Basic Context

These examples show how context is propagated through Spans in OpenTelemetry. There are three different examples:

  • implicit_context: Shows how starting a span implicitly creates context.

  • child_context: Shows how context is propagated through child spans.

  • async_context: Shows how context can be shared in another coroutine.

The source files of these examples are available here.

Installation

pip install opentelemetry-api
pip install opentelemetry-sdk
