The Case for More Flexible Distributed Tracing
Lucas Castanheira, Theophilus Benson, Alberto Egon Schaeffer-Filho · 2020
Distributed tracing has been widely adopted as a means to troubleshoot distributed systems in which traditional, device-centric debugging loses traction. However, the debugging capabilities of tracing are underused today because of the immutable nature of tracing instrumentation. Additionally, current tracing solutions do not address in-network compute, and hence cannot be considered end-to-end.
