# Distributed Tracing Specification
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Overview
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Distributed tracing for request tracking across services.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Distributed Tracing Strategy
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Solution**: OpenTelemetry or Jaeger
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Implementation**:
|
||
|
|
- Instrument services with tracing
|
||
|
|
- Propagate trace context
|
||
|
|
- Collect and store traces
|
||
|
|
- Visualize in UI
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Trace Sampling
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Sampling Strategy
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Head-Based Sampling**:
|
||
|
|
- Sample rate: 1% of requests
|
||
|
|
- Always sample errors
|
||
|
|
- Always sample slow requests (> 1s)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Tail-Based Sampling** (optional):
|
||
|
|
- Sample based on trace characteristics
|
||
|
|
- More efficient storage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Trace Correlation Across Services
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Trace Context Propagation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Headers**:
|
||
|
|
- `traceparent` (W3C Trace Context)
|
||
|
|
- `tracestate` (W3C Trace Context)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Propagation**: HTTP headers, message queue metadata
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Trace Structure
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
Trace (request)
|
||
|
|
├── Span (API Gateway)
|
||
|
|
│ ├── Span (Explorer API)
|
||
|
|
│ │ ├── Span (Database Query)
|
||
|
|
│ │ └── Span (Cache Lookup)
|
||
|
|
│ └── Span (Search Service)
|
||
|
|
└── Span (Response)
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Performance Analysis Workflows
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Analysis Steps
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Identify slow requests
|
||
|
|
2. Trace request path
|
||
|
|
3. Identify bottlenecks
|
||
|
|
4. Optimize slow components
|
||
|
|
5. Verify improvements
