Integrate OpenTelemetry for Nest.js with infrastack.ai
Learn how to instrument your Nest.js application with infrastack.ai and OpenTelemetry for comprehensive observability and performance insights.
What you will learn
- Installing the
@infrastack/otelNPM package - Setting up your environment
- Instrumenting your application
Prerequisites
- An infrastack.ai account to get your API key
- A Nest.js application
Getting started
1
Install the NPM package
2
Prepare your environment
Export your API key as an environment variable.
export INFRASTACK_API_KEY=sk-1*************************f5af
3
Create instrumentation.ts
Create an instrumentation.ts file under the src folder.
instrumentation.ts
import { startOtel } from '@infrastack/otel';
startOtel({
serviceName: 'nestjs-otel-example',
});
If you don’t provide a service name, we will create a random name for you.
4
Import the instrumentation module in your main.ts file
main.ts
import './instrumentation';
import { NestFactory } from '@nestjs/core';
import { AppModule } from './app.module';
async function bootstrap() {
const app = await NestFactory.create(AppModule);
await app.listen(8081);
console.log('Server is running on port 8081');
}
bootstrap();
5
Run your application
Run your Nest.js application with the default Nest.js command.
npm run start
After creating some traffic, you can check your data from the infrastack.ai dashboard.
