Trace Generation

To see trace data, you must send requests to your service. The number of requests depends on Istio's sampling rate and can be configured using the Telemetry API. With the default sampling rate of 1%, you need to send at least 100 requests before the first trace is visible. To send 100 requests to the productpage service, use the following command:

{{< text bash >}} $ for i in $(seq 1 100); do curl -s -o /dev/null "http://$GATEWAY_URL/productpage"; done {{< /text >}}
