distributed tracing with Axon server

Hi,
When using distributed tracing - for example via Jaeger, leveraged by Istio (running on Kubernetes), will Axon server (when deployed outside of the K8 cluster) propagate the tracing headers?

It might be perfectly feasible that one microservice handles events raised by another microservice through Axon Server.

Thank you
Kurt

Hi Kurt,

This should be feasible already. Have you tried that and experienced some issues?

Not by default, you should incorporate axon tracing extension for that :

Yes, the extension is required.
There is a blog post as well: https://blog.trifork.com/2019/03/18/distributed-tracing-in-an-axon-application/

Best,

Awesome, thanks for the info!
