Upgrading from 1.x to 2.0

Upgrading from 1.x to 2.0 introduces some breaking changes which are outlined below.

Basic Usage

In most cases, (e.g. when you use out-of-the-box instrumentation and a configuration file) only minor changes to your current setup are needed: most applications take just minutes to update.

• Renaming the Gem
• Requires Ruby 2.5+
• Extracts datadog-ci gem
• Configuration changes
  • Replace use with instrument
  • Type checking
  • Propagation default
  • Options

---

Advanced Usage

If you have custom instrumentation, sampling or processing behavior, additional changes may be required. See the following sections for details about what features changed and how to use them.

• Frozen String Literal
• Tracing API
• Configuration API
• Log Correlation
• Distributed Tracing
• Transport
• Sampling

---

Upgrade Instrumentations

Outlines the changes for our instrumentations.

• Error Handling
• Option error_status_codes
• List of Integration changes

Basic Usage

Rename to `datadog` gem

The gem now includes new capabilities (Profiling, Application Security Monitoring) that extend beyond tracing. To better reflect the broad set of features already within this package, and our intention for this package to be an all-inclusive offering, the existing gem has been renamed to datadog.

This name change does not reflect any material change to existing capabilities in 2.0, but future 2.x versions may include additional capabilities or products.

Make sure to update Gemfile:

# === Before ===
gem 'ddtrace', '~> 1.0', require: 'ddtrace/auto_instrument'

# === After rename to `datadog` with 2.x ===
gem 'datadog', '~> 2.0', require: 'datadog/auto_instrument'

Requires Ruby 2.5+

The minimum Ruby version requirement is 2.5.0. For prior Ruby versions, you can use ddtrace 1.x. see more with our support policy.

Extracts datadog-ci gem

The CI visibility component has been extracted as a separate gem named datadog-ci, and will no longer be installed. If you would like to use the CI Visibility product, you can include the additional datadog-ci gem into your Gemfile. Learn more about setting up datadog-ci.

gem 'datadog', '>= 2'

group :test do
  gem 'datadog-ci'
end

If you do not want to install datadog-ci, make sure to remove CI-related configuration( Datadog.configure { |c| c.ci.* })

Configuration changes

Replace `use` with `instrument`

Starting with 1.0 use was deprecated in favor of instrument; 2.0 removes use, making instrument mandatory.

# === with 1.x ===
Datadog.configure do |c|
  c.tracing.use :mysql2  # deprecated usage
end

# === with 2.0 ===
Datadog.configure do |c|
  c.tracing.instrument :mysql2
end

Enforced type checking

Configuration options are type checked. When validation fails, an ArgumentError is raised.

For example c.env and c.service now have to be String.

# === with 1.x ===
Datadog.configure do |c|
  c.env = :production
end

# === with 2.0 ===
Datadog.configure do |c|
  c.env = 'production'
end

Note that skipping validation with ENV['DD_EXPERIMENTAL_SKIP_CONFIGURATION_VALIDATION'] has also been removed.

Propagation default

B3 propagation has been removed from the default propagation for distributed tracing. If you want to configure B3 propagation, see document.

1.x	2.0
datadog,b3multi,b3,tracecontext	datadog,tracecontext

Options

• Option c.tracing.client_ip.enabled: ENV['DD_TRACE_CLIENT_IP_HEADER_DISABLED'] is removed. Use ENV['DD_TRACE_CLIENT_IP_ENABLED'] instead.

• The following configuration options have been changed. Changes to their corresponding environment variables (if any) are noted as well:

  1.x	2.0
  tracing.distributed_tracing.propagation_extract_first	tracing.propagation_extract_first
  tracing.distributed_tracing.propagation_extract_style	tracing.propagation_style_extract
  tracing.distributed_tracing.propagation_inject_style	tracing.propagation_style_inject
  tracing.distributed_tracing.propagation_style	tracing.propagation_style
  diagnostics.health_metrics.enabled	health_metrics.enabled
  diagnostics.health_metrics.statsd	health_metrics.statsd
  profiling.advanced.allocation_counting_enabled	Removed
  profiling.advanced.experimental_allocation_enabled	profiling.allocation_enabled (DD_PROFILING_ALLOCATION_ENABLED environment variable)
  profiling.advanced.experimental_allocation_sample_rate	Removed
  profiling.advanced.experimental_timeline_enabled	profiling.advanced.timeline_enabled (DD_PROFILING_TIMELINE_ENABLED environment variable, enabled by default)
  profiling.advanced.force_enable_gc_profiling	profiling.advanced.gc_enabled (DD_PROFILING_GC_ENABLED environment variable, enabled by default)
  profiling.advanced.force_enable_legacy_profiler	Removed
  profiling.advanced.force_enable_new_profiler	Removed
  profiling.advanced.legacy_transport_enabled	Removed
  profiling.advanced.max_events	Removed

Advanced Usage

Frozen String Literal

All strings are frozen by default. Make sure your code does not mutate them.

