Spring WebClient Instrumentation #

Since 2.1.13

This is an experimental feature that is currently enabled by default. You can disable it by adding kanela.modules.spring.enabled = no to your configuration.

Overview #

The Spring WebClient instrumentation will automatically create spans for requests sent using Spring WebClient. All requests will have a name that corresponds to the request type sent by the client, and add HTTP trace and span headers to the request.

Example span and tags:
