Tracing in GitLab is an integration with Jaeger, an open-source end-to-end distributed tracing system. GitLab users can navigate to their Jaeger instance to gain insight into the performance of a deployed application, tracking each function or microservice that handles a given request. Tracing in GitLab is deprecated in GitLab 14.7, and scheduled for removal in 15.0. To track work on a possible replacement, see the issue for [Opstrace integration with GitLab](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/6976). # The following items are not published on the docs page, but may be used in the future. stage: Monitor # (optional - may be required in the future) String value of the stage that the feature was created in. e.g., Growth tiers: [Free] # (optional - may be required in the future) An array of tiers that the feature is available in currently. e.g., [Free, Silver, Gold, Core, Premium, Ultimate] issue_url: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/346540 # (optional) This is a link to the deprecation issue in GitLab documentation_url: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/operations/tracing.html#tracing # (optional) This is a link to the current documentation page image_url: # (optional) This is a link to a thumbnail image depicting the feature video_url: # (optional) Use the youtube thumbnail URL with the structure of https://img.youtube.com/vi/UNIQUEID/hqdefault.jpg
