# Tracing Zebra
|
||
|
|
||
|
Zebra supports dynamic tracing, configured using the config's
|
||
|
[`TracingSection`][tracing_section] and (optionally) an HTTP RPC endpoint.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If the `endpoint_addr` is specified, `zebrad` will open an HTTP endpoint
|
||
|
allowing dynamic runtime configuration of the tracing filter. For instance,
|
||
|
if the config had `endpoint_addr = '127.0.0.1:3000'`, then
|
||
|
|
||
|
* `curl -X GET localhost:3000/filter` retrieves the current filter string;
|
||
|
* `curl -X POST localhost:3000/filter -d "zebrad=trace"` sets the current filter string.
|
||
|
|
||
|
See the [`filter`][filter] documentation for more details.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Zebra also has support for generating [flamegraphs] of tracing spans,
|
||
|
configured using the [`flamegraph`][flamegraph] option.
