Yes, Ory supports tracing for cloud-hosted instances. Ory supports various tracing backends including OpenTelemetry, Jaeger, Elastic APM, Datadog, Zipkin, and Instana. You can configure tracing inside the configuration file or via environment variables. Here is an example of a configuration file with tracing enabled:
Copy code
yaml tracing:    provider: jaeger # use any of the supported tracing providers    service_name: ory:kratos # if not set, the service name will be the service name    providers:    jaeger: # per provider configuration    local_agent_address: jaeger:6831    sampling:    server_url: <http://jaeger:5778/sampling>
You can also use the CLI to get the list of tracing configurations and their supported values. Simply run:
Copy code
bash docker exec -it hydra_hydra_1 hydra serve --help
And read the section on
DEBUG CONTROLS
. For local setup, you can use the provided docker-compose file in the Hydra repository to play around with the tracing configuration. Just uncomment the desired tracing provider. For more information, please refer to the [Ory documentation on tracing](https://www.ory.sh/docs/self-hosted/operations/tracing).
