': 'WARNING',
        },
    },
}

Configuration#

Important

Note that the in-code configuration must be run before Django is instrumented. This means that in-code configuration will not work with ddtrace-run and before a call to patch or patch_all.

ddtrace.config.django['distributed_tracing_enabled']

Whether or not to parse distributed tracing headers from requests received by your Django app.

Default: True

ddtrace.config.django['service_name']

The service name reported for your Django app.

Can also be configured via the DD_DJANGO_INCLUDE_USER_NAME environment variable.

Default: True

ddtrace.config.django['use_handler_resource_format']

Whether or not to use the resource format “{method} {handler}”. Can also be enabled with the DD_DJANGO_USE_HANDLER_RESOURCE_FORMAT environment variable.

The default resource format for Django >= 2.2.0 is otherwise “{method} {urlpattern}”.

Default: False

ddtrace.config.django['use_handler_with_url_name_resource_format']

Whether or not to use the resource format “{method} {handler}.{url_name}”. Can also be enabled with the DD_DJANGO_USE_HANDLER_WITH_URL_NAME_RESOURCE_FORMAT environment variable.

This configuration applies only for Django <= 2.2.0.

Default: False

ddtrace.config.django['use_legacy_resource_format']

Whether or not to use the legacy resource format “{handler}”. Can also be enabled with the DD_DJANGO_USE_LEGACY_RESOURCE_FORMAT environment variable.

The default resource format for Django >= 2.2.0 is otherwise “{method} {urlpattern}”.

Default: False

Example:

from ddtrace import config

# Enable distributed tracing
config.django['distributed_tracing_enabled'] = True

# Override service name
config.django['service_name'] = 'custom-service-name'

Headers tracing is supported for this integration.

dogpile.cache#

Instrument dogpile.cache to report all cached lookups.

This will add spans around the calls to your cache backend (e.g. redis, memory, etc). The spans will also include the following tags:

  • key/keys: The key(s) dogpile passed to your backend. Note that this will be the output of the region’s function_key_generator, but before any key mangling is applied (i.e. the region’s key_mangler).

  • region: Name of the region.

  • backend: Name of the backend class.

  • hit: If the key was found in the cache.

  • expired: If the key is expired. This is only relevant if the key was found.

While cache tracing will generally already have keys in tags, some caching setups will not have useful tag values - such as when you’re using consistent hashing with memcached - the key(s) will appear as a mangled hash.

# Patch before importing dogpile.cache
from ddtrace import patch
patch(dogpile_cache=True)

from dogpile.cache import make_region

region = make_region().configure(
    "dogpile.cache.pylibmc",
    expiration_time=3600,
    arguments={"url": ["127.0.0.1"]},
)

@region.cache_on_arguments()
def hello(name):
    # Some complicated, slow calculation
    return "Hello, {}".format(name)

Elasticsearch#

The Elasticsearch integration will trace Elasticsearch queries.

Enabling#

The elasticsearch integration is enabled automatically when using ddtrace-run or patch_all().

Or use patch() to manually enable the integration:

from ddtrace import patch
from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch

patch(elasticsearch=True)
# This will report spans with the default instrumentation
es = Elasticsearch(port=ELASTICSEARCH_CONFIG['port'])
# Example of instrumented query
es.indices.create(index='books', ignore=400)

# Use a pin to specify metadata related to this client
es = Elasticsearch(port=ELASTICSEARCH_CONFIG['port'])
Pin.override(es.transport, service='elasticsearch-videos')
es.indices.create(index='videos', ignore=400)

OpenSearch is also supported (opensearch-py):

from ddtrace import patch
from opensearchpy import OpenSearch

patch(elasticsearch=True)
os = OpenSearch()
# Example of instrumented query
os.indices.create(index='books', ignore=400)

Configuration#

ddtrace.config.elasticsearch['service']

The service name reported for your elasticsearch app.

