This example demonstrates how to instrument the Elasticsearch client.

The opencensus.go example uses the ochttp.Transport wrapper to auto-instrument the client calls, and provides a simple exporter which prints information to the terminal.

The apmelasticsearch.go example demonstrates instrumenting the client with the Go agent for Elastic APM: configuring the transactions for multiple types, creating custom spans within a transaction, and reporting errors.

Run the example interactively with Docker and inspect the UI in Kibana:

docker-compose --file elasticstack.yml up --build

To destroy the Docker assets for the example, run:

docker-compose --file elasticstack.yml down --remove-orphans --volumes
