Class GlobalTracer

java.lang.Object

io.opentracing.util.GlobalTracer

All Implemented Interfaces:

Tracer

public final class GlobalTracer
extends Object
implements Tracer

Global tracer that forwards all methods to another tracer that can be configured by calling register(Tracer).

The register method should only be called once during the application initialization phase.
If the register method is never called, the default NoopTracer is used.

Method Detail

get

public static Tracer get()

Returns the constant GlobalTracer.

All methods are forwarded to the currently configured tracer.
Until a tracer is explicitly configured, the NoopTracer is used.

Returns:

The global tracer constant.

See Also:

register(Tracer)

register

public static void register(Tracer tracer)

Register a Tracer to back the behaviour of the global tracer.

Registration is a one-time operation, attempting to call it more often will result in a runtime exception.

Every application intending to use the global tracer is responsible for registering it once during its initialization.

Parameters:

tracer - Tracer to use as global tracer.

Throws:

RuntimeException - if there is already a current tracer registered
