Format of x-dynatrace header in Kafka?

Hi,

I tried to read manually the tracing header in a Kafka message set by Dynatrace in a readable format, but it seems to be not mappable to a String. Can someone tell me what format the header has?

I see it is a byte array, but when I map it to a string it is gibberish, so probably it is in a different format.

 

What I actually want to do is to create a message receiver that is not monitored by Dynatrace but still use the tracing information provided by Dynatrace e.g. for logging purposes.

Hi @sselzer ,

the format of the header is like following:

FW4;-470596006;4;1832383454;1102798;3;926782514;348;a479;2h01;3h6d37f3de;4h10d3ce;5h01;6h9f0a7961bfc17a806711020a76b2b914;7haf633cfee8390519

Best,

Mark
