Distributed Tracing

A comprehensive reference guide for implementing observability in service mesh deployments. Provides configuration templates for distributed tracing (Jaeger), metrics collection (Prometheus), dashboards (Grafana), and visualization (Kiali), along with PromQL queries and alerting rules for monitoring service-to-service communication.

This skill provides comprehensive guidance for implementing distributed tracing in microservices architectures using Jaeger and Tempo. It covers Kubernetes and Docker deployments, application instrumentation with OpenTelemetry for Python, Node.js, and Go, context propagation patterns, sampling strategies, and integration with logging systems.