Configuration API

If you are writing your own instrumentation, configuration options are now lazily evaluated by default. The .lazy option needs to be removed from all option configurations.

class MySettings < Datadog::Tracing::Contrib::Configuration::Settings
  option :boom do |o|
    o.default do
      true
    end
    o.lazy # === Remove this with 2.0 ===
  end
end

Tracing API

Remove the option span_type from the Datadog::Tracing.trace method. Additionally, the following alias methods have been removed:

1.x	Replacement in 2.0
Datadog::Tracing.trace(name, span_type: ...)	Datadog::Tracing.trace(name, type: ...)
Datadog::Tracing::SpanOperation#span_id	Datadog::Tracing::SpanOperation#id
Datadog::Tracing::SpanOperation#span_type	Datadog::Tracing::SpanOperation#type
Datadog::Tracing::SpanOperation#span_type=	Datadog::Tracing::SpanOperation#type=
Datadog::Tracing::Span#span_id	Datadog::Tracing::Span#id
Datadog::Tracing::Span#span_type	Datadog::Tracing::Span#type
Datadog::Tracing::Span#span_type=	Datadog::Tracing::Span#type=

If you are using manual instrumentation or processing pipeline

# === with 1.x ===
Datadog::Tracing.trace('my_span', span_type: 'custom') do |span|
  puts span.span_id

  span.span_type = "...."
end

# === with 2.0 ===
Datadog::Tracing.trace('my_span', type: 'custom') do |span|
  puts span.id

  span.type = "...."
end

Log Correlation

The following fields have been removed from Datadog::Tracing::Correlation::Identifier, and it no longer responds to them

• Datadog::Tracing::Correlation::Identifier#span_name
• Datadog::Tracing::Correlation::Identifier#span_resource
• Datadog::Tracing::Correlation::Identifier#span_service
• Datadog::Tracing::Correlation::Identifier#span_type
• Datadog::Tracing::Correlation::Identifier#trace_name
• Datadog::Tracing::Correlation::Identifier#trace_resource
• Datadog::Tracing::Correlation::Identifier#trace_service

The values returned from Datadog::Tracing::Correlation::Identifier#trace_id and Datadog::Tracing::Correlation::Identifier#span_id change from Integer to String. If you are manually correlating logs, check if it is still compatible.

# === with 1.x ===
Datadog::Tracing.correlation.span_id
# => 50288418819650436

# === with 2.0 ===
Datadog::Tracing.correlation.span_id
# => '50288418819650436'

Distributed Tracing

Propagation API changes

If you are manually propagating distributed tracing metadata Datadog::Tracing::Propagation::HTTP has moved to Datadog::Tracing::Contrib::HTTP.

# === with 1.x ===
Datadog::Tracing::Propagation::HTTP.inject!
Datadog::Tracing::Propagation::HTTP.extract

# === with 2.0 ===
Datadog::Tracing::Contrib::HTTP.inject
Datadog::Tracing::Contrib::HTTP.extract

Environment variable changes

1.x	2.0
DD_PROPAGATION_STYLE_INJECT	DD_TRACE_PROPAGATION_STYLE_INJECT
DD_PROPAGATION_STYLE_EXTRACT	DD_TRACE_PROPAGATION_STYLE_EXTRACT

The values from the environment variables DD_TRACE_PROPAGATION_STYLE, DD_TRACE_PROPAGATION_STYLE_INJECT, and DD_TRACE_PROPAGATION_STYLE_EXTRACT are now considered case-insensitive. Hence, the values mapped to different b3 strategies (single header vs. multiple headers) also changed.

Constant	Value	Strategy
Datadog::Tracing::Configuration::Ext::Distributed::PROPAGATION_STYLE_B3_SINGLE_HEADER	b3	single header
Datadog::Tracing::Configuration::Ext::Distributed::PROPAGATION_STYLE_B3_MULTI_HEADER	b3multi	multiple headers

Constant changes

Remove constants at Datadog::Tracing::Distributed::Headers::Ext. see table below:

1.x	2.0

Datadog::Tracing::Distributed::Headers::Ext::B3_HEADER_SAMPLED	Datadog::Tracing::Distributed::B3Multi::B3_SAMPLED_KEY
Datadog::Tracing::Distributed::Headers::Ext::B3_HEADER_SINGLE	Datadog::Tracing::Distributed::B3Single::B3_SINGLE_HEADER_KEY
Datadog::Tracing::Distributed::Headers::Ext::GRPC_METADATA_TRACE_ID	Datadog::Tracing::Distributed::Datadog::TRACE_ID_KEY

Datadog::Tracing::Distributed::Headers::Ext::GRPC_METADATA_ORIGIN	Datadog::Tracing::Distributed::Datadog::ORIGIN_KEY

Transport

The c.tracing.transport_options option has been removed and cannot be configured with a custom transport adapter. The following options have been added to replace options previously only available via transport_options:

• c.agent.timeout_seconds or DD_TRACE_AGENT_TIMEOUT_SECONDS
• c.agent.uds_path
• c.agent.use_ssl

see configure transport layer.

