@ohos.hiTraceChain (Distributed Tracing)

The hiTraceChain module implements call chain tracing throughout a service process. It provides functions such as starting and stopping call chain tracing and configuring trace points.

NOTE

The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 8. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.

Modules to Import

import hiTraceChain from '@ohos.hiTraceChain';

HiTraceFlag

Enumerates trace flag types.

System capability: SystemCapability.HiviewDFX.HiTrace

Name	Value	Description
DEFAULT	0	Default flag.
INCLUDE_ASYNC	1	Asynchronous call flag. By default, only synchronous calls are traced. If this flag is set, both synchronous and asynchronous calls will be traced.
DONOT_CREATE_SPAN	1 << 1	No span flag. By default, spans are created within a trace of synchronous and asynchronous service calls. If this flag is set, no spans are created.
TP_INFO	1 << 2	Trace point flag. By default, no trace point is added when trace is enabled. This flag is used for debugging. If this flag is set, trace points will be automatically added on the TX and RX sides of synchronous and asynchronous calls to output trace point and timestamp information. Trace points are classified into four types: CS, SR, SS, and CR. For a synchronous call, the output trace points are CS, SR, SS, and CR; for an asynchronous call, the output trace points are CS, SR, and SS.
NO_BE_INFO	1 << 3	No begin/end flag. By default, information about the start and end of the trace task is printed. If this flag is set, information about the start and end of the trace task will not be printed.
DISABLE_LOG	1 << 4	Log association flag. If this flag is set, information about the trace task will not be printed.
FAILURE_TRIGGER	1 << 5	Failure trigger flag. This flag is reserved for future use.
D2D_TP_INFO	1 << 6	Device-to-device trace point flag. It is a subset of TP_INFO. If this flag is set, trace points are added only for call chain trace between devices.

HiTraceTracepointType

HiTraceCommunicationMode
