Enable tracing for a client before applications send spans. Disabling tracing stops the intended collection path but does not delete data already retained in OpsRamp.

Enable tracing

1. Confirm that your role permits tracing configuration.
2. Select the intended client and open tracing configuration.
3. Enable tracing and obtain the approved endpoint and credentials.
4. Configure manual application instrumentation or the collector explicitly.
5. Send a representative request and verify it in Trace Explorer.

Disable tracing

1. Identify every application and collector that exports for the client.
2. Stop or remove their trace export configuration.
3. Disable the client tracing capability through the supported administrative workflow.
4. Verify that new spans no longer arrive while historical data remains available through its retention period.