Example:

from ddtrace import config

# Override service name
config.elasticsearch['service'] = 'custom-service-name'

Falcon#

To trace the falcon web framework, install the trace middleware:

import falcon
from ddtrace import tracer
from ddtrace.contrib.falcon import TraceMiddleware

mw = TraceMiddleware(tracer, 'my-falcon-app')
falcon.API(middleware=[mw])

You can also use the autopatching functionality:

import falcon
from ddtrace import tracer, patch

patch(falcon=True)

app = falcon.API()

To disable distributed tracing when using autopatching, set the DD_FALCON_DISTRIBUTED_TRACING environment variable to False.

Supported span hooks

The following is a list of available tracer hooks that can be used to intercept and modify spans created by this integration.

  • request
    • Called before the response has been finished

    • def on_falcon_request(span, request, response)

Example:

import falcon
from ddtrace import config, patch_all
patch_all()

app = falcon.API()

@config.falcon.hooks.on('request')
def on_falcon_request(span, request, response):
    span.set_tag('my.custom', 'tag')

Headers tracing is supported for this integration.

Fastapi#

The fastapi integration will trace requests to and from FastAPI.

Enabling#

The fastapi integration is enabled automatically when using ddtrace-run or patch_all().

Or use patch() to manually enable the integration:

from ddtrace import patch
from fastapi import FastAPI

patch(fastapi=True)
app = FastAPI()

On Python 3.6 and below, you must enable the legacy AsyncioContextProvider before using the middleware:

from ddtrace.contrib.asyncio.provider import AsyncioContextProvider
from ddtrace import tracer  # Or whichever tracer instance you plan to use
tracer.configure(context_provider=AsyncioContextProvider())

When registering your own ASGI middleware using FastAPI’s add_middleware() function, keep in mind that Datadog spans close after your middleware’s call to await self.app() returns. This means that accesses of span data from within the middleware should be performed prior to this call.

Configuration#

ddtrace.config.fastapi['service_name']

The service name reported for your fastapi app.

Can also be configured via the DD_SERVICE environment variable.

Default: 'fastapi'

ddtrace.config.fastapi['request_span_name']

The span name for a fastapi request.

Default: 'fastapi.request'

Example:

from ddtrace import config

# Override service name
config.fastapi['service_name'] = 'custom-service-name'

# Override request span name
config.fastapi['request_span_name'] = 'custom-request-span-name'

Flask#

The Flask integration will add tracing to all requests to your Flask application.

This integration will track the entire Flask lifecycle including user-defined endpoints, hooks, signals, and template rendering.

To configure tracing manually:

from ddtrace import patch_all
patch_all()

from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)


@app.route('/')
def index():
    return 'hello world'


if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run()

You may also enable Flask tracing automatically via ddtrace-run:

ddtrace-run python app.py

Note that if you are using IAST/Custom Code to detect vulnerabilities (DD_IAST_ENABLED=1) and your main app.py file contains code outside the app.run() call (e.g. routes or utility functions) you will need to import and call ddtrace_iast_flask_patch() before the app.run() to ensure the code inside the main module is patched to propagation works:

from flask import Flask from ddtrace.appsec._iast import ddtrace_iast_flask_patch

app = Flask(__name__)

if __name__ == ‘__main__’:

ddtrace_iast_flask_patch() app.run()

Configuration#

ddtrace.config.flask['distributed_tracing_enabled']

Whether to parse distributed tracing headers from requests received by your Flask app.

Default: True

ddtrace.config.flask['service_name']

The service name reported for your Flask app.

Can also be configured via the DD_SERVICE environment variable.

Default: 'flask'

ddtrace.config.flask['collect_view_args']

Whether to add request tags for view function argument values.

Default: True

ddtrace.config.flask['template_default_name']

The default template name to use when one does not exist.

Default: <memory>

ddtrace.config.flask['trace_signals']

Whether to trace Flask signals (before_request, after_request, etc).

Default: True

Example:

from ddtrace import config

# Enable distributed tracing
config.flask['distributed_tracing_enabled'] = True

# Override service name
config.flask['service_name'] = 'custom-service-name'

# Report 401, and 403 responses as errors
config.http_server.error_statuses = '401,403'

All HTTP tags are supported for this integration.

