Django gunicorn auto instrumentation
Currently, Django autoinstrumentation supports flask and uWSGI servers. However, when running django app using gunicorn server, the autoinstrumentation does not work.
This is the command I am trying to run.
opentelemetry-instrument --trace-exporter zipkin_json python3.8 gunicorn ${DJANGO_WSGI_MODULE}:application --name ${NAME} --bind=127.0.0.1:80 --preload
The app starts fine, but doesn't report any traces to zipkin.
It is not supported by the opentelemetry-instrument command. Docs mention it and explain how to instrument gunicorn based services: https://opentelemetry-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples/fork-process-model/README.html?highlight=gunicorn#working-with-fork-process-models
I'd like to leave this open in the hope of adding native support for gunicorn to the opentelemetry-instrument command.
AFAIK, even the post_fork hook doesn't work with auto-instrumentation using the way it is explained in the docs. The doc explains manual way of instrumenting. Probably we can update the docs to explain how to auto-instrument guincorn based services as well.
we need to add the following to initialize auto-instrumentation
from opentelemetry.instrumentation.auto_instrumentation import sitecustomize in the post_fork method.
I remember using Gunicorn with auto instrumentation and see it emit traces while debugging some issue.
