API for propagation of context.
The propagators for the
``opentelemetry.propagators.composite.CompositePropagator`` can be defined
via configuration in the ``OTEL_PROPAGATORS`` environment variable. This
variable should be set to a comma-separated string of names of values for the
``opentelemetry_propagator`` entry point. For example, setting
``OTEL_PROPAGATORS`` to ``tracecontext,baggage`` (which is the default value)
would instantiate
``opentelemetry.propagators.composite.CompositePropagator`` with 2
propagators, one of type
``opentelemetry.trace.propagation.tracecontext.TraceContextTextMapPropagator``
and other of type ``opentelemetry.baggage.propagation.W3CBaggagePropagator``.
Notice that these propagator classes are defined as
``opentelemetry_propagator`` entry points in the ``pyproject.toml`` file of
``opentelemetry``.
Example::
import flask
import requests
from opentelemetry import propagate
PROPAGATOR = propagate.get_global_textmap()
def get_header_from_flask_request(request, key):
return request.headers.get_all(key)
def set_header_into_requests_request(request: requests.Request,
key: str, value: str):
request.headers[key] = value
def example_route():
context = PROPAGATOR.extract(
get_header_from_flask_request,
flask.request
)
request_to_downstream = requests.Request(
"GET", "http://httpbin.org/get"
)
PROPAGATOR.inject(
set_header_into_requests_request,
request_to_downstream,
context=context
)
session = requests.Session()
session.send(request_to_downstream.prepare())