See table below for constant and method changes:

1.x	2.0
Datadog::Transport::Ext::HTTP	Datadog::Core::Transport::Ext::HTTP
Datadog::Transport::Ext::Test	Datadog::Core::Transport::Ext::Test
Datadog::Transport::Ext::UnixSocket	Datadog::Core::Transport::Ext::UnixSocket
Datadog::Core::Configuration::Ext::Transport::ENV_DEFAULT_HOST	Datadog::Core::Configuration::Agent::ENV_DEFAULT_HOST
Datadog::Tracing::Transport::HTTP#default_hostname	Removed
Datadog::Tracing::Transport::HTTP#default_port	Removed
Datadog::Tracing::Transport::HTTP#default_url	Removed
Datadog::Core::Remote::Transport::HTTP#default_hostname	Removed
Datadog::Core::Remote::Transport::HTTP#default_port	Removed
Datadog::Core::Remote::Transport::HTTP#default_url	Removed

Sampling

Custom sampling classes have been removed in 2.0.

Sampling should be configured using a combination of Ingestion Controls and user-defined rules, as such configurations are more maintainable and auditable than custom application sampling objects.

If you still need a custom sampler, see Custom Sampling for the new detailed requirements of a custom sampler object.

Sampling objects removed

1.x	2.0
Datadog::Tracing::Sampling::AllSampler	Removed
Datadog::Tracing::Sampling::Matcher	Removed
Datadog::Tracing::Sampling::SimpleMatcher	Removed
Datadog::Tracing::Sampling::ProcMatcher	Removed
Datadog::Tracing::Sampling::PrioritySampler	Removed
Datadog::Tracing::Sampling::RateByKeySampler	Removed
Datadog::Tracing::Sampling::RateByServiceSampler	Removed
Datadog::Tracing::Sampling::RateLimiter	Removed
Datadog::Tracing::Sampling::TokenBucket	Removed
Datadog::Tracing::Sampling::UnlimitedLimiter	Removed
Datadog::Tracing::Sampling::RateSampler	Removed
Datadog::Tracing::Sampling::Rule	Removed
Datadog::Tracing::Sampling::SimpleRule	Removed
Datadog::Tracing::Sampling::RuleSampler	Removed
Datadog::Tracing::Sampling::Sampler	Removed

Other sampling changes

The configuration option c.tracing.priority_sampling has been removed. Disabling priority sampling affects the auditability of simply decisions.

To disable priority sampling in 2.0, you now have to create a custom sampler.

Upgrade Instrumentations

Error Handling

The error_handler options have been replaced by on_error to align with options for our public API Datadog::Tracing.trace(name, options).

For the majority of integrations, rename the error_handler option to on_error in your configuration. See details for active_job, grpc, faraday and excon, which have unique implementation changes.

Option `error_status_codes`

Option error_status_codes has been introduced to various http integrations. It tags the span with an error based on http status from a response header. Its value can be a range (400...600), or an array of ranges/integers [403, 500...600]. If configured with environment variable, use a dash for an end-excluded range ('400-599') and a comma for adding element into an array ('403,500-599')

Datadog.configure do |c|
  c.tracing.instrument :http, error_status_codes: [403, 500...600]
  # equivalent to ENV['DD_TRACE_HTTP_ERROR_STATUS_CODES'] = '403,500-599'
end

List of Integration Changes

ActionPack

• Removed: exception_controller option.

ActiveJob

• Removed: error_handler option.

DelayedJob

• Rename error_handler option to on_error. See Error Handling

Elasticsearch

• Only ElasticSearch "transport" can be configured.

  # === with 1.x ===
  Datadog.configure_onto(client, **options)
  Datadog.configure_onto(client.transport, **options)
  
  # === with 2.0 ===
  Datadog.configure_onto(client.transport, **options)
  

Excon

• Removed: error_handler option. Use error_status_codes option to tag span with an error based on http status from response header, the default is 400...600 (Only server errors are tagged in 1.x). Additionally, configure on_error option to control behavior when an exception (ie. Excon::Error::Timeout) is raised.

  # === with 1.x ===
  Datadog.configure do |c|
    c.tracing.instrument :excon, error_handler: lambda do |response|
      (400...600).cover?(response[:status])
    end
  end
  
  # === with 2.0 ===
  Datadog.configure do |c|
    c.tracing.instrument :excon, error_status_codes: 400...600
  end
  

Faraday

• Removed: error_handler option. Use error_status_codes option to tag span with an error based on http status from response header, the default is 400...600 (Only server errors are tagged in 1.x). Additionally, configure on_error option to control behavior when an exception (ie.Faraday::ConnectionFailed) is raised.

