# Modules
* New modules: `spring-cloud-sleuth-autoconfigure`, `spring-cloud-sleuth-api`, `spring-cloud-sleuth-instrumentation`
`spring-cloud-sleuth-core` removed and changed to `spring-cloud-sleuth-instrumentation` & `spring-cloud-sleuth-api`
* Removed `spring-cloud-starter-sleuth-otel`
To add OpenTelemetry support you need to add `spring-cloud-starter-sleuth` (adds Brave by default), exclude Brave and add `spring-cloud-sleuth-otel` dependency
* Except for the tests, `spring-cloud-sleuth-autoconfigure` is the only module that can have access to `@Configuration`, `@ConfigurationProperties` classes.
Tests have been added to ensure such separation.
## Package moving
* `org.springframework.cloud.sleuth.api` -> `org.springframework.cloud.sleuth`
* `org.springframework.cloud.sleuth.brave.autoconfig` -> `org.springframework.cloud.sleuth.autoconfig.brave`
* `org.springframework.cloud.sleuth.otel.autoconfig` -> `org.springframework.cloud.sleuth.autoconfig.otel`
* `org.springframework.cloud.sleuth` -> `org.springframework.cloud.sleuth`
* Instrumentation: `org.springframework.cloud.sleuth.annotation` -> `org.springframework.cloud.sleuth.instrument.annotation`
* All the autoconfiguration classes were moved under `org.springframework.cloud/sleuth.autoconfig` package
## Global class modifications
* Any class registered as a bean is now public
## Classes
* `RateLimitingSampler` constructor changed
* Merged a lot of auto configuration classes into one (e.g. `BraveAutoConfiguration` now imports various other configurations)
* Renamed `TraceBraveAutoConfiguration` to `BraveAutoConfiguration`
* Renamed `TraceOtelAutoConfiguration` to `OtelAutoConfiguration`
* Removed all `NoOp` implementations of the API
Spring Cloud Sleuth currently is an autoconfiguration over Brave. It also consists of various instrumentation mechanisms for libraries that are not supported by Brave (e.g. Spring Cloud Circuitbreaker).
We would like to abstract Brave so that Spring Cloud Sleuth becomes an autoconfiguration for any tracer implementation that is compatible with Spring Cloud Sleuth. That way Spring Cloud Sleuth in its core module would consist of an API and various tracer implementations would implement that API which would also allow automatic instrumentation of libraries that are supported by Spring Cloud Sleuth.
## OpenTelemetry Support
Thanks to doing this abstraction we are able to support new tracer implementations, not only Brave. We've decided to add support for the OpenTelemetry SDK as the second one. If in the future if we decide to add new tracers then it will be just a matter of adding a new module that bridges to the Spring Cloud Sleuth one. Thanks to abstraction of tests as well we will be easily able to plug that tracer mechanism into our current suite of tests.
While some overview is important, the direct implementation details of tracing
not only drifted since Sleuth 1.x, but also caused a complaint #1466
This deletes most documentation that applies to an abstraction lower than sleuth
and reworks existing docs to focus on features it enables. By doing so, we have
less to maintain and users will have a clearer idea about the relationship
between Sleuth, Zipkin and Brave. Also important is this uses updated screen
shots and is in general less cluttered than before.
Note: the relationship between Sleuth and Brave was already redone in #1603
Note: this also removes the pws app which is usually broken or out of date.
Fixes#1466
This moves code and properties under org.springframework.cloud.sleuth.baggage
Properties are now under "spring.sleuth.baggage"
Those coming from 2.x should migrate with the following:
* spring.sleuth.baggage-keys -> `BaggagePropagationCustomizer`
* spring.sleuth.local-keys -> spring.sleuth.baggage.local-fields
* spring.sleuth.propagation-keys -> spring.sleuth.baggage.remote-fields
* spring.sleuth.propagation.tag.whitelisted-keys -> spring.sleuth.baggage.tag-fields
* spring.sleuth.log.slf4j.whitelisted-mdc-keys -> spring.sleuth.baggage.correlation-fields
* spring.sleuth.log.slf4j.enabled -> spring.sleuth.baggage.correlation-enabled
Those using MDC should know that for performance reasons, we no longer
set the following fields: `parentId` `spanExportable`.
We also do not set fields to "dirty" by default. Doing this by default
raised the overhead substantially, especially in reactive applications.
Those who want sleuth to override manual `MDC.put` operations as
described in #1416, or with to add back `parentId` `spanExportable` need
to define their own bean:
Ex. this is the former setup:
```java
@Bean CorrelationScopeDecorator oldConfig(List<String> myFieldNames) {
CorrelationScopeDecorator.Builder builder = MDCScopeDecorator.newBuilder().clear()
.add(SingleCorrelationField.create(BaggageFields.TRACE_ID))
.add(SingleCorrelationField.create(BaggageFields.PARENT_ID))
.add(SingleCorrelationField.create(BaggageFields.SPAN_ID))
.add(SingleCorrelationField.newBuilder(BaggageFields.SAMPLED)
.name("spanExportable").build());
// Set all fields dirty, so that any changes made by MDC directly are reverted.
for (String name : myFieldNames) {
builder.add(SingleCorrelationField.newBuilder(BaggageField.create(name))
.dirty().build());
}
return builder.build();
}
```
The `spring.sleuth.baggage-keys` property assigned two headers for each
baggage. This causes unnecessary overhead and can be accomplished in another
way now:
```java
public class MyCode {
static final BaggageField USER_ID = BaggageField.create("userId");
@Autowired CurrentTraceContext currentTraceContext;
@Nullable
public String currentUserId() {
return USER_ID.getValue(currentTraceContext.get());
}
}
// In your @Configuration type, if you want to map multiple prefixes...
@Bean
BaggagePropagationConfig userIdBaggageConfig() {
return SingleBaggageField.newBuilder(MyBaggage.USER_ID)
.addKeyName("baggage-userId")
.addKeyName("baggage_userId")
.build();
}
```
