# NOTE This is a small wrapper around opentelemetry because tracing is optional
# and not always packaged downstream. Since opentelemetry instrumentation is
# fairly invasive it was awkward to make it optional. As a result we opted to
# encapsulate all opentelemetry state in these methods which effectively noop if
# opentelemetry is not present. We should strongly consider encouraging the
# downstream distributers to package opentelemetry and making opentelemetry a
# full dependency. In order to facilitate this move the methods have work very
# similarly to opentelemetry's and it should only be a matter of few regexes to
# move over to opentelemetry's access patterns proper.

"""
============================
Using OpenTelemetry in Synapse
============================

Python-specific tracing concepts are at
https://opentelemetry.io/docs/instrumentation/python/. Note that Synapse wraps
OpenTelemetry in a small module (this one) in order to make the OpenTelemetry
dependency optional. That means that some access patterns are different to those
demonstrated in the OpenTelemetry guides. However, it is still useful to know,
especially if OpenTelemetry is included as a full dependency in the future or if
you are modifying this module.


OpenTelemetry is encapsulated so that no span objects from OpenTelemetry are
exposed in Synapse's code. This allows OpenTelemetry to be easily disabled in
Synapse and thereby have OpenTelemetry as an optional dependency. This does
however limit the number of modifiable spans at any point in the code to one.
From here out references to `tracing` in the code snippets refer to the Synapses
module. Most methods provided in the module have a direct correlation to those
provided by OpenTelemetry. Refer to docs there for a more in-depth documentation
on some of the args and methods.

Tracing
-------

In Synapse, it is not possible to start a non-active span. Spans can be started
using the ``start_active_span`` method. This returns a context manager that
needs to be entered and exited to expose the ``span``. This is usually done by
using a ``with`` statement.

.. code-block:: python

   from synapse.logging.tracing import start_active_span

   with start_active_span("operation name"):
       # Do something we want to trace

Forgetting to enter or exit a scope will result in unstarted and unfinished
spans that will not be reported (exported).

At anytime where there is an active span ``set_attribute`` can be
used to set a tag on the current active span.

Tracing functions
-----------------

Functions can be easily traced using decorators. The name of the function
becomes the operation name for the span.

.. code-block:: python

   from synapse.logging.tracing import trace

   # Start a span using 'interesting_function' as the operation name
   @trace
   def interesting_function(*args, **kwargs):
       # Does all kinds of cool and expected things return
       something_usual_and_useful


Operation names can be explicitly set for a function by using
``trace_with_opname``:

.. code-block:: python

   from synapse.logging.tracing import trace_with_opname

   @trace_with_opname("a_better_operation_name")
   def interesting_badly_named_function(*args, **kwargs):
       # Does all kinds of cool and expected things return
       something_usual_and_useful

Setting Tags
------------

To set a tag on the active span do

.. code-block:: python

   from synapse.logging.tracing import set_attribute

   set_attribute(tag_name, tag_value)

There's a convenient decorator to tag all the args of the method. It uses
inspection in order to use the formal parameter names prefixed with 'ARG_' as
tag names. It uses kwarg names as tag names without the prefix.

.. code-block:: python
   from synapse.logging.tracing import tag_args
   @tag_args
   def set_fates(clotho, lachesis, atropos, father="Zues", mother="Themis"):
       pass
   set_fates("the story", "the end", "the act")
   # This will have the following tags
   #  - ARG_clotho: "the story"
   #  - ARG_lachesis: "the end"
   #  - ARG_atropos: "the act"
   #  - father: "Zues"
   #  - mother: "Themis"

Contexts and carriers
---------------------

There are a selection of wrappers for injecting and extracting contexts from
carriers provided. We use these to inject of OpenTelemetry Contexts into
Twisted's http headers, EDU contents and our database tables. Please refer to
the end of ``logging/tracing.py`` for the available injection and extraction
methods.

Homeserver whitelisting
-----------------------

Most of the whitelist checks are encapsulated in the modules's injection and
extraction method but be aware that using custom carriers or crossing
unchartered waters will require the enforcement of the whitelist.
``logging/tracing.py`` has a ``whitelisted_homeserver`` method which takes
in a destination and compares it to the whitelist.

Most injection methods take a 'destination' arg. The context will only be
injected if the destination matches the whitelist or the destination is None.

=======
Gotchas
=======

- Checking whitelists on span propagation
- Inserting pii
- Forgetting to enter or exit a scope
- Span source: make sure that the span you expect to be active across a function
  call really will be that one. Does the current function have more than one
  caller? Will all of those calling functions have be in a context with an
  active span?
