Java API Example 2: Starting a trace

example2.java

// Sample for a trace in the queue consumer
TraceEvent event = Trace.startTrace("BackendWorkerName");

// Because TraceView's UI like web applications, we'll use HTTP server KV pairs to leverage the UI fully
// source: https://docs.appneta.com/extending-traceview-customizing
event.addInfo("HTTP-Host", QUEUE_WORKER_HOSTNAME);
event.addInfo("URL", QUEUE_WORKER_HOSTNAME + "/" + TASK_NAME); // example for if there is a specific task type you'd like to segment on

// optional: use other KVs Controller, Action, Status, and Method to convey other data for the UI
event.report();

// DO THE WORK

Trace.endTrace("BackendWorkerName");
