Traces

The Traces tab displays the traces for an application. A trace represents a complete execution made up of single or multiple spans. For more information, see Traces.

Configuration requirements to enable tracing for TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks5

To enable tracing at application level, add the necessary properties in the application TRA file located at <TIBCO_HOME>\tra\domain\<Domain_name>\application\<application_name>\.

To apply the configuration across all the applications deployed and created from a specific TIBCO_HOME, add the properties to bwengine.tra.

Properties Description
java.property.bw.engine.opentelemetry.enable=true

To enabling tracing use this property.

Note: By default auto mode is selected.
java.property.otel.exporter.otlp.traces.protocol=http/protobuf

The grpc protocol is set by default, however Control Plane users should explicitly set it to http/protobuf.
java.property.bw.engine.opentelemetry.disableAutoConfiguration=true

Use this property to disable the default auto mode and set it to manual mode.
java.property.bw.engine.opentelemetry.span.exporter=OTLP-HTTP

For manual mode the span exporter is set to OTLP-GRPC by default, however Control Plane users should explicitly set it to OTLP-HTTP.
java.property.otel.exporter.otlp.traces.endpoint=http://<BareMetal_DP_MachineName>/tibco/agent/o11y/<DataPlane_ID>/traces For auto configuration mode, define this property as the endpoint.
java.property.bw.engine.opentelemetry.span.exporter.endpoint=http://<BareMetal_DP_MachineName>/tibco/agent/o11y/<DataPlane_ID>/traces

For manual configuration mode, define this property as the endpoint
