Enable New Relic Distributed Tracing for Java microservices quickly: set the agent flag, tune sampling, verify in UI/NRQL, and understand the performance trade‑offs. Follow our step‑by‑step guide to see end‑to‑end request paths and root‑cause latency hotspots.
Head sampling drops traces before knowing if they matter. Tail sampling in the OpenTelemetry Collector waits for the whole trace -- here's how to configure it and what it costs.
Attach the Datadog Java Agent with -javaagent, configure unified service tags and sampling, add custom spans with @Trace, and verify traces end to end in the Trace Explorer.
Configure Jaeger’s adaptive sampling to keep trace ingestion near a target rate. Step‑by‑step instructions, verification, and rollback options.
Learn how New Relic's automatic distributed tracing gives end-to-end visibility across microservices, with a worked example, NRQL query, and tips on managing volume and retention.
Learn how to use Sentry's Distributed Tracing to link requests across microservices using header propagation and sampling strategies to identify latency bottlenecks.
Learn how to enable Datadog APM distributed tracing for microservices, verify traces appear in the UI, and manage sampling and overhead trade‑offs.
Capture business identifiers like customer ID or tenant from HTTP headers or method arguments using Dynatrace Request Attributes. This guide covers UI and API configuration, metric splitting, cardinality limits, and common pitfalls.
Traces appear for some services but distributed traces are broken. Use this diagnostic guide to check sampling, service names, agent health and intake connectivity in Datadog APM for microservices.
