Example for go-redis OpenTelemetry instrumentation

This example demonstrates how to monitor Redis using OpenTelemetry and Uptrace. It requires Docker to start Redis Server and Uptrace.

See Monitoring Go Redis Performance and Errors for details.

Step 1. Download the example using Git:

git clone https://github.com/go-redis/redis.git
cd example/otel

Step 2. Start the services using Docker:

docker-compose pull
docker-compose up -d

Step 3. Make sure Uptrace is running:

docker-compose logs uptrace

Step 4. Run the Redis client example:

UPTRACE_DSN=http://project2_secret_token@localhost:14317/2 go run client.go

Step 5. Follow the link from the CLI to view the trace:

UPTRACE_DSN=http://project2_secret_token@localhost:14317/2 go run client.go
trace: http://localhost:14318/traces/ee029d8782242c8ed38b16d961093b35
