    • Method Detail

      • start

        Context start​(String methodName,
              Context context)
        Creates a new tracing span.

        The context will be checked for information about a parent span. If a parent span is found, the new span will be added as a child. Otherwise, the parent span will be created and added to the context and any downstream start() calls will use the created span as the parent.

        Code samples

        Starts a tracing span with provided method name and explicit parent span

         // start a new tracing span with given name and parent context implicitly propagated
 // in io.opentelemetry.context.Context.current()
 Context traceContext = tracer.start("keyvault.setsecret", Context.NONE);
 System.out.printf("OpenTelemetry Context with started `keyvault.setsecret` span: %s%n",
     traceContext.getData(PARENT_TRACE_CONTEXT_KEY).get());
        Parameters:
        methodName - Name of the method triggering the span creation.
        context - Additional metadata that is passed through the call stack.
        Returns:
        The updated Context object containing the returned span.
        Throws:
        NullPointerException - if methodName or context is null.
