Module tracing_core::field [−][src]
Expand description
Span and Event
key-value data.
Spans and events may be annotated with key-value data, referred to as known
as fields. These fields consist of a mapping from a key (corresponding to
a &str
but represented internally as an array index) to a Value
.
Value
s and Subscriber
s
Subscriber
s consume Value
s as fields attached to spans or Event
s.
The set of field keys on a given span or is defined on its Metadata
.
When a span is created, it provides Attributes
to the Subscriber
’s
new_span
method, containing any fields whose values were provided when
the span was created; and may call the Subscriber
’s record
method
with additional Record
s if values are added for more of its fields.
Similarly, the Event
type passed to the subscriber’s event
method
will contain any fields attached to each event.
tracing
represents values as either one of a set of Rust primitives
(i64
, u64
, bool
, and &str
) or using a fmt::Display
or fmt::Debug
implementation. Subscriber
s are provided these primitive value types as
dyn Value
trait objects.
These trait objects can be formatted using fmt::Debug
, but may also be
recorded as typed data by calling the Value::record
method on these
trait objects with a visitor implementing the Visit
trait. This trait
represents the behavior used to record values of various types. For example,
we might record integers by incrementing counters for their field names,
rather than printing them.
Structs
A Value
which serializes as a string using fmt::Debug
.
A Value
which serializes using fmt::Display
.
An empty field.
An opaque key allowing O(1) access to a field in a Span
’s key-value
data.
Describes the fields present on a span.
An iterator over a set of fields.
A set of fields and values for a span.
