In otelsdk: 'R' 'SDK' and Exporters for 'OpenTelemetry'

In-memory meter provider for testing

Description

Collects metrics measurements in memory. This is useful for testing your instrumented R package or application.

with_otel_record() uses this meter provider. Use with_otel_record() in your tests to record telemetry and check that it is correct.

Value

meter_provider_memory$new() returns an otel::otel_meter_provider object. mp$get_metrics() returns a named list of recorded metrics.

meter_provider_memory$options() returns a named list, the current values for all options.

Usage

mp <- meter_provider_memory$new(opts = NULL)
mp$get_metrics()
meter_provider_memory$options()

mp$get_metrics() erases the internal buffer of the meter provider.

Arguments

• opts: Named list of options. See below.

Options

Memory exporter options

• buffer_size: buffer size, this is the maximum number of spans or metrics measurements that the provider can record. Must be positive. Value is set from

  • the opts argument, or

  • the OTEL_R_EXPORTER_MEMORY_METRICS_BUFFER_SIZE environment variable, or

  • the OTEL_R_EXPORTER_MEMORY_BUFFER_SIZE environment variable, or

  • the default is 100.

Metric reader options

• export_interval: the time interval between the start of two export attempts, in milliseconds. Value is set from

  • the opts argument, or

  • the OTEL_METRIC_EXPORT_INTERVAL environment variable, or

  • the default is 60000.

• export_timeout: Maximum allowed time to export data, in milliseconds. Value is set from

  • the opts argument, or

  • the OTEL_METRIC_EXPORT_TIMEOUT environment variable, or

  • the default is 30000.

Metric exporter options

• aggregation_temporality: possible values: "unspecified", "delta", "cumulative", "lowmemory". See the OpenTelemetry data model. Value is set from

  • the opts argument, or

  • the OTEL_R_EXPORTER_OTLP_AGGREGATION_TEMPORALITY environment variable, or
