AppSignal Go Installation

Please follow the installation guide first, when adding a new application to AppSignal.

Previously, this page described how to instrument Go apps using the AppSignal standalone agent. This is no longer supported.

Please follow these updated instructions using the AppSignal collector instead.

OpenTelemetry installation instructions

Please, first follow the OpenTelemetry Beta installation instructions.

After you've completed the above guide, this section of our documentation includes additional steps for Go specific instrumentations.

Add Instrumentation Packages

The next step is to instrument Go packages like Gin-gonic, Gorilla, etc. This will provide much more data to really dig into the performance of your applications.

The steps for every package are usually as follows:

  • Install the OpenTelemetry instrumentation package for the library you want to instrument.
  • Follow the installation instructions for the instrumentation package.

For more installation and configuration information per library, please consult the Go instrumentations section.
