OpenTracing Toolbox

⚠

This project is in maintenance mode - because OpenTracing has been archived.

Please migrate your OpenTracing applications to OpenTelemetry.

We will continue to support this project with bugfixes until most applications in Zalando have been migrated to OpenTelemetry.

OpenTracing Toolbox is a collection of libraries that build on top of OpenTracing and provide extensions and plugins to existing instrumentations.

• Status: Under development and used in production

Features

• Legacy FlowID compatibility support
• JDBC support
• Extensible OpenTracing Proxy (wrapper) w/ support for listeners and interceptors
• Servlet support
• Spring Web and Webflux support
• Sensible defaults

The opentracing-flowid module replaces the former zalando/tracer library by providing support for the X-Flow-ID header propagation on top of OpenTracing.

Alternatives

Tracer, by design, does not provide sampling, metrics or annotations. Neither does it use the semantics of spans as most of the following projects do. If you require any of these, you're highly encouraged to try them.

• The OpenTracing Project
• Apache HTrace
• Spring Cloud Sleuth
• Zipkin