Flask Cache#

The flask cache tracer will track any access to a cache backend. You can use this tracer together with the Flask tracer middleware.

The tracer supports both Flask-Cache and Flask-Caching.

To install the tracer, from ddtrace import tracer needs to be added:

from ddtrace import tracer
from ddtrace.contrib.flask_cache import get_traced_cache

and the tracer needs to be initialized:

Cache = get_traced_cache(tracer, service='my-flask-cache-app')

Here is the end result, in a sample app:

from flask import Flask

from ddtrace import tracer
from ddtrace.contrib.flask_cache import get_traced_cache

app = Flask(__name__)

# get the traced Cache class
Cache = get_traced_cache(tracer, service='my-flask-cache-app')

# use the Cache as usual with your preferred CACHE_TYPE
cache = Cache(app, config={'CACHE_TYPE': 'simple'})

def counter():
    # this access is traced
    conn_counter = cache.get("conn_counter")

Use a specific Cache implementation with:

from ddtrace import tracer
from ddtrace.contrib.flask_cache import get_traced_cache

from flask_caching import Cache

Cache = get_traced_cache(tracer, service='my-flask-cache-app', cache_cls=Cache)

Flask Login#

The flask_login integration implements appsec automatic user login events when DD_APPSEC_ENABLED=1. This will automatically fill the following tags when a user tries to log in using flask_login as an authentication plugin:

  • appsec.events.users.login.success.track

  • appsec.events.users.login.failure.track

  • appsec.events.users.login.success.[email|login|username]

Note that, by default, this will be enabled if DD_APPSEC_ENABLED=1 with DD_APPSEC_AUTOMATIC_USER_EVENTS_TRACKING set to safe which will store the user’s id but not the username or email. Check the configuration docs to see how to disable this feature entirely, or set it to extended mode which would also store the username and email or customize the id, email and name fields to adapt them to your custom User model.

Also, since flask_login is a “roll your own” kind of authentication system, in your main login function, where you check the user password (usually with check_password_hash) you must manually call track_user_login_failure_event(tracer, user_id, exists) to store the correct tags for authentication failure. As a helper, you can call flask_login.login_user with a user object with a get_id() returning -1 to automatically set the tags for a login failure where the user doesn’t exist.

Enabling#

This integration is enabled automatically when using DD_APPSEC_ENABLED=1`. Use ``DD_APPSEC_AUTOMATIC_USER_EVENTS_TRACKING=disabled to explicitly disable it.

futures#

The futures integration propagates the current active tracing context to tasks spawned using a ThreadPoolExecutor. The integration ensures that when operations are executed in another thread, those operations can continue the previously generated trace.

Enabling#

The futures integration is enabled automatically when using ddtrace-run or patch_all().

Or use patch() to manually enable the integration:

from ddtrace import patch
patch(futures=True)

gevent#

The gevent integration adds support for tracing across greenlets.

The integration patches the gevent internals to add context management logic.

Note

If ddtrace-run is not being used then be sure to import ddtrace.auto before calling gevent.monkey.patch_all. If ddtrace-run is being used then no additional configuration is required.

The integration also configures the global tracer instance to use a gevent context provider to utilize the context management logic.

If custom tracer instances are being used in a gevent application, then configure it with:

from ddtrace.contrib.gevent import context_provider

tracer.configure(context_provider=context_provider)

Enabling#

The integration is enabled automatically when using ddtrace-run or patch_all().

Or use patch() to manually enable the integration:

from ddtrace import patch
patch(gevent=True)

Example of the context propagation:

def my_parent_function():
    with tracer.trace("web.request") as span:
        span.service = "web"
        gevent.spawn(worker_function)


def worker_function():
    # then trace its child
    with tracer.trace("greenlet.call") as span:
        span.service = "greenlet"
        ...

        with tracer.trace("greenlet.child_call") as child:
            ...

graphql#

This integration instruments graphql-core queries.

