Apollo Tracing

Deprecation notice: Apollo Tracing has been deprecated and will be removed in a future version of Ariadne.

Apollo Tracing exposes basic performance data of GraphQL queries: Query execution time and execution time of individual resolvers. Ariadne has GraphQL extension that includes this data in the JSON returned by the server after completing the query.

Note: for performance reasons Apollo Tracing extension excludes default resolvers.

Enabling Apollo Tracing in the API​

To enable Apollo Tracing in your API, import the ApolloTracingExtension class from ariadne.contrib.tracing.apollotracing and pass it to your server extensions option:

from ariadne.asgi import GraphQL
from ariadne.asgi.handlers import GraphQLHTTPHandler
from ariadne.contrib.tracing.apollotracing import ApolloTracingExtension

app = GraphQL(
    schema,
    debug=True,
    http_handler=GraphQLHTTPHandler(
        extensions=[ApolloTracingExtension],
    ),
)

Tracing default resolvers​

For performance reasons tracing is disabled for default resolvers. To reverse this behavior you can initialize ApolloTracingExtension with trace_default_resolver option set to True:

from ariadne.asgi import GraphQL
from ariadne.asgi.handlers import GraphQLHTTPHandler
from ariadne.contrib.tracing.apollotracing import ApolloTracingExtension


def apollo_tracing():
    return ApolloTracingExtension(trace_default_resolver=True)


app = GraphQL(
    schema,
    debug=True,
    http_handler=GraphQLHTTPHandler(
        extensions=[apollo_tracing],
    ),
)
