When I piloting elastic apm, I found that it is not showing the HTTP calls in the spans. It shows the MySQL queries but not the HTTP calls. I use microservices architecture and there are 50 services which calls other in someway. If this information is shown (Distributed Tracing), it will be really …

Hi and thanks for considering our APM offering! It seems like Feign is using OkHttp by default. This HTTP client is currently not supported by the Java agent. See a list of all supported networking frameworks here . We will however work on OkHttp support shortly. You can track the progress here: ht…

Feign is Spring RestTemplate which in turn uses Apache HttpClient. I am using Spring Boot 2.0.5 & Spring Cloud Finchley.SR1. Here is the gradle dependencies, | | +--- com.netflix.ribbon:ribbon-core:2.2.5 (*) | | +--- com.netflix.ribbon:ribbon-httpclient:2.2.5 | | | +--- com.net…

Now I have added feign-httpclient-8.18 , but still HTTP calls are not instrumented. Here is the dependencies tree, runtime - Runtime dependencies for compilation 'main' (target (jvm)) (deprecated, use 'runtimeOnly ' instead). \--- com.netflix.feign:feign-httpclient:8.18.0 +--- com.netflix.fei…

Could you try to find out which HTTP client is effectively used? The auto-configuration chooses different clients based on what's available on the class path see FeignRibbonClientAutoConfiguration and FeignAutoConfiguration . The easiest would be to debug a remote call and to see which HTTP client is…

I also tried with http-client (using it directly) without getting anything. My manual instrumented spans are displayed in kibana though. I can see in the apm-server log that nothing gets to the apm-server with auto instrumenting, only with manual instrumentation. <dependency> <groupId>org.a…

I have debugged the client and found that it is using ApacheHttpClient. Here is the screenshot, [32%20PM] Here are the debug logs Kindly let me know if I am doing something wrong.

@JohanRask I didnt get your response completely. Are you getting spans for the above code?

Note that spans will only be created when there is an enclosing transaction for that. Could that be a problem in your case? I'll have a look at the logs in a bit.

Nope, that gives me nothing. I have to code the instrumentation to get something into APM Server Transaction transaction = ElasticApm.startTransaction();

Oh, I know what the problem is. The Apache HttpClient instrumentation is still marked as incubating by mistake! You can enable it by setting disable_instrumentations to none. Sorry for that. Please tell me if that helped.
