Opentelemetry: setting span time?

danielbr
Advisor

Hi,

I'm  able to capture spans with Oneagent.
However,  in my app I try to set a defined time for the spans:

 

Span span1 = spanbuilder1.setStartTimestamp(timestamp1.getTime(),TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS).startSpan();
span1.end(endtimestamp1.getTime(), TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);

 

However, on the PP I see the recorded times.
Am i doing something wrong or is this feature not yet available ?

Hi Daniel,

 

Actually custom timestamps are not supported, but support for this is on the roadmap.

Hi Harry,
Really appreciate your answer, I've been busting my head over this!

May I ask - is this true for both Oneagent and the Trace Ingest API?

Daniel

This limitation only applies to OneAgent/OpenTel integration at the moment.

 

For Trace Ingest, custom timestamps are supported (assuming the the used OpenTelemetry SDK supports it, which is usually the case).

Hi,

Alright,  thank you !

Daniel
