Build A Simple Tracing System in Elixir

Jan 23, 2024 By Marcos Ramos In AppSignal
In this post, the first of a two-part series, we'll cover how Elixir applications can be traced using OpenTelemetry and how macros can make this process super easy and streamlined. First, we'll talk about tracing and OpenTelemetry in Elixir. Then we'll improve our custom tracing layer step-by-step until we get an easy and seamless tool to trace our application. Let's get started!

OpenTelemetry based Distributed Tracing for WSO2 API Manager

Mar 22, 2023 By WSO2 In WSO2
Tracing is one of the three pillars of observability. Tracing an API call in WSO2 API Manager is important to observe, identify possible bottlenecks in an API invocation path, and debug them. WSO2 API Manager facilitates tracing API invocation paths and publishing the traces based on the OpenTelemetry standard, using multiple tracers, namely: OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP), Jaeger, Zipkin, Log & Custom Tracer. This demo outlines important concepts of OpenTelemetry based distributed tracing in WSO2 API Manager, followed by a demonstration of publishing traces using the OTLP Tracer to Elastic APM, when invoking a sample API.
