The Opentracing extension sends data about workflow runs to a Jaeger server. Data includes the workflow status, input and output parameters, the user that initiated the workflow run, and the workflow ID data.

Starting with vRealize Orchestrator 8.8.2, the Opentracing extension for vRealize Orchestrator is deprecated and will be removed from the product in a future release.
