[![OpenTracing-1.x Badge](https://img.shields.io/badge/OpenTracing--1.x-enabled-blue.svg)](http://opentracing.io)

* Provide Java agent, **no need to CHANGE any application source code**.
  * High performance agent. Only increase extra **10%** cpu cost in 5000+ tps application, even **when collect all traces**.
  * [Supported middlewares, frameworks and libraries](docs/Supported-list.md).
* Manual instrumentation
  * As an [OpenTracing supported tracer](http://opentracing.io/documentation/pages/supported-tracers)
  * Use **@Trace** annotation for any methods you want to trace.
  * Integrate traceId into logs for log4j, log4j2 and logback.
* Pure Java server implementation, provide RESTful and gRPC services. Compatibility with other language agents/SDKs.
