SigNoz should be installed in your local machine or any server. To install SigNoz follow the instructions at https://signoz.io/docs/deployment/docker/
To show how you can see metrics for External calls and DB calls in Python app, we have created a sample app which uses a database (MongoDB) so that the example is more realistic
If you already have Mongo daemon running, you can skip the following step to install Mongo
Download MongoDB for:
- Mac from https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-os-x/
- Linux from https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/administration/install-on-linux/
- Ubuntu from https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu/
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
opentelemetry-bootstrap --action=install
OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES=service.name=flaskApp OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT="http://<IP of SigNoz>:4317" opentelemetry-instrument python3 app.py
For example:
<IP of SigNoz>
will be localhost
if you are running SigNoz in your localhost. For other installations you can use the same IP where SigNoz is accessible.
Our web server is running in the port 5002 by default. Browse http://localhost:5002
to send requests to this flask server and check the metrics and trace data at http://<IP of SigNoz>:3301
The debug mode can break instrumentation from happening because it enables a reloader. To run instrumentation while the debug mode is enabled, set the use_reloader option to False:
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=5002, debug=True, use_reloader=False)
If you face any problem in instrumenting with OpenTelemetry, refer to docs at https://signoz.io/docs/instrumentation/python
- Run MongoDB using below command:
docker run --rm --name my-mongo -it -dp 27017:27017 mongo:latest
- Run sample-flask-app using docker image
docker run -e MONGO_HOST='IP_MONGO_HOST' -e OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES='service.name=pythonApp' -e OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT='http://<IP of SigNoz>:4317' -dp 5002:5002 signoz/sample-flask-app:latest
IP_MONGO_HOST will be docker.for.mac.localhost
when running in localhost on Mac
docker-compose up -d
Optional Build docker image
docker build --no-cache -t signoz/sample-flask-app:latest .
