|

|
<h2 id="background"><a class="header" href="#background">Background</a></h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>OpenTracing is a semi-standard being adopted by a number of distributed
|
||
|
|
tracing platforms. It is a common api for facilitating vendor-agnostic
|
||
|
|
tracing instrumentation. That is, we can use the OpenTracing api and
|
||
|
|
select one of a number of tracer implementations to do the heavy lifting
|
||
|
|
in the background. Our current selected implementation is Jaeger.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>OpenTracing is a tool which gives an insight into the causal
|
||
|
|
relationship of work done in and between servers. The servers each track
|
||
|
|
events and report them to a centralised server - in Synapse's case:
|
||
|
|
Jaeger. The basic unit used to represent events is the span. The span
|
||
|
|
roughly represents a single piece of work that was done and the time at
|
||
|
|
which it occurred. A span can have child spans, meaning that the work of
|
||
|
|
the child had to be completed for the parent span to complete, or it can
|
||
|
|
have follow-on spans which represent work that is undertaken as a result
|
||
|
|
of the parent but is not depended on by the parent to in order to
|
||
|
|
finish.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Since this is undertaken in a distributed environment a request to
|
||
|
|
another server, such as an RPC or a simple GET, can be considered a span
|
||
|
|
(a unit or work) for the local server. This causal link is what
|
||
|
|
OpenTracing aims to capture and visualise. In order to do this metadata
|
||
|
|
about the local server's span, i.e the 'span context', needs to be
|
||
|
|
included with the request to the remote.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>It is up to the remote server to decide what it does with the spans it
|
||
|
|
creates. This is called the sampling policy and it can be configured
|
||
|
|
through Jaeger's settings.</p>

<h2 id="setting-up-opentracing"><a class="header" href="#setting-up-opentracing">Setting up OpenTracing</a></h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>To receive OpenTracing spans, start up a Jaeger server. This can be done
|
||
|
|
using docker like so:</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre><code class="language-sh">docker run -d --name jaeger \
|
||
|
|
-p 6831:6831/udp \
|
||
|
|
-p 6832:6832/udp \
|
||
|
|
-p 5778:5778 \
|
||
|
|
-p 16686:16686 \
|
||
|
|
-p 14268:14268 \

|
<h2 id="enable-opentracing-in-synapse"><a class="header" href="#enable-opentracing-in-synapse">Enable OpenTracing in Synapse</a></h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>OpenTracing is not enabled by default. It must be enabled in the
|
||
|
|
homeserver config by uncommenting the config options under <code>opentracing</code>
|
||
|
|
as shown in the <a href="./sample_config.yaml">sample config</a>. For example:</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre><code class="language-yaml">opentracing:
|
||
|
|
enabled: true
|
||
|
|
homeserver_whitelist:
|
||
|
|
- "mytrustedhomeserver.org"
|
||
|
|
- "*.myotherhomeservers.com"
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
<h2 id="homeserver-whitelisting"><a class="header" href="#homeserver-whitelisting">Homeserver whitelisting</a></h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>The homeserver whitelist is configured using regular expressions. A list
|
||
|
|
of regular expressions can be given and their union will be compared
|
||
|
|
when propagating any spans contexts to another homeserver.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Though it's mostly safe to send and receive span contexts to and from
|
||
|
|
untrusted users since span contexts are usually opaque ids it can lead
|
||
|
|
to two problems, namely:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>If the span context is marked as sampled by the sending homeserver
|
||
|
|
the receiver will sample it. Therefore two homeservers with wildly
|
||
|
|
different sampling policies could incur higher sampling counts than
|
||
|
|
intended.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Sending servers can attach arbitrary data to spans, known as
|
||
|
|
'baggage'. For safety this has been disabled in Synapse but that
|
||
|
|
doesn't prevent another server sending you baggage which will be
|
||
|
|
logged to OpenTracing's logs.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