Enabling#

The graphql integration is enabled automatically when using ddtrace-run or patch_all().

Or use patch() to manually enable the integration:

from ddtrace import patch
patch(graphql=True)
import graphql
...

Global Configuration#

ddtrace.config.graphql["service"]

The service name reported by default for graphql instances.

This option can also be set with the DD_SERVICE environment variable.

Default: "graphql"

ddtrace.config.graphql["resolvers_enabled"]

To enable graphql.resolve spans set DD_TRACE_GRAPHQL_RESOLVERS_ENABLED to True

Default: False

Enabling instrumentation for resolvers will produce a graphql.resolve span for every graphql field. For complex graphql queries this could produce large traces.

To configure the graphql integration using the Pin API:

from ddtrace import Pin
import graphql

Pin.override(graphql, service="mygraphql")

Grpc#

The gRPC integration traces the client and server using the interceptor pattern.

Enabling#

The gRPC integration is enabled automatically when using ddtrace-run or patch_all().

Or use patch() to manually enable the integration:

from ddtrace import patch
patch(grpc=True)

# use grpc like usual

Global Configuration#

ddtrace.config.grpc["service"]

The service name reported by default for gRPC client instances.

This option can also be set with the DD_GRPC_SERVICE environment variable.

Default: "grpc-client"

ddtrace.config.grpc_server["service"]

The service name reported by default for gRPC server instances.

This option can also be set with the DD_SERVICE or DD_GRPC_SERVER_SERVICE environment variables.

Default: "grpc-server"

Instance Configuration#

To configure the gRPC integration on an per-channel basis use the Pin API:

import grpc
from ddtrace import Pin, patch, Tracer

patch(grpc=True)
custom_tracer = Tracer()

# override the pin on the client
Pin.override(grpc.Channel, service='mygrpc', tracer=custom_tracer)
with grpc.insecure_channel('localhost:50051') as channel:
    # create stubs and send requests
    pass

To configure the gRPC integration on the server use the Pin API:

import grpc
from grpc.framework.foundation import logging_pool

from ddtrace import Pin, patch, Tracer

patch(grpc=True)
custom_tracer = Tracer()

# override the pin on the server
Pin.override(grpc.Server, service='mygrpc', tracer=custom_tracer)
server = grpc.server(logging_pool.pool(2))
server.add_insecure_port('localhost:50051')
add_MyServicer_to_server(MyServicer(), server)
server.start()

gunicorn#

ddtrace works with Gunicorn.

Note

If you cannot wrap your Gunicorn server with the ddtrace-run command and it uses gevent workers be sure to import ddtrace.auto as early as possible in your application’s lifecycle. Do not use ddtrace-run with import ddtrace.auto.

httplib#

Trace the standard library httplib/http.client libraries to trace HTTP requests.

Enabling#

The httplib integration is disabled by default. It can be enabled when using ddtrace-run using the DD_TRACE_HTTPLIB_ENABLED environment variable:

DD_TRACE_HTTPLIB_ENABLED=true ddtrace-run ....

The integration can also be enabled manually in code with patch_all():

from ddtrace import patch_all
patch_all(httplib=True)

Global Configuration#

ddtrace.config.httplib['distributed_tracing']

Include distributed tracing headers in requests sent from httplib.

This option can also be set with the DD_HTTPLIB_DISTRIBUTED_TRACING environment variable.

Default: True

Instance Configuration#

The integration can be configured per instance:

from ddtrace import config

# Disable distributed tracing globally.
config.httplib['distributed_tracing'] = False

# Change the service distributed tracing option only for this HTTP
# connection.

# Python 2
connection = urllib.HTTPConnection('www.datadog.com')

# Python 3
connection = http.client.HTTPConnection('www.datadog.com')

cfg = config.get_from(connection)
cfg['distributed_tracing'] = True

Headers tracing is supported for this integration.

httpx#

The httpx integration traces all HTTP requests made with the httpx library.

Enabling#

The httpx integration is enabled automatically when using ddtrace-run or patch_all().

