@aspecto/plugin-mongodb NPM

OpenTelemetry mongodb Instrumentation for Node.js

This is a fork of the plugin, to add features required by aspecto until they are merged into the main repo and published.

This module provides automatic instrumentation for mongodb.

For automatic instrumentation see the @opentelemetry/node package.

Installation

npm install --save @opentelemetry/plugin-mongodb

Supported Versions

'>=2.0.0 <4

Usage

OpenTelemetry Mongodb Instrumentation allows the user to automatically collect trace data and export them to their backend of choice, to give observability to distributed systems.

To load a specific plugin (mongodb in this case), specify it in the Node Tracer's configuration.

const { NodeTracerProvider } = require('@opentelemetry/node');

const provider = new NodeTracerProvider({
  plugins: {
    mongodb: {
      enabled: true,
      // You may use a package name or absolute path to the file.
      path: '@opentelemetry/plugin-mongodb',
    }
  }
});

To load all of the supported plugins, use below approach. Each plugin is only loaded when the module that it patches is loaded; in other words, there is no computational overhead for listing plugins for unused modules.

const { NodeTracerProvider } = require('@opentelemetry/node');

const provider = new NodeTracerProvider();

See examples/mongodb for a short example.
