OpenTracing support is included in the dd-trace package.

const tracer = require('dd-trace').init()
const opentracing = require('opentracing')

opentracing.initGlobalTracer(tracer)

Use the tracer like in any other OpenTracing application.

The following tags are available to override Datadog specific options:

• service.name: The service name to be used for the span. The service name from the tracer will be used if this is not provided.
• resource.name: The resource name to be used for the span. The operation name will be used if this is not provided.
• span.type: The span type to be used for the span. Will fallback to custom if not provided.

See opentracing.io for OpenTracing Node.js usage.