Alternatively, use patch() to manually enable the integration:

from ddtrace import patch
patch(httpx=True)

# use httpx like usual

Global Configuration#

ddtrace.config.httpx['service']

The default service name for httpx requests. By default the httpx integration will not define a service name and inherit its service name from its parent span.

If you are making calls to uninstrumented third party applications you can set this setting, use the ddtrace.config.httpx['split_by_domain'] setting, or use a Pin to override an individual connection’s settings (see example below for Pin usage).

This option can also be set with the DD_HTTPX_SERVICE environment variable.

Default: None

ddtrace.config.httpx['distributed_tracing']

Whether or not to inject distributed tracing headers into requests.

Default: True

ddtrace.config.httpx['split_by_domain']

Whether or not to use the domain name of requests as the service name. This setting can be overridden with session overrides (described in the Instance Configuration section).

This setting takes precedence over ddtrace.config.httpx['service']

Default: False

Instance Configuration#

To configure particular httpx client instances use the Pin API:

import httpx
from ddtrace import Pin

client = httpx.Client()
# Override service name for this instance
Pin.override(client, service="custom-http-service")

async_client = httpx.AsyncClient(
# Override service name for this instance
Pin.override(async_client, service="custom-async-http-service")

Headers tracing is supported for this integration.

HTTP Tagging is supported for this integration.

Jinja2#

The jinja2 integration traces templates loading, compilation and rendering. Auto instrumentation is available using the patch. The following is an example:

from ddtrace import patch
from jinja2 import Environment, FileSystemLoader

patch(jinja2=True)

env = Environment(
    loader=FileSystemLoader("templates")
)
template = env.get_template('mytemplate.html')

The library can be configured globally and per instance, using the Configuration API:

from ddtrace import config

# Change service name globally
config.jinja2['service_name'] = 'jinja-templates'

# change the service name only for this environment
cfg = config.get_from(env)
cfg['service_name'] = 'jinja-templates'

By default, the service name is set to None, so it is inherited from the parent span. If there is no parent span and the service name is not overridden the agent will drop the traces.

Kafka#

This integration instruments the confluent-kafka<https://github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-python> library to trace event streaming.

Enabling#

The kafka integration is enabled automatically when using ddtrace-run or patch_all().

Or use patch() to manually enable the integration:

from ddtrace import patch
patch(kafka=True)
import confluent_kafka
...

Global Configuration#

ddtrace.config.kafka["service"]

The service name reported by default for your kafka spans.

This option can also be set with the DD_KAFKA_SERVICE environment variable.

Default: "kafka"

To configure the kafka integration using the Pin API:

from ddtrace import Pin
from ddtrace import patch

# Make sure to patch before importing confluent_kafka
patch(kafka=True)

import confluent_kafka

Pin.override(confluent_kafka, service="custom-service-name")

kombu#

Instrument kombu to report AMQP messaging.

patch_all will not automatically patch your Kombu client to make it work, as this would conflict with the Celery integration. You must specifically request kombu be patched, as in the example below.

Note: To permit distributed tracing for the kombu integration you must enable the tracer with priority sampling. Refer to the documentation here: https://ddtrace.readthedocs.io/en/stable/advanced_usage.html#priority-sampling

Without enabling distributed tracing, spans within a trace generated by the kombu integration might be dropped without the whole trace being dropped.

from ddtrace import Pin, patch
import kombu

# If not patched yet, you can patch kombu specifically
patch(kombu=True)

# This will report a span with the default settings
conn = kombu.Connection("amqp://guest:guest@127.0.0.1:5672//")
conn.connect()
task_queue = kombu.Queue('tasks', kombu.Exchange('tasks'), routing_key='tasks')
to_publish = {'hello': 'world'}
producer = conn.Producer()
producer.publish(to_publish,
                 exchange=task_queue.exchange,
                 routing_key=task_queue.routing_key,
                 declare=[task_queue])

# Use a pin to specify metadata related to this client
Pin.override(producer, service='kombu-consumer')

LangChain#

The LangChain integration instruments the LangChain Python library to emit metrics, traces, and logs (logs are disabled by default) for requests made to the LLMs, chat models, embeddings, chains, and vector store interfaces.

