TraceId and SpanId not available after migrating to Spring Boot 3

After migrating spring boot from version 2.x to 3 we miss traceId and spanId in our logs.

We removed all sleuth dependencies and added

implementation 'io.micrometer:micrometer-core'
implementation 'io.micrometer:micrometer-tracing'
implementation 'io.micrometer:micrometer-tracing-bridge-brave'
implementation platform('io.micrometer:micrometer-tracing-bom:latest.release')

as well as

logging.pattern.level: "%5p [${spring.application.name:},%X{traceId:-},%X{spanId:-}]"

but no traceIds and spanIds are being logged.

Is there something we missed?

Solution

  • You need actuator and a bridge, the rest you included is not needed:

    implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-actuator'
implementation 'io.micrometer:micrometer-tracing-bridge-brave'

    If you also want to report your spans, you should add the zipkin reporter too:

    implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-actuator'
implementation 'io.micrometer:micrometer-tracing-bridge-brave'
implementation 'io.zipkin.reporter2:zipkin-reporter-brave'

    Here's an example on start.spring.io and there are a lot of samples in the micrometer-samples repo.
