Instana

To enable the Instana tracer:

tracing:
  instana: {}

[tracing]
  [tracing.instana]

--tracing.instana=true

localAgentHost

Required, Default="127.0.0.1"

Local Agent Host instructs reporter to send spans to the Instana Agent at this address.

tracing:
  instana:
    localAgentHost: 127.0.0.1

[tracing]
  [tracing.instana]
    localAgentHost = "127.0.0.1"

--tracing.instana.localAgentHost=127.0.0.1

localAgentPort

Required, Default=42699

Local Agent port instructs reporter to send spans to the Instana Agent listening on this port.

tracing:
  instana:
    localAgentPort: 42699

[tracing]
  [tracing.instana]
    localAgentPort = 42699

--tracing.instana.localAgentPort=42699

logLevel

Required, Default="info"

Sets Instana tracer log level.

Valid values are:

• error
• warn
• debug
• info

tracing:
  instana:
    logLevel: info

[tracing]
  [tracing.instana]
    logLevel = "info"

--tracing.instana.logLevel=info

enableAutoProfile

Required, Default=false

Enables automatic profiling for the Traefik process.

tracing:
  instana:
    enableAutoProfile: true

[tracing]
  [tracing.instana]
    enableAutoProfile = true

--tracing.instana.enableAutoProfile=true
