Use Multiple Instances of the Mobile SDK
Overview
In order to use multiple instances of the SDK, you will need to adopt version
2.0.0 or higher. See the
Upgrade RUM Mobile SDKs guide.
Follow this guide to use multiple named instances of the SDK. Many methods of the SDK optionally take an SDK instance as an argument. If none is provided, the call is associated with the default (nameless) SDK instance.
Note: The SDK instance name should be consistent between application runs. Storage paths for SDK events depend on this.
val namedSdkInstance = Datadog.initialize("myInstance", context, configuration, trackingConsent)
val userInfo = UserInfo(...)
Datadog.setUserInfo(userInfo, sdkCore = namedSdkInstance)
Logs.enable(logsConfig, namedSdkInstance)
val logger = Logger.Builder(namedSdkInstance)
...
.build()
Trace.enable(traceConfig, namedSdkInstance)
val tracer = AndroidTracer.Builder(namedSdkInstance)
...
.build()
Rum.enable(rumConfig, namedSdkInstance)
GlobalRumMonitor.get(namedSdkInstance)
NdkCrashReports.enable(namedSdkInstance)
WebViewTracking.enable(webView, allowedHosts, namedSdkInstance)
Note:
In order for instrumentation to work on the WebView component, it is very important that the JavaScript is enabled on the WebView. To enable it, you can use the following code snippet:
webView.settings.javaScriptEnabled = true
You can retrieve the named SDK instance by calling Datadog.getInstance(<name>) and use the Datadog.isInitialized(<name>) method to check if the particular SDK instance is initialized.
import DatadogCore
import DatadogRUM
import DatadogLogs
import DatadogTrace
let core = Datadog.initialize(
with: configuration,
trackingConsent: trackingConsent,
instanceName: "my-instance"
)
RUM.enable(
with: RUM.Configuration(applicationID: "<RUM Application ID>"),
in: core
)
Logs.enable(in: core)
Trace.enable(in: core)
Once the named SDK instance is initialized, you can retrieve it by calling Datadog.sdkInstance(named: "<name>") and use it as shown below.
import DatadogCore
let core = Datadog.sdkInstance(named: "my-instance")
Logs
import DatadogLogs
let logger = Logger.create(in: core)
Trace
import DatadogRUM
let monitor = RUMMonitor.shared(in: core)
RUM
import DatadogRUM
let monitor = RUMMonitor.shared(in: core)
