Conventions used
There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.
Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: “Another option is to pass the traceparent value in W3C Trace Context format to the StartActivity method as a string.”
A block of code is set as follows:
using var activity = Source.StartActivity("DoWork");
try
{
await DoWorkImpl(workItemId);
}
catch
{
activity?.SetStatus(ActivityStatusCode.Error);
}
When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:
using var provider = Sdk.CreateTracerProviderBuilder()
.ConfigureResource(b => b.AddService("sample"))
.AddSource("Worker")
.AddJaegerExporter()
Any command-line input or output is written as follows:
$ docker-compose up --build $ dotnet run
Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: “Let’s open the trace file with PerfView and then click on the Thread Time option.”
