Instrumentation

OpenTelemetry Integration

The runtime automatically captures incoming/outgoing requests. However, you often want to trace internal logic.

Python Example

Use the standard OpenTelemetry SDK. The sidecar acts as the collector agent.

from opentelemetry import trace

tracer = trace.get_tracer(__name__)

def process_data(data):
    with tracer.start_as_current_span("heavy_processing"):
        # Your slow logic here
        pass

Logging

Just print to stdout/stderr. Consonant captures these logs and correlates them with the active trace ID.

import logging

# This log will appear in the dashboard linked to the specific request
logging.info("Processing user request...")
