SpanContext class

SpanContext represents Span state that must propagate to descendant Spans and across process boundaries.

SpanContext is logically divided into two pieces: the user-level "Baggage" (see setBaggageItem and getBaggageItem) that propagates across Span boundaries and any Tracer-implementation-specific fields that are needed to identify or otherwise contextualize the associated Span instance (e.g., a <trace_id, span_id, sampled> tuple).

Constructors

SpanContext({dynamic traceId, dynamic spanId, bool sampled = false})
Returns a new SpanContext.

Properties

baggage Map
Baggage is a set of key:value pairs stored in a Span (and its SpanContext) and propagated in-band to all child Spans and their SpanContexts: in this way, the “Baggage” travels with the trace, hence the name. Given a full-stack OpenTracing integration, Baggage enables powerful functionality by transparently propagating arbitrary application data: for example, an end-user id may be added as a Baggage item in a mobile app, propagate (via the distributed tracing machinery) into the depths of a storage system, and recovered at the bottom of the stack to identify a particularly expensive SQL query.

Methods

forEachBaggageItem(Function baggageHandler) → void
ForeachBaggageItem grants access to all baggage items stored in the SpanContext. The handler function will be called for each baggage key/value pair. The ordering of items is not guaranteed.
getBaggageItem(dynamic key) → dynamic
Returns the value for a baggage item given its key.
noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic
Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.
inherited
setBaggageItem(String key, dynamic value) → void
Sets a key:value pair on this SpanContext that also propagates to future children of the associated Span.
toString() String
A string representation of this object.
