Description

Currently, Apache Synapse does not have sophisticated support for modern tracing standardized. Therefore this new feature is intended to implement OpenTelemetery based tracing implementation for apache synapse.

 

This feature will include request-response training and inbound/outbound tracing at the transport level and the orchestration layer. Further, this also needs a really good investigation on Opentelemetry specification[1] and the Apache synapse transport component [1].

 

Relevant Skills

1. JAVA language
2. Understanding about observability 
3. Integration and Synapse configuration language.
