Wavefront supports a suite of open source SDKs that developers can use to instrument applications for observability. The instrumented application collects and sends metrics, histograms, and/or trace data to Wavefront for storage and visualization.
This repository contains documentation common to several Wavefront SDKs. We expect that you'll read this information as part of learning about one of the SDKs. It's not meant for standalone consumption.
Note: For details on our SDKs and how to use them, click one of the links in the table below.
The common content is categorized based on the language. For example, the java directory includes all the documentation that is common to the Wavefront Java SDKs.
| SDK Type | SDK Description | Supported Languages |
|---|---|---|
| OpenTracing SDK | Implements the OpenTracing specification. Lets you define, collect, and report custom trace data from any part of your application code. Automatically derives RED metrics from the reported spans. |
|
| Metrics SDK | Implements a standard metrics library. Lets you define, collect, and report custom business metrics and histograms from any part of your application code. |
|
| Framework SDK | Reports predefined traces, metrics, and histograms from the APIs of a supported app framework. Lets you get started quickly with minimal code changes. |
|
| Sender SDK | Lets you send raw values to Wavefront for storage as metrics, histograms, or traces, e.g., to import CSV data into Wavefront. |
