OpenTracing

OpenTracing is an open standard for distributed tracing, which allows tracing of requests from beginning to end across multiple touchpoints and microservices in a large scale applications.

Common use cases:

  • Microservices - follow the journey a transactions takes through microservices architecture.
  • Arbitration — tracing the full history of a single process, determining its behavior when multiple services contact it in parallel rather than sequentially.

Different tools implements OpenTracing standard by providing a timeline view of requests using the OpenTracing terminology (spans, tags, span context etc...). Rookout can integrate with such tools and fetch tracing data.

  3. Trigger the Breakpoint and open a message
  4. On the right side of the message pane, click on the Tracing tab.

Rookout Tracing information is available for Java and Python applications that implement OpenTracing. For more information, contact us at support@rookout.com.
