Distributed tracing
Learn how to utilize New Relic to gain insight into the flow of requests as they travel through your distributed systems. By enabling, configuring, and utilizing distributed tracing you will be able to fill instrumentation gaps in your services.
Microservice environments can include dozens of services, making it difficult to determine request paths and diagnose issues.
Distributed tracing is more important than ever for software teams that work in the cloud and have adopted microservice architectures. By using New Relic distributed tracing, your teams gain visibility into your complex systems, enabling them to identify and diagnose issues such as latency, errors, and bottlenecks.
After completing this course, you will be able to…
- Enable distributed tracing to attain insight into requests as they travel through distributed systems.
- Identify how trace context is preserved between services in order to provide a complete picture of a request.
- Filter and parse through distributed trace data on the New Relic platform in order to identify potential issues and facilitate root cause analysis.
- Avoid instrumentation gaps by utilizing distributed tracing best practices and troubleshooting tips.
