show imported packages in example snippets

9

Examples currently don't include the import paths of the referred packages, thus often requiring the user to refer to the actual example go file to copy paste the correct imports....

Don't trace health endpoints

16

Tracing canonical HTTP health endpoints such as /healthz and /_ah/health generate lots of traces. This results in additional high cost when collecting and storing spans for these endpoints, as well...

Improve the not ideal span names

16

According to the current HTTP tracing specs, spans are named after path or route. This ends up us creating a lot of empty span names, e.g. if we make an...

Allow spans to be annotated by a service name

4

Moving https://github.com/census-instrumentation/opencensus-go/issues/604 to opencensus-specs. Issue originally suggests: Using the jaeger exporter it seems like the service name is fixed on creation of the Exporter struct: ``` exporter, err := jaeger.NewExporter(jaeger.Options{...

Define behavior to trace chunked and multipart HTTP requests

2

Discuss and define behavior how to handle chunked and multipart HTTP requests. For example, we might create message events for each section. See https://github.com/census-instrumentation/opencensus-specs/pull/60#discussion_r174016641 for context.

Specify the instrumentation requirements for exporters

3

Exporters do outgoing requests to upload data to specific backends. The current OpenCensus exporters don't provide a unified experience when it comes to instrumentation these outgoing requests. Some exporters don't...

TraceParams are not mentioning the buffer limit

4

There is a requirement to set the default buffer size globally (see https://github.com/census-instrumentation/opencensus-go/pull/824) but this setting is not represented in [TraceParams](https://github.com/census-instrumentation/opencensus-specs/blob/master/trace/TraceConfig.md#traceparams). In order to have a more predictable API from...

Trace limits cannot be measures

4

https://github.com/census-instrumentation/opencensus-specs/pull/141 introduces the concept of tracking the number of dropped entities by using measures. There are a few problems with this approach: * For a user who only wants to...

Specify an exporter configuration format

5

Most non-library OpenCensus user swill have to load some configuration to initialize the exporters. Specify a common configuration format for the exporters so that OpenCensus community can reuse the same...
