Digma Quick Start
Guide for Python

COLLECT DATA FROM YOUR CODE!

Not yet on the OTEL train? No worries! 

  1. Install the Digma opentelemetry pypi package:
pip install opentelemetry-instrumentation-digma
  1. Add the following quick bootstrap line to your code setup to bootstrap both OTEL and Digma:
from opentelemetry.instrumentation.digma import digma_opentelemetry_boostrap

digma_opentelemetry_boostrap(service_name='server-name', 
digma_backend="http://localhost:5050",
configuration=DigmaConfiguration().trace_this_package())

If you’re already using OpenTelemetry… 

  1. Add Digma to your collector: 

Modify your collector configuration file to add Digma’s backend as a target. For example:

otlp/digma:
    endpoint: "localhost:5050"
    tls:
      insecure: true
service:
  pipelines:
    traces:
      exporters: [otlp/digma, ...]
  1. Connect Digma to your OTEL setup 

Install the Digma opentelemetry pypi package:

pip install opentelemetry-instrumentation-digma

Or add to your requirements.txt file

Add the following line immediately after your OTEL resource object creation:

resource = resource.merge(DigmaConfiguration().trace_this_package()

Finally, connect your code to Digma!

Add one or two lines of code to instrument Digma based on the platform you are currently using.

Connecting your code to Digma

Python  / Django

Install the Digma and OTEL Django instrumentation packages packages (if you haven’t already)

pip install opentelemetry-instrumentation-digma-django
pip install opentelemetry-instrumentation-django

Or add it to your requirements file.

Add the following lines to instrument your Django application in your setup code:

from opentelemetry.instrumentation.digma.django import DigmaIntrumentor
from opentelemetry.instrumentation.django import DjangoInstrumentor

DjangoInstrumentor().instrument()
DigmaIntrumentor.instrument()

You’re good to go! Check out our sample Django project for reference.

Python  / FastAPI

Install the Digma and OTEL FastAPI instrumentation packagesPyPI packages (if you haven’t already) 

pip install opentelemetry-instrumentation-digma-fastapi
pip install opentelemetry-instrumentation-fastapi

Or add them to your requirements file.

Add the following lines to Instrument your FastAPI application in your setup code:

from opentelemetry.instrumentation.fastapi import FastAPIInstrumentor
from opentelemetry.instrumentation.digma.fastapi import DigmaFastAPIInstrumentor

DigmaFastAPIInstrumentor().instrument_app(app)
FastAPIInstrumentor().instrument_app(app)

You’re good to go! Check out our sample FastAPI project for reference.
