v0.4.5

v0.4.5 - 2024-01-01

Fix exec attributes, cleanups, and dependency updates.

otel-cli exec attributes were broken for the last few releases so @tobert
felt it was ok to rename them to match the OTel semantic conventions
now.

Changed

• using latest deps for grpc, protobuf, and otel
• exec attributes will now go out with the span
• exec now sends process.command and process.command_args attributes
• main_test.go now supports regular expression tests on span data

v0.4.4

Changelog

• 8976732 fix typo in exec envvar OTEL_CLI_EXEC_TP_DISABLE_INJECT (#311)

v0.4.3

[0.4.3] - 2024-03-11

Add injection of {{traceparent}} to otel-cli exec as default behavior, along with the otel-cli exec --tp-disable-inject to turn it off (old behavior).

Added

• otel-cli exec echo {{traceparent}} is now supported to pass traceparent to child process
• otel-cli exec --tp-disable-inject will disable this new default behavior

v0.4.2

Note

The binary assets on GitHub for this release are the same as 0.4.3 due to a mistake. I felt it was better to have something under that tag than nothing.

Changelog

• 5320afc #293 ship alpine certs with docker (#295)
• b23efba #81 template traceparent into exec command args (#308)
• ec13a7c switch to alpine:latest base image (#307)

v0.4.1

Mostly small but impactful changes to otel-cli exec.

Added

• otel-cli exec --command-timeout 30s provides a separate command timeout from the otel timeout
• SIGINT is now caught and passed to the child process
• attributes can be set or overwrite on a backgrounded span via otel-cli span end

Changed

• bumped several dependencies to the latest release
• updated README.md

v0.4.0

[0.4.0] - 2022-08-09

This focus of this release is a brand-new OTLP client implementation. It has fewer features
than the opentelemetry-collector code, and allows for more fine-grained control over how
gRPC and HTTP are configured. Along the way, the otelcli and otlpclient packages went
through a couple refactors to organize code better in preparation for adding metrics and
logs, hopefully in 0.5.0.

Added

• --force-parent-span-id allows forcing the span parent (thanks @domofactor!)
• otel-cli status now includes a list of errors including retries that later succeeded

Changed

• --otlp-blocking is marked deprecated and no longer does anything
• the OTLP client implementation is no longer using opentelemetry-collector
• traceparent code is now in a w3c/traceparent package
• otlpserver.CliEvent is removed entirely, preferring protobuf spans & events

Merged PRs

• 819cae9 separate w3c traceparent to its own package (#225)
• 5f1223a update CHANGELOG.md for release 0.4.0 (#251)

v0.3.0

The most important change is that otel-cli exec now treats arguments as an argv
list instead of munging them into a string. This shouldn't break anyone doing sensible
things, but could if folks were expecting the old sh -c behavior.

Envvars are no longer deleted before calling exec. Actually, they still are, but otel-cli
backs up its envvars early so they can be propagated anyways.

The rest of the visible changes are incremental additions or fixes. As for the invisible,
otel-cli now generates span protobufs directly, and no longer goes through the
opentelemetry-go SDK. This ended up making some code cleaner, aside from some of the
protobuf-isms that show up.

A user has a use case for setting custom trace and span ids, so the --force-trace-id
and --force-span-id options were added to span, exec, and other span-generating
subcommands.

Changelog

v0.2.0

v0.2.0

The main addition in this version is client mTLS authentication support, which comes in with
extensive e2e tests for TLS settings.

--no-tls-verify is deprecated in favor of --tls-no-verify so all the TLS options are consistent.

otel-cli span background now has a --background-skip-parent-pid-check option for some use cases
where folks want otel-cli to keep running past its parent process.

v0.1.0

Changelog

Apologies for the very long delay between releases. There is a lot of pent-up change
in this release.

Bumped minor version to 0.1 because there are some changes in behavior around
endpoint URI handling and configuration. Also some inconsistencies in command line
arguments has been touched up, so some uses of single-letter flags and --ignore-tp-env
(renamed to `--tp-ignore-env to match other flags) might break.

Viper has been dropped in favor of directly loading configuration from json and
environment variables. It appears none of the Viper features ever worked in
otel-cli so it shouldn't be a big deal, but if you were using Viper configs they
won't work anymore and you'll have to switch to otel-cli's json config format.

Endpoints now conform mostly to the OTel spec, except for a couple cases
documented in the README.md.
