[![Gitter chat][gitter-image]][gitter-url]

OpenCensus Stackdriver Exporter allows the user to send collected traces with OpenCensus Node.js to Stackdriver.

This project is still at an early stage of development. It's subject to change.

Installation

Install OpenCensus Stackdriver Exporter with:
``bash
npm install @opencensus/nodejs
npm install @opencensus/exporter-stackdriver
`

Usage

To use Stackdriver as your exporter, make sure you have enabled Stackdriver Tracing on Google Cloud Platform. Enable your Application Default Credentials for authentication with:

`bash
export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=path/to/your/credential.json
`

Instance the exporter on your application and pass your Project ID. For javascript:

`javascript
var tracing = require('@opencensus/nodejs');
var stackdriver = require('@opencensus/exporter-stackdriver');

// Add your project id to the Stackdriver options
var exporter = new stackdriver.StackdriverTraceExporter({projectId: "your-project-id"});

tracing.registerExporter(exporter).start();
`

Similarly for Typescript:

`typescript
import * as tracing from '@opencensus/nodejs';
import { StackdriverTraceExporter } from '@opencensus/exporter-stackdriver';

// Add your project id to the Stackdriver options
const exporter = new StackdriverTraceExporter({projectId: "your-project-id"});
`

Now, register the exporter and start tracing.

`javascript
tracing.start({'exporter': exporter});
`

or

`javascript
tracing.registerExporter(exporter).start();
``
