Which tracing backends does this skill support?

This skill primarily supports Jaeger and Grafana Tempo, providing configuration templates and deployment strategies for both tools.

Is OpenTelemetry instrumentation covered?

Yes, the skill provides detailed implementation patterns for OpenTelemetry across popular frameworks like Flask (Python), Express (Node.js), and Go.

How does this skill handle tracing overhead?

It includes best practices for sampling strategies, such as probabilistic and rate-limiting sampling, to ensure observability doesn't negatively impact system performance.

Can this skill help with log correlation?

Absolutely. It provides specific patterns for injecting trace IDs into application logs to enable seamless correlation between traces and logs.
