How to configure tracing in Go

The Go SDK provides support for distributed tracing through OpenTracing. Tracing allows you to view the call graph of a Workflow along with its Activities and any child Workflows.

Tracing can be configured by providing an opentracing.Tracer implementation in ClientOptions during client instantiation.

For more details on how to configure and leverage tracing, see the OpenTracing documentation.

The OpenTracing support has been validated using Jaeger, but other implementations mentioned here should also work.

Tracing functionality utilizes generic context propagation provided by the Client.