All metrics, logs, and traces submitted from the LangChain integration are tagged by:

  • service, env, version: see the Unified Service Tagging docs.

  • langchain.request.provider: LLM provider used in the request.

  • langchain.request.model: LLM/Chat/Embeddings model used in the request.

  • langchain.request.api_key: LLM provider API key used to make the request (obfuscated into the format ...XXXX where XXXX is the last 4 digits of the key).

Metrics#

The following metrics are collected by default by the LangChain integration.

Important

If the Agent is configured to use a non-default Statsd hostname or port, use DD_DOGSTATSD_URL to configure ddtrace to use it.

langchain.request.duration#

The duration of the LangChain request in seconds.

Type: distribution

langchain.request.error#

The number of errors from requests made with LangChain.

Type: count

(beta) Prompt and Completion Sampling#

The following data is collected in span tags with a default sampling rate of 1.0:

  • Prompt inputs and completions for the LLM interface.

  • Message inputs and completions for the ChatModel interface.

  • Embedding inputs for the Embeddings interface.

  • Prompt inputs, chain inputs, and outputs for the Chain interface.

  • Query inputs and document outputs for the VectorStore interface.

Prompt and message inputs and completions can also be emitted as log data. Logs are not emitted by default. When logs are enabled they are sampled at 0.1.

Read the Global Configuration section for information about enabling logs and configuring sampling rates.

Important

To submit logs, you must set the DD_API_KEY environment variable.

Set DD_SITE to send logs to a Datadog site such as datadoghq.eu. The default is datadoghq.com.

Enabling#

The LangChain integration is enabled automatically when you use ddtrace-run or patch_all().

Note that these commands also enable the requests and aiohttp integrations which trace HTTP requests to LLM providers, as well as the openai integration which traces requests to the OpenAI library.

Alternatively, use patch() to manually enable the LangChain integration:

from ddtrace import config, patch

# Note: be sure to configure the integration before calling ``patch()``!
# eg. config.langchain["logs_enabled"] = True

patch(langchain=True)

# to trace synchronous HTTP requests
# patch(langchain=True, requests=True)

patch(mariadb=True)

import mariadb.connector

# This will report a span with the default settings
conn = mariadb.connector.connect(user="alice", password="b0b", host="localhost", port=3306, database="test")

# Use a pin to override the service name for this connection.
Pin.override(conn, service="mariadb-users")

cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute("SELECT 6*7 AS the_answer;")

Molten#

The molten web framework is automatically traced by ddtrace when calling patch:

from molten import App, Route
from ddtrace import patch_all; patch_all(molten=True)

def hello(name: str, age: int) -> str:
    return f'Hello {age} year old named {name}!'

This package works for mysqlclient. Only the default full-Python integration works. The binary C connector provided by _mysql is not supported.

Help on mysqlclient can be found on: https://mysqlclient.readthedocs.io/

OpenAI#

The OpenAI integration instruments the OpenAI Python library to emit metrics, traces, and logs (logs are disabled by default) for requests made to the models, completions, chat completions, edits, images, embeddings, audio, files, fine-tunes, and moderations endpoints.

All metrics, logs, and traces submitted from the OpenAI integration are tagged by:

  • service, env, version: see the Unified Service Tagging docs.

  • openai.request.endpoint: OpenAI API endpoint used in the request.

  • openai.request.method: HTTP method type used in the request.

  • openai.request.model: OpenAI model used in the request.

  • openai.organization.name: OpenAI organization name used in the request.

  • openai.organization.id: OpenAI organization ID used in the request (when available).

  • openai.user.api_key: OpenAI API key used to make the request (obfuscated to match the OpenAI UI representation sk-...XXXX where XXXX is the last 4 digits of the key).

Metrics#

The following metrics are collected by default by the OpenAI integration.

Important

If the Agent is configured to use a non-default Statsd hostname or port, use DD_DOGSTATSD_URL to configure ddtrace to use it.

