Tracing Trait

The Tracing trait can be used to automatically publish tracing information to an OpenTracing compatible collector.

The trait is able to automatically discover the tracing endpoint available in the namespace (supports Jaeger).

The Tracing trait is disabled by default.

This trait is available in the following profiles: Kubernetes, Knative, OpenShift.

Configuration

Trait properties can be specified when running any integration with the CLI:

$ kamel run --trait tracing.[key]=[value] --trait tracing.[key2]=[value2] integration.groovy

The following configuration options are available:
