Warning

OpenCensus and OpenTracing have merged to form OpenTelemetry, which serves as the next major version of OpenCensus and OpenTracing.

OpenTelemetry has now reached feature parity with OpenCensus, with tracing and metrics SDKs available in .NET, Golang, Java, NodeJS, and Python. All OpenCensus Github repositories, except census-instrumentation/opencensus-python, will be archived on July 31st, 2023. We encourage users to migrate to OpenTelemetry by this date.

To help you gradually migrate your instrumentation to OpenTelemetry, bridges are available in Java, Go, Python, and JS. Read the full blog post to learn more.

OpenCensus C++ Example

This is an example project using opencensus-cpp for instrumentation.

Quickstart:

$ git clone https://github.com/census-ecosystem/opencensus-cpp-example.git
$ cd opencensus-cpp-example
$ bazel build //trace:example //helloworld:helloworld //grpc:all
$ bazel-bin/trace/example
$ bazel-bin/helloworld/helloworld
$ bazel-bin/grpc/hello_server 9001

# While the server is running:

$ bazel-bin/grpc/hello_client '[::]:9001'