Important

Ratelimit and token metrics only reflect usage of the supported completions, chat completions, and embedding

endpoints. Usage of other OpenAI endpoints will not be recorded as they are not provided.

openai.request.duration#

The duration of the OpenAI request in seconds.

Type: distribution

openai.request.error#

The number of errors from requests made to OpenAI.

Type: count

openai.ratelimit.requests#

The maximum number of OpenAI requests permitted before exhausting the rate limit.

Type: gauge

openai.ratelimit.tokens#

The maximum number of OpenAI tokens permitted before exhausting the rate limit.

Type: gauge

openai.ratelimit.remaining.requests#

The remaining number of OpenAI requests permitted before exhausting the rate limit.

Type: gauge

openai.ratelimit.remaining.tokens#

The remaining number of OpenAI tokens permitted before exhausting the rate limit.

Type: gauge

openai.tokens.prompt#

The number of tokens used in the prompt of an OpenAI request.

Type: distribution

openai.tokens.completion#

The number of tokens used in the completion of a OpenAI response.

Type: distribution

openai.tokens.total#

The total number of tokens used in the prompt and completion of a OpenAI request/response.

Type: distribution

(beta) Prompt and Completion Sampling#

The following data is collected in span tags with a default sampling rate of 1.0:

  • Prompt inputs and completions for the completions endpoint.

  • Message inputs and completions for the chat.completions endpoint.

  • Embedding inputs for the embeddings endpoint.

  • Edit inputs, instructions, and completions for the edits endpoint.

  • Image input filenames and completion URLs for the images endpoint.

  • Audio input filenames and completions for the audio endpoint.

Prompt and message inputs and completions can also be emitted as log data. Logs are not emitted by default. When logs are enabled they are sampled at 0.1.

Read the Global Configuration section for information about enabling logs and configuring sampling rates.

Important

To submit logs, you must set the DD_API_KEY environment variable.

Set DD_SITE to send logs to a Datadog site such as datadoghq.eu. The default is datadoghq.com.

(beta) Streamed Responses Support#

The OpenAI integration estimates prompt and completion token counts if streaming is turned on. This is because the usage field is no longer returned in streamed completions, which is what the integration relies on for reporting metrics.

Streaming responses should produce a openai.stream span. This span is tagged with estimated completion and total tokens. The integration will make a best effort attempt to tag the original parent openai.request span with completion and total usage information, but this parent span may be flushed before this information is available.

The _est_tokens function implements token count estimations. It returns the average of simple token estimation techniques that do not rely on installing a tokenizer.

Enabling#

The OpenAI integration is enabled automatically when you use ddtrace-run or patch_all().

Note that these commands also enable the requests and aiohttp integrations which trace HTTP requests from the OpenAI library.

Alternatively, use patch() to manually enable the OpenAI integration:

from ddtrace import config, patch

# Note: be sure to configure the integration before calling ``patch()``!
# eg. config.openai["logs_enabled"] = True

patch(openai=True)

# to trace synchronous HTTP requests from the OpenAI library
# patch(openai=True, requests=True)

# to trace asynchronous HTTP requests from the OpenAI library
# patch(openai=True, aiohttp=True)

Global Configuration#

ddtrace.config.openai["service"]

The service name reported by default for OpenAI requests.

Alternatively, you can set this option with the DD_SERVICE or DD_OPENAI_SERVICE environment variables.

Default: DD_SERVICE

ddtrace.config.openai["logs_enabled"]

Enable collection of prompts and completions as logs. You can adjust the rate of prompts and completions collected using the sample rate configuration described below.

Note that you must set the DD_API_KEY environment variable to enable sending logs.

Default: False

ddtrace.config.openai["metrics_enabled"]

Enable collection of OpenAI metrics.

If the Datadog Agent is configured to use a non-default Statsd hostname or port, use DD_DOGSTATSD_URL to configure ddtrace to use it.

Alternatively, you can set this option with the DD_OPENAI_METRICS_ENABLED environment variable.

