The traces are collected via an OpenTelemetry collector. Tracing allows you to log information about an app's behavior during its execution.
You can view detailed information using the Deep Dependency graph button or download results for further analysis using the Download Results button. Also, Flogo apps allow you to view tracing information using the Jaeger backend.
As the app travels through different services, each segment is recorded as a span. A span is a building block of a trace and represents work done with time intervals and associated metadata. All the spans of an app are combined into a single trace to give you a picture of an entire request.
