Tracing information is collected on each host using the instrumented libraries and sent to Zipkin. When the host makes a request to another service, it passes a few tracing identifers along with the request so we can later tie the data together.
The following libraries exist to provide instrumentation on various platforms. Please refer to their individual documentation for setup and configuration guides.
| Language | Library | Framework | Transports Supported | Sampling Supported? | Other notes |
