Tracing block

Cerbos supports distributed tracing to provide insights into application performance and request lifecycle. To enable tracing, set sampleProbability to a value between 0.0 and 1.0. Setting the probability to 1.0 makes Cerbos capture tracing information for all requests and setting it to 0.0 disables capturing any traces.

The system to export the trace data must be specified using the exporter setting. Currently only Jaeger is supported.

Jaeger

Send trace data to Jaeger exporter

tracing:
  sampleProbability: 0.5
  exporter: jaeger
  jaeger:
    serviceName: cerbos
    agentEndpoint: "localhost:6831"

Send trace data to Jaeger collector

tracing:
  sampleProbability: 0.5
  exporter: jaeger
  jaeger:
    serviceName: cerbos
    collectorEndpoint: "http://localhost:14268"
