# Distributed Tracing Setup
Set up distributed tracing for microservices using OpenTelemetry, Jaeger, or Zipkin with context propagation, span creation, and trace collection configuration.
## Overview
This skill streamlines the process of setting up distributed tracing in a microservices environment. It guides you through the key steps of instrumenting your services, configuring trace context propagation, and selecting a backend for trace collection and analysis, enabling comprehensive monitoring and debugging.
## How It Works
1. **Backend Selection**: Determines the preferred tracing backend (e.g., Jaeger, Zipkin, Datadog).
2. **Instrumentation Strategy**: Designs an instrumentation strategy for each service, focusing on key operations and dependencies.
3. **Configuration Generation**: Generates the necessary configuration files and code snippets to enable distributed tracing.
