# Reactor Netty

<!-- llms-txt-link: /llms.txt -->

> OpenTelemetry Java agent instrumentation

This instrumentation enables HTTP client spans and HTTP client metrics for the Reactor Netty HTTP client.

- **Name**: `reactor-netty-1.0`
- **Scope**: `io.opentelemetry.reactor-netty-1.0`
- **Target versions**: `io.projectreactor.netty:reactor-netty-http:[1.0.0,)`, `io.projectreactor.netty:reactor-netty:[1.0.0,)`
- **Library**: https://projectreactor.io/docs/netty/release/reference/

## Telemetry

- **Metrics**: `http.client.request.duration`
- **Span attributes**: `error.type`, `http.request.method`, `http.request.method_original`, `http.request.resend_count`, `http.response.status_code`, `network.peer.address`, `network.peer.port`, `network.protocol.version`, `peer.service`, `server.address`, `server.port`, `url.full`, `service.peer.name`

## Configuration

| Option | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `otel.instrumentation.common.peer-service-mapping` | map |  | Used to specify a mapping from host names or IP addresses to peer services. |
| `otel.instrumentation.http.client.capture-request-headers` | list |  | List of HTTP request headers to capture in HTTP client telemetry. |
| `otel.instrumentation.http.client.capture-response-headers` | list |  | List of HTTP response headers to capture in HTTP client telemetry. |
| `otel.instrumentation.http.client.emit-experimental-telemetry` | boolean | false | Enable the capture of experimental HTTP client telemetry. Adds the `http.request.body.size` and `http.response.body.size` attributes to spans, and records `http.client.request.body.size` and `http.client.response.body.size` metrics. |
| `otel.instrumentation.http.known-methods` | list | CONNECT,DELETE,GET,HEAD,OPTIONS,PATCH,POST,PUT,TRACE | Configures the instrumentation to recognize an alternative set of HTTP request methods. All other methods will be treated as `_OTHER`. |
| `java.common.http.client.url_template_rules` | list |  | Rules for deriving low-cardinality URL templates (routes) from HTTP client request URLs. Only applied when experimental HTTP client telemetry is enabled. |
| `otel.instrumentation.reactor-netty.connection-telemetry.enabled` | boolean | false | Enables the creation of Connect and DNS spans. |
| `otel.instrumentation.sanitization.url.experimental.sensitive-query-parameters` | list | AWSAccessKeyId,Signature,sig,X-Goog-Signature | List of URL query parameter names whose values are redacted in URL attributes. See https://opentelemetry.io/docs/specs/semconv/http/http-spans. |