  # === with 1.x ===
  Datadog.configure do |c|
    c.tracing.instrument :faraday, error_handler: lambda do |env|
      (400...600).cover?(env[:status])
    end
  end
  
  # === with 2.0 ===
  Datadog.configure do |c|
    c.tracing.instrument :faraday, error_status_codes: 400...600
  end
  

Grape

• Removed: error_statuses option. Use error_status_codes instead.

  # === with 1.x ===
  Datadog.configure do |c|
    c.tracing.instrument :grape, error_statuses: '400,500-599'
  end
  
  # === with 2.0 ===
  Datadog.configure do |c|
    c.tracing.instrument :grape, error_status_codes: [400, 500..599]
  end
  

GraphQL

• Support changes:

  • Supports graphql versions >= 2.2.6, and the below backported versions:

    Branch	Version
    2.1.x	>= 2.1.11, < 2.2
    2.0.x	>= 2.0.28, < 2.1
    1.13.x	>= 1.13.21, < 2.0

  • Does NOT support or patch defined-based schema.

• Option schemas becomes optional. Providing GraphQL schemas is not required. By default, every schema is instrumented.

• Instrument with GraphQL::Tracing::DataDogTrace. Set with_deprecated_tracer option to true to rollback instrumentation with deprecated GraphQL::Tracing::DataDogTracing.

GRPC

• error_handler, server_error_handler and client_error_handler options are removed. Replace them with option on_error, which is invoked on both server and client side instrumentation. Merge your implementation for server_error_handler and client_error_handler to on_error. The implementation for on_error should distinguish between the server and client.

  Datadog.configure do |c|
    c.tracing.instrument :grpc, on_error: proc do |span, error|
      if span.name == 'grpc.service'
        # Do something for server instrumentation
      end
  
      if span.name == 'grpc.client'
        # Do something for client instrumentation
      end
    end
  end
  

Net/Http

• Datadog::Tracing::Contrib::HTTP::Instrumentation.after_request has been removed.

OpenTracing

• Removed entirely.

PG

• Rename error_handler option to on_error. See Error Handling

Qless

• Removed entirely.

Que

• Rename error_handler option to on_error. See Error Handling

Rack

• The type for request_queuing option is Boolean, the value can no longer be Symbol. When enabled, the 1.x :exclude_request behavior becomes the new default behavior(include_request was the default). The original http_server.queue span will be renamed to http.proxy.request and an additional http.proxy.queue span is created to represent the time spent in a load balancer queue before reaching application.

  # === with 1.x ===
  Datadog.configure do |c|
    c.tracing.instrument :rack, request_queuing: :true
    # or
    c.tracing.instrument :rack, request_queuing: :include_request # Same as `true` in 1.x
    # or
    c.tracing.instrument :rack, request_queuing: :exclude_request # Becomes `true` in 2.x
  end
  
  # === with 2.0 ===
  Datadog.configure do |c|
    c.tracing.instrument :rack, request_queuing: true # :exclude_request behavior from 1.x
  end
  

  Changing the name of the top-level span (http_server.queue to http.proxy.request) would break functionality such as monitoring, dashboards and notebooks. The following snippet renames the top-level span back to assist with migration.

  Datadog::Tracing.before_flush(
    Datadog::Tracing::Pipeline::SpanProcessor.new do |span|
      if span.name == 'http.proxy.request'
        span.name = 'http_server.queue'
      end
    end
  )
  

Rails

• Support changes: Support Rails 4+ (Drops Rails 3)

• Removed: exception_controller option.

• See Rack

Resque

• Rename error_handler option to on_error. See Error Handling

Sinatra

• Removed following constants:
  • Datadog::Tracing::Contrib::Sinatra::Ext::RACK_ENV_REQUEST_SPAN
  • Datadog::Tracing::Contrib::Sinatra::Ext::RACK_ENV_MIDDLEWARE_START_TIME
  • Datadog::Tracing::Contrib::Sinatra::Ext::RACK_ENV_MIDDLEWARE_TRACED

Shoryuken

• Rename error_handler option to on_error. See Error Handling

Sidekiq

• Rename error_handler option to on_error. See Error Handling

• Removed: tag_args option. Use quantize instead.

  # === with 1.x ===
  Datadog.configure do |c|
    c.tracing.instrument :sidekiq, tag_args: true
  end
  
  # === with 2.0 ===
  Datadog.configure do |c|
    c.tracing.instrument :sidekiq, quantize: { args: { show: :all } }
  end
  

• No longer support worker specific configuration from #datadog_tracer_config method.

Sneakers

• Rename error_handler option to on_error. See Error Handling
