1DS C/C++ SDK

1DS C/C++ SDK enables cross-platform telemetry collection from various Microsoft products. It enables data / telemetry upload to Collector++.

1DS (One Data Strategy), also known as One Observability, is a cross-org initiative with five teams across the company coming together to unify multiple telemetry efforts at Microsoft. This includes the teams that built Asimov, Aria, Shared Data Platform, Geneva, OMS, Azure Monitor, and Visual Studio App Center. We aim to create a unified data collection, ingestion, pipeline, and set of tools for key scenarios for the entire company.

Collector++ is the externally-facing destination end-point where telemetry data is uploaded to that subsequently routes the data to Microsoft internal data pipeline.

Getting Started

New customer?

• The 1DS C/C++ SDK is designed for Microsoft products to send data to public-facing end-points which route to Microsoft's internal data pipeline. It is not meant to be used outside of Microsoft products and is open-sourced to demonstrate best practices and to be transparent about what is being collected.

• Users with Microsoft Organization GH account, please refer to the link here for internal community discussion channels.

Need support?

• Microsoft products using SDK may use GitHub issues as the communication channel for both feature requests and issues.

Want to Contribute?

• This project does not accept Public contributions at this time.

• Microsoft-authorized contributors - please refer to contributing instructions here.**

Release policy:

The SDK is released as a source package on need basis. There is no plan to release prebuilt binaries.

Build

Platform specific build instructions:

• Windows
• Windows/clang
• Mac
• Linux. WSL or Docker can be used to build for various Linux distros. Please refer to build-docker.cmd script and the list of supported containers. Docker build script accepts the container name as first argument.
• iOS/iPadOS
• Android

Other resources to learn how to setup the build system:

• Review how our cross-platform build system is implemented using GitHub Actions infrastructure.
• Check the build scripts located in workspace root.

• Supported - these platforms are known to work well with the SDK in production.
• Covered by CI - these platforms are tested as part of CI.

Test

There are two sets of tests available:

• tests/unittests - unit tests that verify operation of each individual component.
• tests/functests - functional tests that verify customer-facing APIs and features, they also cover the flow of data to Collector++.

These tests use Google Test / Google Mock framework and get built alongside the SDK. Launch functests and unittests binary executables to capture the test results.

Note:

• Please refer to the supported platforms, anything not in the list should be treated as a feature request.
• Only C and C++ API surface is supported - any other language wrappers are provided as-is, and not supported.
• Build issues are in general out of the support scope due to the unlimited number of build flags combinations.
