OpenTelemetry MySQL Instrumentation allows the user to automatically collect trace data and export them to the backend of choice (we can use Zipkin or Jaeger for this example), to give observability to distributed systems.

This is a modification of the HTTP example that executes multiple parallel requests that interact with a MySQL server backend using the mysql npm module. The example displays traces using multiple connection methods.

• Direct Connection Query
• Pool Connection Query
• Cluster Pool Connection Query

$ # from this directory
$ npm install

Setup Zipkin Tracing or Setup Jaeger Tracing

• Run the server

  $ # from this directory
  $ npm run server

• Run the client

  $ # from this directory
  $ npm run client

server script should output the traceid in the terminal (e.g traceid: 4815c3d576d930189725f1f1d1bdfcc6). Go to Zipkin with your browser http://localhost:9411/zipkin/traces/(your-trace-id) (e.g http://localhost:9411/zipkin/traces/4815c3d576d930189725f1f1d1bdfcc6)

• Run the server

  $ # from this directory
  $ npm run server

• Run the client

  $ # from this directory
  $ npm run client

server script should output the traceid in the terminal (e.g traceid: 4815c3d576d930189725f1f1d1bdfcc6). Go to Jaeger with your browser http://localhost:16686/trace/(your-trace-id) (e.g http://localhost:16686/trace/4815c3d576d930189725f1f1d1bdfcc6)
