Today, we’re introducing Cloudflare Traces in open beta, extending automatic tracing beyond Workers to the rest of the request path. In one trace, you can see supported security rules, transformations, cache decisions, routing, Worker execution, and origin handling, then continue that trace through services running on Cloudflare, at your origin, or elsewhere in your stack. This is a long-term investment in OpenTelemetry and in making Cloudflare the most observable part of your stack.
You can now:
- Automatically trace requests across Cloudflare: Capture supported platform operations in one request-level timeline, no additional set up required.
- Control which requests are traced: Set a baseline sampling rate, then use Trace Rules to override it for matching traffic.
- End-to-end trace context propagation: Accept and forward W3C traceparent headers
- Investigate traces in Cloudflare: View request timelines and span details directly in the Cloudflare dashboard.
- Export traces with OpenTelemetry: Send your spans to any destination with a compatible Open Telemetry Protocol (OTLP) endpoint.
