# 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
