Most of our communication is done on gitter.im in the opentelemetry-php channel.

Our meetings are held weekly on zoom on Wednesdays at 10:30am PST / 1:30pm EST.
A Google calendar invite with the included zoom link can be found here

The recommended way to install the library is through Composer:

1.) You'll need to add a

 "minimum-stability": "dev"

To your project's composer.json file, as this utility has not reached a stable release status quite yet.

2.) Install the dependency with composer:

$ composer require open-telemetry/opentelemetry

We use docker and docker-compose to perform a lot of our static analysis and testing.

If you're planning to develop for this library, it'll help to install docker engine and docker-compose.
You can find installation instructions for these packages can be found here, under the Docker Engine and Docker Compose submenus respectively.

You can use the examples/AlwaysSampleTraceExample.php file to test out the reference implementation we have.

The PHP should execute by itself, but if you'd like a no-fuss way to test this out with docker and docker-compose, you can perform the following simple steps:

1.) Start the local zipkin server by running docker-compose up -d
2.) Install the necessary dependencies by running make install. This will install the composer dependencies and store them in /vendor
2.) Execute the example trace using make example.

Exported spans can be seen in zipkin at http://127.0.0.1:9411

We use Phan for static analysis. Currently our phan configuration is just a standard default analysis configuration. You can use our phan docker wrapper to easily perform static analysis on your changes.

Execute make phan from your bash compatible shell.

To make sure the tests in this repo work as you expect, you can use the included docker test wrapper.

Execute make test from your bash compatible shell.

The Span Links concept is not yet implemented.
