Option Name
Environment Variable
Type
Default
Description
aspecto_auth
ASPECTO_AUTH
UUID string
-
Aspecto's API key for authentication
service_name
OTEL_SERVICE_NAME
string
-
Name of the service which is sending telemetry
env
ASPECTO_ENV
string
Extracted from Rails or Sinatra if used
Deployment environment: production / staging / development, etc.
log_level
OTEL_LOG_LEVEL
string
ERROR
ERROR / WARN / INFO, etc.
sampling_ratio
ASPECTO_SAMPLING_RATIO
float
1.0
How many of the traces starting in this service should be sampled. set to number in range [0.0, 1.0] where 0.0 is no sampling, and 1.0 is sample all
require_config_for_traces
ASPECTO_REQUIRE_CONFIG_FOR_TRACES
boolean
false
When true, the SDK will not trace anything until remote sampling configuration arrives (few hundreds ms). Can be used to enforce sampling configuration is always applied, with the cost of losing traces generated during service startup
otel_exporter_otlp_traces_endpoint
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TRACES_ENDPOINT

Url
extract_b3_context
ASPECTO_EXTRACT_B3_CONTEXT
boolean
false
Set to true when the service receives requests from another instrumented component that propagate context via B3 protocol multi or single header. For example: Envoy Proxy, Ambassador and Istio
inject_b3_context_single_header
ASPECTO_INJECT_B3_CONTEXT_SINGLE_HEADER
boolean
false
Set to true when the service send traffic to another instrumented component that propagate context via B3 single header protocol
inject_b3_context_multi_header

boolean
false
Set to true when the service send traffic to another instrumented component that propagate context via B3 multi header protocol. For example: Envoy Proxy, Istio
