Pull request overview

Adds support for the W3C Trace Context Level 2 random trace-flags bit by introducing ActivityTraceFlags.RandomTraceId and ensuring Activities created with the default trace-id generator set/propagate this flag.

Changes:

  • Add ActivityTraceFlags.RandomTraceId to the public API surface.
  • Add Activity.RandomizedTraceId convenience property and set the flag when the default random trace-id generator is used.
  • Expand ActivityTests coverage for parsing/propagating the new flag and validating default generation behavior.

  • The XML documentation for RandomizedTraceId/Recorded refers to W3CIdFlags.*, but there is no public (or internal) W3CIdFlags type; the flag enum is ActivityTraceFlags. Update the docs to reference ActivityTraceFlags.RandomTraceId / ActivityTraceFlags.Recorded (or describe the W3C trace-flags field generically) to avoid misleading API docs.

@Kielek thanks for submitting it. We need to design review it before we proceed with the changes. I have converted this PR to be draft for now till we do that. If you like we can temporary close the PR and then reactive it back when ready.

@tarekgh, thank you for adjusting this PR to he API-review decision.

- Propagate RandomTraceId from parent to child activities in GenerateW3CId()
so the flag follows the trace ID per W3C Trace Context Level 2.
- Fix EventSourceLogger to use activity.Recorded instead of comparing
ActivityTraceFlags to None, which broke with the new RandomTraceId flag.
- Update test assertions in DiagnosticSourceEventSourceBridgeTests to
expect RandomTraceId on activities using the default random generator.

…#124851)
dotnet/runtime#124851 ("Add ActivityTraceFlags.RandomTraceId flag",
W3C Trace Context Level 2) changes how ActivityTraceFlags are emitted
into EventPipe events:
- Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.EventSource now emits the flags field as
the raw integer ("0".."3") rather than just "0"/"1", and emits
string.Empty (instead of null) for trace/span IDs when no current
Activity exists.
- ActivitySource-created activities now have RandomTraceId set
automatically, so DiagnosticSourceEventSource Stop events carry
flag values this consumer did not recognize.
- net 8 servicing runtimes now honor ParentRatioSampler in the
FilterAndPayloadSpec, where they previously dropped it.
Make the consumer tolerant of these wire-format shifts:
* LogRecordFactory: IsNullOrEmpty for trace/span IDs; integer parse
with bit-mask for trace flags via new ParseActivityTraceFlags helper.
* TraceEventExtensions: tolerant ActivityTraceFlags parse that masks
unknown bits (handles either integer or comma-separated name form).
* DistributedTracesPipelineUnitTests: drop the obsolete net 8 carveout
in TestTracesPipelineWithSamplingRatio; all supported TFMs now
produce a single un-recorded activity here.
Also bump MicrosoftExtensionsLoggingEventSourceVersion 8.0.3 -> 10.0.5
(the 8.0.3 pin does not exist on the public feeds and was being
substituted to 9.0.0 with NU1603 treated as error).

Pull request overview

Adds support for the W3C Trace Context Level 2 random trace-flags bit by introducing ActivityTraceFlags.RandomTraceId and ensuring Activities created with the default trace-id generator set/propagate this flag.

Changes:

  • Add ActivityTraceFlags.RandomTraceId to the public API surface.
  • Add Activity.RandomizedTraceId convenience property and set the flag when the default random trace-id generator is used.
  • Expand ActivityTests coverage for parsing/propagating the new flag and validating default generation behavior.

@tarekgh, thank you for adjusting this PR to he API-review decision.

- Propagate RandomTraceId from parent to child activities in GenerateW3CId()
so the flag follows the trace ID per W3C Trace Context Level 2.
- Fix EventSourceLogger to use activity.Recorded instead of comparing
ActivityTraceFlags to None, which broke with the new RandomTraceId flag.
- Update test assertions in DiagnosticSourceEventSourceBridgeTests to
expect RandomTraceId on activities using the default random generator.