SQLAlchemy#

Enabling the SQLAlchemy integration is only necessary if there is no instrumentation available or enabled for the underlying database engine (e.g. pymysql, psycopg, mysql-connector, etc.).

To trace sqlalchemy queries, add instrumentation to the engine class using the patch method that must be called before importing sqlalchemy:

# patch before importing `create_engine`
from ddtrace import Pin, patch
patch(sqlalchemy=True)

# use SQLAlchemy as usual
from sqlalchemy import create_engine

engine = create_engine('sqlite:///:memory:')
engine.connect().execute("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM users")

# Use a PIN to specify metadata related to this engine
Pin.override(engine, service='replica-db')

SQLite#

The sqlite integration instruments the built-in sqlite module to trace SQLite queries.

# Use a pin to override the service name for the connection.
Pin.override(db, service='sqlite-users')

cursor = db.cursor()
cursor.execute("select * from users where id = 1")

Tornado#

The Tornado integration traces all RequestHandler defined in a Tornado web application. Auto instrumentation is available using the patch function that must be called before importing the tornado library.

Note: This integration requires Python 3.7 and above for Tornado 5 and 6.

The following is an example:

# patch before importing tornado and concurrent.futures
from ddtrace import tracer, patch
patch(tornado=True)

import tornado.web
import tornado.gen
import tornado.ioloop

# create your handlers
class MainHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler):
    @tornado.gen.coroutine
    def get(self):
        self.write("Hello, world")

# create your application
app = tornado.web.Application([
    (r'/', MainHandler),
])

# and run it as usual
app.listen(8888)
tornado.ioloop.IOLoop.current().start()

When any type of RequestHandler is hit, a request root span is automatically created. If you want to trace more parts of your application, you can use the wrap() decorator and the trace() method as usual:

class MainHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler):
    @tornado.gen.coroutine
    def get(self):
        yield self.notify()
        yield self.blocking_method()
        with tracer.trace('tornado.before_write') as span:
            # trace more work in the handler

    @tracer.wrap('tornado.executor_handler')
    @tornado.concurrent.run_on_executor
    def blocking_method(self):
        # do something expensive

    @tracer.wrap('tornado.notify', service='tornado-notification')
    @tornado.gen.coroutine
    def notify(self):
        # do something

If you are overriding the on_finish or log_exception methods on a RequestHandler, you will need to call the super method to ensure the tracer’s patched methods are called:

class MainHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler):
    @tornado.gen.coroutine
    def get(self):
        self.write("Hello, world")

    def on_finish(self):
        super(MainHandler, self).on_finish()
        # do other clean-up

    def log_exception(self, typ, value, tb):
        super(MainHandler, self).log_exception(typ, value, tb)
        # do other logging

Tornado settings can be used to change some tracing configuration, like:

settings = {
    'datadog_trace': {
        'default_service': 'my-tornado-app',
        'tags': {'env': 'production'},
        'distributed_tracing': False,
        'settings': {
            'FILTERS':  [
                FilterRequestsOnUrl(r'http://test\\.example\\.com'),
            ],
        },
    },
}

app = tornado.web.Application([
    (r'/', MainHandler),
], **settings)

The available settings are:

  • default_service (default: tornado-web): set the service name used by the tracer. Usually this configuration must be updated with a meaningful name. Can also be configured via the DD_SERVICE environment variable.

  • tags (default: {}): set global tags that should be applied to all spans.

  • enabled (default: True): define if the tracer is enabled or not. If set to false, the code is still instrumented but no spans are sent to the APM agent.

  • distributed_tracing (default: None): enable distributed tracing if this is called remotely from an instrumented application. Overrides the integration config which is configured via the DD_TORNADO_DISTRIBUTED_TRACING environment variable. We suggest to enable it only for internal services where headers are under your control.

  • agent_hostname (default: localhost): define the hostname of the APM agent.

  • agent_port (default: 8126): define the port of the APM agent.

  • settings (default: {}): Tracer extra settings used to change, for instance, the filtering behavior.
