emicklei/go-restful instrumentation example

An HTTP server using emicklei/go-restful and instrumentation. The server has a /users/{id:[0-9]+} endpoint. The server generates span information to stdout.

These instructions assume you have docker-compose installed.

Bring up the go-restful-server and go-restful-client services to run the example:

docker-compose up --detach go-restful-server go-restful-client

The go-restful-client service sends just one HTTP request to go-restful-server and then exits. View the span generated by go-restful-server in the logs:

docker-compose logs go-restful-server

Shut down the services when you are finished with the example:

docker-compose down
