Support for OpenTracing #54

Open TuomasKiviaho opened 5 years ago

TuomasKiviaho commented 5 years ago

I was looking over https://docs.humio.com/sending-data-to-humio/ and noticed that there is no direct OpenTracing alternative. I could probably try it via ElasticSearch Bulk support https://github.com/opentracing-contrib/java-elasticsearch-client but I feel that pieces and bits might be missing on either side.

Hi @TuomasKiviaho,

Sorry for the delay answering.

We have no direct support for OpenTracing or other tracing protocols, but as you also state we support the ElasticSearch bulk API, so using that would probably be a good option.

I'm not sure the link you provided will do the job though. It's readme says : "OpenTracing instrumentation for Elasticsearch clients", so I think it just instruments the client and does no shipping of the traces themselves.

If you can get your traces written to a file, then an option might be to use Filebeat to ship them to Humio. Would that work for you?
