Description

Hi,

When I use opentracing with spring boot, I found opentracing generate spans for

  • component : "java-web-servlet"
  • component : "feign"
  • class : "MbmsPromOper"

It seems one request can have 3 spans. Can I control how much spans will be generated? Is there some doc or instruction I can refer?

Many thanks.
Rgds,
Jingang Li

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing Spring Boot tracing documentation and the instrumentation responsible for servlet, Feign, and application spans named in the issue. Document whether span generation can be controlled and provide the relevant configuration or usage guidance; done means a newcomer can understand why the three spans appear and how to adjust them.
