HCP for cloud scale uses an open-source software tool, running over HTTPS as a service, for service tracing through a browser.
The Tracing service supports end-to-end, distributed tracing of S3 requests and responses by HCP for cloud scale services. Tracing helps you monitor performance and troubleshoot possible issues.
Tracing involves three service instances:
- Tracing Query: serves traces
- Tracing Agent: receives spans from tracers
- Tracing Collector: receives spans from Tracing Agent service using Tchannel
