OpenTelemetry Baggage Span and Log Record Processor

The BaggageSpanProcessor and BaggageLogRecordProcessor read entries stored in Baggage from the parent context and adds the baggage keys and values to the Span, respectively LogRecord, as attributes on start, respectively emit.

Add these span and log processors to the tracer and logger providers.

Warning!

To repeat: a consequence of adding data to Baggage is that the keys and values will appear in all outgoing trace and log context headers from the application.

Do not put sensitive information in Baggage.

Usage

Usage with SDK auto-configuration

If you are using the OpenTelemetry SDK auto-configuration, you can add the span and log baggage processors through configuration.

Property Description
otel.java.experimental.span-attributes.copy-from-baggage.include Add baggage entries as span attributes, e.g. key1,key2 or * to add all baggage items as keys.
otel.java.experimental.log-attributes.copy-from-baggage.include Add baggage entries as log attributes, e.g. key1,key2 or * to add all baggage items as keys.

Usage through programmatic activation

Add the span and log processor when configuring the tracer and logger providers.

To configure the span and log processors to copy all baggage entries during configuration:

import io.opentelemetry.contrib.baggage.processor;
// ...

TracerProvider tracerProvider = SdkTracerProvider.builder()
    .addSpanProcessor(BaggageSpanProcessor.allowAllBaggageKeys())
    .build();

LoggerProvider loggerProvider = SdkLoggerProvider.builder()
    .addLogRecordProcessor(BaggageLogRecordProcessor.allowAllBaggageKeys())
    .build();

Alternatively, you can provide a custom baggage key predicate to select which baggage keys you want to copy.

For example, to only copy baggage entries that start with my-key:

new BaggageSpanProcessor(baggageKey -> baggageKey.startsWith("my-key"));
new BaggageLogRecordProcessor(baggageKey -> baggageKey.startsWith("my-key"));

For example, to only copy baggage entries that match the regex ^key.+:

Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("^key.+");
new BaggageSpanProcessor(baggageKey -> pattern.matcher(baggageKey).matches());
new BaggageLogRecordProcessor(baggageKey -> pattern.matcher(baggageKey).matches());
