Is the log collecting means Span::add_log?

If yes, it's already done.

[wu-sheng]

No, it isn't. Log collecting mean logs with trace context could be reported through grpc log API. It is less expensive than including in spans. Also, you would be able to search logs without trace ID.

[jmjoy]

For logging, I want to implement it by integrate with the tokio log framework tracing, add the grpc subscriber and some filed in log, such as:

// The GrpcSubscriber implement `tracing::Subscriber`.
let subscriber = skywalking::logging::GrpcSubscriber::new();

tracing::subscriber::set_global_default(subscriber);

let trace_context = create_the_trace_context();

info!("some log", skywalking.ctx = trace_context);

Because tracing is not only a log framework, but also a trace framework, so in the future, I want to integrate skywalking Tracer with tracing, like tracing-opentelemetry.

[wu-sheng]

You could create APIs fot native logging/tracing integration, and provide a shell on the APIs for tokio tracing. This would be helpful to set up APIs boundaries.

I have some doubts about metric, where will the metric data be displayed on the UI?

Nearly all data on the pages? You need to follow MAL to pre-process metrics

[wu-sheng]

You could take a look for k8s, virtual machine(linux), and MySQL server monitoring.

Sorry to bother you but do we have any tokio tracing subscriber layer implemente by now? Is there any hint if I want to intergrate skywallking-rust with tokio tracing?

What is that tracing doing? If it only does pure tracing such as Zipkin, I am afraid, that is not enough for SkyWalking's requirements.

Tokio tracing is the most widely used trace framework in the Rust world. I'am not demanding that the crate skywalking-rust to support tokio tracing. I ask because the creator of this issue jmjoy mentioned that he was thinking about to integrate crate skywalking-rust with tokio tracing there like what tracing-opentelemetry do (maybe it's a new crate named tracing-skywalking). Since opentelemetry has been well supported in tokio traicng I wonder if there is the same thing in skywalking.

That is a new thing. But at least, this is not a thing we discussed here.
