Troubleshooting

• Spans not visible:
• Ensure exporter configured and backend reachable
• Set OTEL_LOG_LEVEL=debug
• Large UDP errors with Jaeger Thrift:
• Use Console or OTLP exporters
• High memory/CPU:
• Reduce batch processor queue size
• Disable header capture (OTEL_GUNICORN_CAPTURE_HEADERS=false)
• Disable worker metrics (OTEL_GUNICORN_TRACE_WORKERS=false)
