Server tracking traces #30

Closed tsloughter closed 6 years ago

tsloughter commented 6 years ago

The census standard includes the ability to get information from a host about the current requests and metrics.

I believe we'll need a process for centrally tracking this information (I'll open a separate issue about one of the ways it is to be exposed to the user, zpages). Possibly an ets table would be used even by ocp for the actual span, only keeping the span id/context in the pdict? I'm not sure.

Closing this as the first bit is included in #49 and will open a new issue for any future work.
