For example, sending an RPC is a new span, as is sending a response to an RPC.
Spans 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 IDs (normally IP addresses).</p><p>Spans can be 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 class="tip" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><table border="0" summary="Tip"><tr><td rowspan="2" align="center" valign="top" width="25"><img alt="[Tip]" src="images/tip.png"></td><th align="left">Tip</th></tr><tr><td align="left" valign="top"><p>The initial span that starts a trace is called a <code class="literal">root span</code>. The value of the ID
of that span is equal to the trace ID.</p></td></tr></table></div><p><span class="strong"><strong>Trace:</strong></span> A set of spans forming a tree-like structure.
For example, if you run a distributed big-data store, a trace might be formed by a <code class="literal">PUT</code> request.</p><p><span class="strong"><strong>Annotation:</strong></span> Used to record the existence of an event in time. With
<a class="link" href="https://github.com/openzipkin/brave" target="_top">Brave</a> instrumentation, we no longer need to set special events
for <a class="link" href="https://zipkin.io/" target="_top">Zipkin</a> to understand who the client and server are, where
the request started, and where it ended. For learning purposes,
however, we mark these events to highlight what kind
of an action took place.</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><span class="strong"><strong>cs</strong></span>: Client Sent. The client has made a request. This annotation indicates the start of the span.</li><li class="listitem"><span class="strong"><strong>sr</strong></span>: Server Received: The server side got the request and started processing it.
Subtracting the <code class="literal">cs</code> timestamp from this timestamp reveals the network latency.</li><li class="listitem"><span class="strong"><strong>ss</strong></span>: Server Sent. Annotated upon completion of request processing (when the response got sent back to the client).
Subtracting the <code class="literal">sr</code> timestamp from this timestamp reveals the time needed by the server side to process the request.</li><li class="listitem"><span class="strong"><strong>cr</strong></span>: Client Received. Signifies the end of the span.
The client has successfully received the response from the server side.
Subtracting the <code class="literal">cs</code> timestamp from this timestamp reveals the whole time needed by the client to receive the response from the server.</li></ul></div><p>The following image shows how <span class="strong"><strong>Span</strong></span> and <span class="strong"><strong>Trace</strong></span> look in a system, together with the Zipkin annotations:</p><div class="informalfigure"><div class="mediaobject"><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-sleuth/master/docs/src/main/asciidoc/images/trace-id.png" alt="Trace Info propagation"></div></div><p>Each color of a note signifies a span (there are seven spans - from <span class="strong"><strong>A</strong></span> to <span class="strong"><strong>G</strong></span>).
Consider the following note:</p><pre class="screen">Trace Id = X
Span Id = D
Client Sent</pre><p>This note indicates that the current span has <span class="strong"><strong>Trace Id</strong></span> set to <span class="strong"><strong>X</strong></span> and <span class="strong"><strong>Span Id</strong></span> set to <span class="strong"><strong>D</strong></span>.
Also, the <code class="literal">Client Sent</code> event took place.</p><p>The following image shows how parent-child relationships of spans look:</p><div class="informalfigure"><div class="mediaobject"><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-sleuth/master/docs/src/main/asciidoc/images/parents.png" alt="Parent child relationship"></div></div></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="_purpose" href="#_purpose"></a>1.2&nbsp;Purpose</h2></div></div></div><p>The following sections refer to the example shown in the preceding image.</p><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="_distributed_tracing_with_zipkin" href="#_distributed_tracing_with_zipkin"></a>1.2.1&nbsp;Distributed Tracing with Zipkin</h3></div></div></div><p>This example has seven spans.
If you go to traces in Zipkin, you can see this number in the second trace, as shown in the following image:</p><div class="informalfigure"><div class="mediaobject"><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-sleuth/master/docs/src/main/asciidoc/images/zipkin-traces.png" alt="Traces"></div></div><p>However, if you pick a particular trace, you can see four spans, as shown in the following image:</p><div class="informalfigure"><div class="mediaobject"><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-sleuth/master/docs/src/main/asciidoc/images/zipkin-ui.png" alt="Traces Info propagation"></div></div><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><table border="0" summary="Note"><tr><td rowspan="2" align="center" valign="top" width="25"><img alt="[Note]" src="images/note.png"></td><th align="left">Note</th></tr><tr><td align="left" valign="top"><p>When you pick a particular trace, you see merged spans.
That means that, if there were two spans sent to Zipkin with Server Received and Server Sent or Client Received and Client Sent annotations, they are presented as a single span.</p></td></tr></table></div><p>Why is there a difference between the seven and four spans in this case?</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem">Two spans come from the <code class="literal">http:/start</code> span.

