+description: Set up distributed tracing
+---
+
+# Distributed Tracing Setup
+
+Implement distributed tracing for end-to-end request visibility in microservices.
+
+## Tracing Components
+
+1. **Trace Context Propagation**: Header-based context passing
+2. **Span Creation**: Service and operation instrumentation
+3. **Trace Collection**: Centralized trace aggregation
+4. **Trace Analysis**: Latency breakdown and bottleneck detection
+5. **Sampling Strategy**: Managing trace volume and cost
+
+## Process
+
+1. Choose tracing backend (Jaeger, Zipkin, Datadog APM, etc.)
+2. Design instrumentation strategy
+3. Implement OpenTelemetry or vendor SDK
+4. Configure context propagation
+5. Set up trace collection and storage
+6. Create trace analysis dashboards
+
+## Output
+
+Provide:
+- Tracing SDK integration code
+- Instrumentation for key services
+- Context propagation configuration
+- Sampling strategy recommendations
+- Backend setup instructions (Jaeger/Zipkin/etc.)
+- Dashboard configuration for trace analysis
+- Performance impact assessment
