OpenCensus can trace HTTP requests made with the requests package_. The request URL, method, and status will be collected.

You can enable requests integration by specifying 'requests' to trace_integrations.

It's possible to configure a list of URL you don't want traced. By default the request to exporter won't be traced. It's configurable by giving an array of hostname/port to the attribute excludelist_hostnames in OpenCensus context's attributes:

Only the hostname must be specified if only the hostname is specified in the URL request.
