This section introduces how to use the "WizTelemetry Tracing" extension.

WizTelemetry Tracing provides distributed tracing functionality based on OpenTelemetry.

Tracing is a technique for monitoring distributed systems. It identifies each request with a unique Trace ID and records the request’s flow path across various services. As a request traverses the system, key operations within each service are recorded as Spans, containing critical information such as duration and status. These Spans form a complete call chain (Trace) through parent-child relationships, allowing you to clearly observe the full request flow through visualization tools and quickly locate delays, errors, or performance bottlenecks. For more information, please refer to the OpenTelemetry official documentation.

After installing the "WizTelemetry Tracing" extension, the Tracing menu will appear in the WizTelemetry Observability Platform within the Component Dock.
