OTel - Log traces issue after upgrading to Gateway 11.2

Products

• CA API Gateway

Issue/Introduction

After upgrading to gateway 11.2 with Otel enabled we observed that the logging is very different from what was observed with gateway 11.1.2.

Where we have several traces with 11.1.2, we only get 1 after upgrading and the traces related to the policy execution are not logged. 

Resolution

In gateway 11.2 the cluster wide property "otel.traceContextVariables.enabled" is set to false by default while before it was not set at all and defaulted to true.

After enabling the cwp otel.traceContextVariables.enabled to true in gateway 11.2 the traces look the same as in gateway 11.1.2
