Tracing

Apollo

To enable Apollo tracing you can use the ApolloTracingExtension provided:

from strawberry.extensions.tracing import ApolloTracingExtension

schema = strawberry.Schema(query=Query, extensions=[ApolloTracingExtension])

Note that if you’re not running under ASGI you’d need to use the sync version of ApolloTracingExtension:

from strawberry.extensions.tracing import ApolloTracingExtensionSync

schema = strawberry.Schema(query=Query, extensions=[ApolloTracingExtensionSync])

Datadog

In addition to Apollo Tracing we also support tracing with Datadog . using the DatadogTracingExtension.

from strawberry.extensions.tracing import DatadogTracingExtension

schema = strawberry.Schema(query=Query, extensions=[DatadogTracingExtension])

Note that if you’re not running under ASGI you’d need to use the sync version of DatadogTracingExtension:

from strawberry.extensions.tracing import DatadogTracingExtensionSync

schema = strawberry.Schema(query=Query, extensions=[DatadogTracingExtensionSync])

Open Telemetry

In addition to Datadog and Apollo Tracing we also support opentelemetry , using the OpenTelemetryExtension.

You also need to install the extras for opentelemetry by doing:

pip install 'strawberry-graphql[opentelemetry]'

from strawberry.extensions.tracing import OpenTelemetryExtension

schema = strawberry.Schema(query=Query, extensions=[OpenTelemetryExtension])

Note that if you’re not running under ASGI you’d need to use the sync version of OpenTelemetryExtension:

from strawberry.extensions.tracing import OpenTelemetryExtensionSync

schema = strawberry.Schema(query=Query, extensions=[OpenTelemetryExtensionSync])

Example Elasticsearch, Kibana, APM, Collector docker-compose to track django and strawberry tracing metrics

This will spin up:

an elastic search instance to keep your data
kibana to visualize data
the elastic APM Server for processing incoming traces
a collector binding to transform the opentelemetry data (more exactly the Opentelementry Line Protocol OTLP) to something AMP can read (our APM agent )