The Client Sent (<code class="literal">cs</code>) and Client Received (<code class="literal">cr</code>) events took place on the <code class="literal">service1</code> side.
Server Received (<code class="literal">sr</code>) and Server Sent (<code class="literal">ss</code>) events took place on the <code class="literal">service2</code> side.
These two spans form one logical span related to an RPC call.</li><li class="listitem">Two spans come from the RPC call from <code class="literal">service2</code> to <code class="literal">service3</code> to the <code class="literal">http:/bar</code> endpoint.
The Client Sent (<code class="literal">cs</code>) and Client Received (<code class="literal">cr</code>) events took place on the <code class="literal">service2</code> side.
The Server Received (<code class="literal">sr</code>) and Server Sent (<code class="literal">ss</code>) events took place on the <code class="literal">service3</code> side.
These two spans form one logical span related to an RPC call.</li><li class="listitem">Two spans come from the RPC call from <code class="literal">service2</code> to <code class="literal">service4</code> to the <code class="literal">http:/baz</code> endpoint.

Server Received (<code class="literal">sr</code>) and Server Sent (<code class="literal">ss</code>) events took place on the <code class="literal">service4</code> side.
These two spans form one logical span related to an RPC call.</li></ul></div><p>So, if we count the physical spans, we have one from <code class="literal">http:/start</code>, two from <code class="literal">service1</code> calling <code class="literal">service2</code>, two from <code class="literal">service2</code>
calling <code class="literal">service3</code>, and two from <code class="literal">service2</code> calling <code class="literal">service4</code>. In sum, we have a total of seven spans.</p><p>Logically, we see the information of four total Spans because we have one span related to the incoming request
to <code class="literal">service1</code> and three spans related to RPC calls.</p></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="_visualizing_errors" href="#_visualizing_errors"></a>1.2.2&nbsp;Visualizing errors</h3></div></div></div><p>Zipkin lets you visualize errors in your trace.
When an exception was thrown and was not caught, we set proper tags on the span, which Zipkin can then properly colorize.
You could see in the list of traces one trace that is red. That appears because an exception was thrown.</p><p>If you click that trace, you see a similar picture, as follows:</p><div class="informalfigure"><div class="mediaobject"><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-sleuth/master/docs/src/main/asciidoc/images/zipkin-error-traces.png" alt="Error Traces"></div></div><p>If you then click on one of the spans, you see the following</p><div class="informalfigure"><div class="mediaobject"><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-sleuth/master/docs/src/main/asciidoc/images/zipkin-error-trace-screenshot.png" alt="Error Traces Info propagation"></div></div><p>The span shows the reason for the error and the whole stack trace related to it.</p></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="_distributed_tracing_with_brave" href="#_distributed_tracing_with_brave"></a>1.2.3&nbsp;Distributed Tracing with Brave</h3></div></div></div><p>Starting with version <code class="literal">2.0.0</code>, Spring Cloud Sleuth uses <a class="link" href="https://github.com/openzipkin/brave" target="_top">Brave</a> as the tracing library.
Consequently, Sleuth no longer takes care of storing the context but delegates that work to Brave.</p><p>Due to the fact that Sleuth had different naming and tagging conventions than Brave, we decided to follow Brave&#8217;s conventions from now on.

The next two examples show how that might work for a client and a server.</p><p>The following example shows how client-side propagation might work:</p><pre class="programlisting"><em><span class="hl-annotation" style="color: gray">@Autowired</span></em> Tracing tracing;

For example, if you are in a Cloud Foundry environment, you might want to pass the request ID, as shown in the following example:</p><pre class="programlisting"><span xmlns:d="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" class="hl-comment">// when you initialize the builder, define the extra field you want to propagate</span>
Tracing.newBuilder().propagationFactory(
ExtraFieldPropagation.newFactory(B3Propagation.FACTORY, <span xmlns:d="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" class="hl-string">"x-vcap-request-id"</span>)
);
<span xmlns:d="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" class="hl-comment">// later, you can tag that request ID or use it in log correlation</span>
requestId = ExtraFieldPropagation.get(<span xmlns:d="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" class="hl-string">"x-vcap-request-id"</span>);</pre><p>You may also need to propagate a trace context that you are not using.
For example, you may be in an Amazon Web Services environment but not be reporting data to X-Ray.
To ensure X-Ray can co-exist correctly, pass-through its tracing header, as shown in the following example:</p><pre class="programlisting">tracingBuilder.propagationFactory(
ExtraFieldPropagation.newFactory(B3Propagation.FACTORY, <span xmlns:d="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" class="hl-string">"x-amzn-trace-id"</span>)
