Trace background processes

[sebastien-savalle]

Hi,

We have an application using this package to trace incoming requests and to capture some metrics. This works pretty well on BTP with the one agent sdk. We would like to add monitoring for internal scheduled processes. We have added open telemetry span but we are not able to retrieve them in Dynatrace.

Could you help ? Thanks, Sebastien

    const span = tracer.startSpan(taskConfiguration.name, {
      root: true,
      kind: SpanKind.INTERNAL
    });
    try {
      await task.run(taskConfiguration.name, taskConfiguration.config);
      span.setStatus({ code: SpanStatusCode.OK });
    } catch (error) {
      span.recordException(error);
      span.setStatus({ code: SpanStatusCode.ERROR, message: error.message });
    } finally {
      span.end();
    }

hi @sebastien-savalle

i'd need a bit more context. what are tracer and task in your code snippet?

for tasks, we offer cds.spawn, which is trace enabled.

best, sebastian
