Application Insights Distributed Tracing for Queue Messages

Open plamber opened this issue 3 years ago • 7 comments

Is your question related to a specific version? If so, please specify:

Azure.Function.Extension 1.1.0 Microsoft.NET.SDK.Functions 4.0.1 C#

Question

We have some Azure Functions using Queue triggers. In some situations these functions are linked with each other. I would like to link the activities of these functions using Application Insights distributed tracing. Unfortunately, I haven't found the way to do this on the official documentation or in the existing issues.

I tried to use the Activity.Current.SetParent method. But this one cannot be used to link activities if the application insights activity already started.

Do you have some suggestions how I could achieve this goal? Is there some code that I could overwrite with dependency injection?

Thank you for your help, Patrick

Hi @Ved2806, thank you for the link. Does it mean that the only way to achieve this is by creating new activities every time?

Thank you, Patrick

Hi @plamber Do you still have this issue?

Ved2806 avatar Aug 11 '22 14:08 Ved2806

Hi @Ved2806, I haven't touched on this topic since then. I still need to figure out an elegant way to avoid code repetitions in the functions.

Cheers

Hi @plamber Storage queue does not support context propagation. If you have the traceparent, you can start a new Activity by passing ActivityContext. This will start a new activity and set the right parent. If you happen to use other triggers like service bus and event hub, there's inbuilt support of context propagation.
