Open Tracing in IBM API Connect allows for distributed tracing of API calls across the system, helping administrators analyze performance bottlenecks and troubleshoot issues. However, this capability is specifically designed to work with APIs that utilize the API Gateway.
Option A (Correct Answer): IBM API Connect integrates with OpenTracing for API Gateway, allowing the tracing of API requests in the Operations Dashboard. This provides deep visibility into request flows and latencies.
Option B (Incorrect): API debug data is not directly made available in OpenShift cluster logging. Instead, API tracing data is captured using OpenTracing-compatible tools.
Option C (Incorrect): OpenTracing is available for all deployment profiles, including production, not just non-production environments.
Option D (Incorrect): Trace data is not directly visible in Analytics dashboards but rather in the Operations Dashboard where administrators can inspect API request traces.
