Description

zipkin is an awesome distributed tracing system:
http://zipkin.io/

its already integrated into various things like jaxrs and http:
https://github.com/openzipkin/brave/tree/master/brave-jaxrs2
https://github.com/openzipkin/brave/tree/master/brave-http

along with camel:
https://github.com/apache/camel/tree/master/components/camel-zipkin

it'd be nice of we could trace requests which are made across ActiveMQ Artemis too so we could generate nice trace diagrams like this:

mostly this means having the ability to replicate Zipkin headers from an inbound message to outbound messages for the same Session so that the zipkin breadcrumbs can flow across messaging along with http / jaxrs / camel etc.
