Function getTrace

getTrace(
    name: string,
    args?:
        | { attributes?: AttrMap; carrier?: CarrierMap; parentObject?: ASpan }
        | undefined,
): ASpan | undefined
Create the parent or child tracing span object (ASpan) used to send trace events. The object end() must be called before the trace span can be sent to the collector.
Parameters
- name: string
  Name for the span object.
- args: { attributes?: AttrMap; carrier?: CarrierMap; parentObject?: ASpan } | undefined = undefined
  Optional: Arguments for the function (see below)
  - { attributes?: AttrMap; carrier?: CarrierMap; parentObject?: ASpan }
    Optionalattributes?: AttrMap
    Attributes payload to attach to the trace span.
    
    Optionalcarrier?: CarrierMap
    This is a OTel carrier that can be recieved via message or HTTP headers from another process or source. If unsure don't include this argument. This is the parent when the parent is "remote" (i.e. client/server or across processes).
    
    OptionalparentObject?: ASpan
    This is used as the parent for the new trace span like a carrier but in-process.
  - undefined
Returns ASpan | undefined
The ASpan object if successful, or undefined if not initialized.
Remarks
This method does not throw any known exceptions.

```
     const span = getTrace(name: "mySpanName", {attributes: { feature: "makeMoney" }})

```
