Distributed Tracing and Monitoring with OpenCensus

on YouTube ↗01h 02m

" summary

OpenCensus provides identical tracing and metrics APIs across languages, exports traces to Zipkin and Jaeger and metrics to Stackdriver metrics, and runs either agentless or with an agent+collector that enables runtime exporter changes. Demos use C# in Docker: Zipkin shows full traces, Stackdriver receives periodic metric aggregates, and a Hipster Shop demo proves tail-based sampling captures only error traces while head-sampling floods storage. zPages are available in other languages now; C# support is coming.
