    Tracing

    Visualize the Requests Flow

    The tracing system allows developers to visualize call flows in their infrastructure.

    Traefik uses OpenTracing, an open standard designed for distributed tracing.

    Traefik supports five tracing backends:

    • Jaeger
    • Zipkin
    • Datadog
    • Instana
    • Haystack

    Configuration

    By default, Traefik uses Jaeger as tracing backend.

    To enable the tracing:

    1. [tracing]
    1. tracing: {}
    1. --tracing=true

    Common Options

    serviceName

    Required, Default="traefik"

    Service name used in selected backend.

    1. [tracing]
    2.   serviceName = "traefik"
    1. tracing:
    2.   serviceName: traefik
    1. --tracing.serviceName="traefik"

    spanNameLimit

    Required, Default=0

    Span name limit allows for name truncation in case of very long names.This can prevent certain tracing providers to drop traces that exceed their length limits.

    0 means no truncation will occur.

    1. [tracing]
    2.   spanNameLimit = 150
    1. tracing:
    2.   spanNameLimit: 150
    1. --tracing.spanNameLimit=150
