flush() | Respan Docs

Signature

1 flush() -> None

Flushes all pending spans through the processor pipeline to exporters. Available on both Respan and RespanClient.

Example

1 from respan import Respan, get_client, workflow
2 
3 respan = Respan(api_key="your-api-key")
4 
5 @workflow(name="quick_task")
6 def quick_task():
7     return "done"
8 
9 quick_task()
10 
11 # Flush via Respan instance
12 respan.flush()
13 
14 # Or flush via client
15 get_client().flush()

Use flush() before process exit or in serverless/Lambda environments to ensure all spans are exported. In long-running applications with batch processing enabled, spans are flushed automatically at regular intervals.
