Frequently Asked Questions

FAQPage Schema
How to install skywalking-python?▼

Run `npx skills add apache/skywalking-python --all -g -y` in your terminal to install all skills in this suite globally.

How to create a new SkyWalking Python plugin?▼

Use the new-plugin skill, which generates the plugin module, component enum entry, Docker test setup, and expected trace data for any library you name.

How to run SkyWalking plugin tests locally?▼

The plugin-test skill builds the Docker test image and runs the same unit, plugin, and e2e tests that CI runs, scoped to a single plugin or a whole category.

Which libraries can be instrumented?▼

Web frameworks like Flask and Django, HTTP clients like requests and httpx, and data stores like Redis, MySQL, MongoDB, and Kafka are all supported.

Do I need Docker to test plugins?▼

Yes for plugin integration tests, since they spin up real services via docker-compose; unit tests run directly with pytest and need no Docker.
