Tracing Libraries

Posted on November 25, 2018 by Ernesto Garbarino

A tracing library helps publish log data in a structured format that allows a tracing aggregator to construct a graph that represents the interaction of several distributed components.

Open Tracing API: The Open Tracing API publishes trace information compatible with the Open Tracing aggregator.
Spring Cloud Sleuth: Spring Cloud Sleuth helps publish trace information in a variety of formats (e.g. Zipkin) in a transparent, implicit manner in the case of Spring-based applications.
