Async Runtime Instrumentation Subscriber

The Async Runtime Instrumentation Subscriber (ari-subscriber) is a tracing-subscriber optimized for visually debugging Tokio tracing instrumentation.

This crate provides a Layer which writes tracing information to stdout. It colorizes the traces that result from the tracing instrumentation in Tokio to make identifying them easier.

Usage

This example will set up a formatting tracing_subscriber::Layer which is then added to the registry. The output from the task spawned afterwards will be seen in stdout.

use tracing_subscriber::prelude::*;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let layer = ari_subscriber::layer();

    tracing_subscriber::registry().with(layer).init();

    tokio::spawn(async {
        tokio::time::sleep(std::time::Duration::from_millis(100)).await;
    })
    .await
    .unwrap();
}

A common use case is to use ari-subscriber together with the console-subscriber, which aggregates the same Tokio tracing instrumentation to be visualized in Tokio Console.

use tracing_subscriber::prelude::*;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let fmt_layer = ari_subscriber::layer();
    let console_layer = console_subscriber::spawn();

    tracing_subscriber::registry()
        .with(fmt_layer)
        .with(console_layer)
        .init();

    tokio::spawn(async {
        tokio::time::sleep(std::time::Duration::from_millis(100)).await;
    })
    .await
    .unwrap();
}

Example output

The beginning of the output of the above program would be:

Comparison with tracing-subscriber

ari-subscriber is built on top of tracing-subscriber and uses its registry (as do the majority of tracing subscribers). It offers an alternative to the fmt::Subscriber and underlying fmt::Layer in that crate.

If you are in doubt about which format subscriber to use, pick the one from tracing-subscriber. It is more flexible and without a doubt, much more performant.

You would only use the ari-subscriber format Layer if you have a specific need to visualize the tracing instrumentation built into Tokio.

Supported Rust Versions

ari-subscriber is built against the latest stable release. The minimum supported version is 1.65. The current version of ari-subscriber is not guaranteed to build on Rust versions earlier than the minimum supported version.