…#124851)
dotnet/runtime#124851 ("Add ActivityTraceFlags.RandomTraceId flag",
W3C Trace Context Level 2) changes how ActivityTraceFlags are emitted
into EventPipe events:
- Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.EventSource now emits the flags field as
the raw integer ("0".."3") rather than just "0"/"1", and emits
string.Empty (instead of null) for trace/span IDs when no current
Activity exists.
- ActivitySource-created activities now have RandomTraceId set
automatically, so DiagnosticSourceEventSource Stop events carry
flag values this consumer did not recognize.
- net 8 servicing runtimes now honor ParentRatioSampler in the
FilterAndPayloadSpec, where they previously dropped it.
Make the consumer tolerant of these wire-format shifts:
* LogRecordFactory: IsNullOrEmpty for trace/span IDs; integer parse
with bit-mask for trace flags via new ParseActivityTraceFlags helper.
* TraceEventExtensions: tolerant ActivityTraceFlags parse that masks
unknown bits (handles either integer or comma-separated name form).
* DistributedTracesPipelineUnitTests: drop the obsolete net 8 carveout
in TestTracesPipelineWithSamplingRatio; all supported TFMs now
produce a single un-recorded activity here.
Also bump MicrosoftExtensionsLoggingEventSourceVersion 8.0.3 -> 10.0.5
(the 8.0.3 pin does not exist on the public feeds and was being
substituted to 9.0.0 with NU1603 treated as error).

…#124851)
dotnet/runtime#124851 ("Add ActivityTraceFlags.RandomTraceId flag",
W3C Trace Context Level 2) changes how ActivityTraceFlags are emitted
into EventPipe events:
- Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.EventSource now emits the flags field as
the raw integer ("0".."3") rather than just "0"/"1", and emits
string.Empty (instead of null) for trace/span IDs when no current
Activity exists.
- ActivitySource-created activities now have RandomTraceId set
automatically, so DiagnosticSourceEventSource Stop events carry
flag values this consumer did not recognize.
- net 8 servicing runtimes now honor ParentRatioSampler in the
FilterAndPayloadSpec, where they previously dropped it.
Make the consumer tolerant of these wire-format shifts:
* LogRecordFactory: IsNullOrEmpty for trace/span IDs; integer parse
with bit-mask for trace flags via new ParseActivityTraceFlags helper.
* TraceEventExtensions: tolerant ActivityTraceFlags parse that masks
unknown bits (handles either integer or comma-separated name form).
* DistributedTracesPipelineUnitTests: drop the obsolete net 8 carveout
in TestTracesPipelineWithSamplingRatio; all supported TFMs now
produce a single un-recorded activity here.
Also bump MicrosoftExtensionsLoggingEventSourceVersion 8.0.3 -> 10.0.5
(the 8.0.3 pin does not exist on the public feeds and was being
substituted to 9.0.0 with NU1603 treated as error).

Pull request overview

Adds support for the W3C Trace Context Level 2 random trace-flags bit by introducing ActivityTraceFlags.RandomTraceId and ensuring Activities created with the default trace-id generator set/propagate this flag.

Changes:

  • Add ActivityTraceFlags.RandomTraceId to the public API surface.
  • Add Activity.RandomizedTraceId convenience property and set the flag when the default random trace-id generator is used.
  • Expand ActivityTests coverage for parsing/propagating the new flag and validating default generation behavior.

  • The XML documentation for RandomizedTraceId/Recorded refers to W3CIdFlags.*, but there is no public (or internal) W3CIdFlags type; the flag enum is ActivityTraceFlags. Update the docs to reference ActivityTraceFlags.RandomTraceId / ActivityTraceFlags.Recorded (or describe the W3C trace-flags field generically) to avoid misleading API docs.
 /// <summary>
/// True if the W3CIdFlags.RandomTraceId flag is set.

@Kielek thanks for submitting it. We need to design review it before we proceed with the changes. I have converted this PR to be draft for now till we do that. If you like we can temporary close the PR and then reactive it back when ready.

@tarekgh, thank you for adjusting this PR to he API-review decision.

- Propagate RandomTraceId from parent to child activities in GenerateW3CId()
so the flag follows the trace ID per W3C Trace Context Level 2.
- Fix EventSourceLogger to use activity.Recorded instead of comparing
ActivityTraceFlags to None, which broke with the new RandomTraceId flag.
- Update test assertions in DiagnosticSourceEventSourceBridgeTests to
expect RandomTraceId on activities using the default random generator.
