Tracing HTTP headers #3631

Open FWiesner opened 3 years ago

FWiesner commented 3 years ago

In our platform we have generic request handling pipelines where the caller and the downstream resource servers may support Zipkin B3 headers, W3C Trace Context, etc.

We therefore would like to understand what is the plan on supporting W3C Trace Context and W3C Baggage specs (and OpenTelemetry)

(working through some long-open issues)

@FWiesner, I believe at this point Helidon 3 and 4 support trace and baggage headers. OpenTelemetry support is more or less latent in Helidon 3 and is a first-class tracer provider in Helidon 4.

I'll plan to close this issue in a week or so if we don't hear otherwise from you.

Thanks.
