<p>Spring Cloud Sleuth implements a distributed tracing solution for <a href="http://cloud.spring.io">Spring Cloud</a>.</p>
</div>
</div>

<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_terminology">Terminology</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Spring Cloud Sleuth borrows <a href="http://research.google.com/pubs/pub36356.html">Dapper&#8217;s</a> terminology.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p><strong>Span:</strong> The basic unit of work. For example, sending an RPC is a new span, as is sending a response to an
RPC. Span&#8217;s are identified by a unique 64-bit ID for the span and another 64-bit ID for the trace the span
is a part of. Spans also have other data, such as descriptions, timestamped events, key-value
annotations (tags), the ID of the span that caused them, and process ID&#8217;s (normally IP address).</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Spans are started and stopped, and they keep track of their timing information. Once you create a
span, you must stop it at some point in the future.</p>
</div>
<div class="admonitionblock tip">
<table>
<tr>
<td class="icon">
<div class="title">Tip</div>
</td>
<td class="content">
The initial span that starts a trace is called a <code>root span</code>. The value of span id
of that span is equal to trace id.
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p><strong>Trace:</strong> A set of spans forming a tree-like structure. For example, if you are running a distributed
big-data store, a trace might be formed by a put request.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p><strong>Annotation:</strong> is used to record existence of an event in time. Some of the core annotations used to define
the start and stop of a request are:</p>
</div>
<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>
<p><strong>cs</strong> - Client Sent - The client has made a request. This annotation depicts the start of the span.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>sr</strong> - Server Received - The server side got the request and will start processing it.
If one subtracts the cs timestamp from this timestamp one will receive the network latency.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>ss</strong> - Server Sent - Annotated upon completion of request processing (when the response
got sent back to the client). If one subtracts the sr timestamp from this timestamp one
will receive the time needed by the server side to process the request.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>cr</strong> - Client Received - Signifies the end of the span. The client has successfully received the
response from the server side. If one subtracts the cs timestamp from this timestamp one
will receive the whole time needed by the client to receive the response from the server.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Visualization of what <strong>Span</strong> and <strong>Trace</strong> will look in a system together with the Zipkin annotations:</p>
</div>

</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Each color of a note signifies a span (7 spans - from <strong>A</strong> to <strong>G</strong>). If you have such information in the note:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre class="highlight"><code>Trace Id = X
Span Id = D
Client Sent</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>That means that the current span has <strong>Trace-Id</strong> set to <strong>X</strong>, <strong>Span-Id</strong> set to <strong>D</strong>. It also has emitted
<strong>Client Sent</strong> event.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>This is how the visualization of the parent / child relationship of spans would look like:</p>

<p>Altogether there are <strong>10 spans</strong> . If you go to traces in Zipkin you will see this number:</p>

<p>However if you pick a particular trace then you will see <strong>7 spans</strong>:</p>

<td class="content">
When picking a particular trace you will see merged spans. That means that if there were 2 spans sent to
Zipkin with Server Received and Server Sent / Client Received and Client Sent
annotations then they will presented as a single span.
</td>

</table>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>In the image depicting the visualization of what <strong>Span</strong> and <strong>Trace</strong> is you can see 20
colorful labels. How does it happen that in Zipkin 10 spans are received?</p>
</div>
<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>
<p>2 span <strong>A</strong> labels signify span started and closed. Upon closing a single span is sent to Zipkin.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>4 span <strong>B</strong> labels are in fact are single span with 4 annotations. However this span is composed of
two separate instances. One sent from service 1 and one from service 2. So in fact two span instances will be sent
to Zipkin and merged there.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>2 span <strong>C</strong> labels signify span started and closed. Upon closing a single span is sent to Zipkin.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>4 span <strong>B</strong> labels are in fact are single span with 4 annotations. However this span is composed of
two separate instances. One sent from service 2 and one from service 3. So in fact two span instances will be sent

</li>
<li>
<p>2 span <strong>E</strong> labels signify span started and closed. Upon closing a single span is sent to Zipkin.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>4 span <strong>B</strong> labels are in fact are single span with 4 annotations. However this span is composed of
two separate instances. One sent from service 2 and one from service 4. So in fact two span instances will be sent

</li>
<li>
<p>2 span <strong>G</strong> labels signify span started and closed. Upon closing a single span is sent to Zipkin.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>So 1 span from <strong>A</strong>, 2 spans from <strong>B</strong>, 1 span from <strong>C</strong>, 2 spans from <strong>D</strong>, 1 span from <strong>E</strong>, 2 spans from <strong>F</strong> and 1 from <strong>G</strong>.
Altogether <strong>10</strong> spans.</p>

<h2 id="_sampling">Sampling</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>In distributed tracing the data volumes can be very high so sampling
can be important (you usually don&#8217;t need to export all spans to get a
good picture of what is happening). Spring Cloud Sleuth has a
<code>Sampler</code> strategy that you can implement to take control of the
sampling algorithm. Samplers do not stop span (correlation) ids from
being generated, but they do prevent the tags and events being
attached and exported. By default you get a strategy that continues to
trace if a span is already active, but new ones are always marked as
non-exportable. If all your apps run with this sampler you will see
traces in logs, but not in any remote store. For testing the default
is often enough, and it probably is all you need if you are only using
the logs (e.g. with an ELK aggregator). If you are exporting span data
to Zipkin or Spring Cloud Stream, there is also an <code>AlwaysSampler</code>
that exports everything and a <code>PercentageBasedSampler</code> that samples a
fixed fraction of spans.</p>

the <code>PercentageBasedSampler</code> is the default if you are using
<code>spring-cloud-sleuth-zipkin</code> or <code>spring-cloud-sleuth-stream</code>. You can
configure the exports using <code>spring.sleuth.sampler.percentage</code>. The passed
value needs to be a double from <code>0.0</code> to <code>1.0</code> so it&#8217;s not a percentage.
