Monitor gRPC Applications in Go using Atatus

​

Installation steps

1. Install Atatus Go Agent and RPC module
   go get go.atatus.com/agent
   go get go.atatus.com/agent/module/atgrpc
   
2. Set up tracer and instrument the RPC client/server
   • Instrumenting gRPC Server in Go using Atatus Agent
     import (
         "google.golang.org/grpc"
     
         "go.go.atatus.com/agent"
         "go.go.atatus.com/agent/module/atgrpc"
     )
     
     func main() {
         // Initialize Atatus tracer with values from environment
         tracer := atatus.DefaultTracer
         tracer.Service.LicenseKey = os.Getenv("ATATUS_LICENSE_KEY")
         tracer.Service.AppName = os.Getenv("ATATUS_APP_NAME")
         tracer.Service.Tracing = os.Getenv("ATATUS_TRACING")
         tracer.Service.Analytics = os.Getenv("ATATUS_ANALYTICS")
     
         // Setup gRPC server with Atatus middleware
         server := grpc.NewServer(
             grpc.UnaryInterceptor(atgrpc.NewUnaryServerInterceptor()),
             grpc.StreamInterceptor(atgrpc.NewStreamServerInterceptor()),
         )
     
         // Register your gRPC services here
         // pb.RegisterYourService(server, ...)
     
         // Start server
         // lis, _ := net.Listen("tcp", ":50051")
         // server.Serve(lis)
     }
     
   • Instrumenting gRPC Client in Go using Atatus Agent
     import (
         "google.golang.org/grpc"
       
         "go.go.atatus.com/agent"
         "go.go.atatus.com/agent/module/atgrpc"
     )
     
     func main() {
         // Initialize Atatus tracer with values from environment
         tracer := atatus.DefaultTracer
         tracer.Service.LicenseKey = os.Getenv("ATATUS_LICENSE_KEY")
         tracer.Service.AppName = os.Getenv("ATATUS_APP_NAME")
         tracer.Service.Tracing = os.Getenv("ATATUS_TRACING")
         tracer.Service.Analytics = os.Getenv("ATATUS_ANALYTICS")
     
     
         // Setup gRPC client with Atatus interceptors
         conn, _ := grpc.Dial("localhost:50051",
             grpc.WithInsecure(),
             grpc.WithUnaryInterceptor(atgrpc.NewUnaryClientInterceptor()),
             grpc.WithStreamInterceptor(atgrpc.NewStreamClientInterceptor()),
         )
     
         // Create client and make RPC calls
         // client := pb.NewYourServiceClient(conn)
         // client.YourMethod(ctx, &pb.YourRequest{})
     }
     
     Before running your application, make sure these environment variables are set in your terminal or .env file:
     export ATATUS_LICENSE_KEY=<your_atatus_license_key>
     export ATATUS_APP_NAME=<your_application_name>
     export ATATUS_TRACING=true
     export ATATUS_ANALYTICS=true
     export ATATUS_NOTIFY_HOST="YOUR_ON_PREMISE_URL"
     
3. Clean Up Dependencies
   go mod tidy
   
4. Run the Application
   go run client.go
   go run server.go
