Solution:
Step 1: Identify tracing data flow
Traces are sent to the tracing backend like Jaeger. If Jaeger is not deployed or reachable, no traces appear.Step 2: Exclude unrelated components
Kubernetes scheduler, persistent volumes, and autoscaler do not affect trace collection or display.Final Answer:
Verify that the tracing backend (Jaeger) is deployed and accessible -> Option DQuick Check:
Tracing backend availability is key for trace visibility [OK]
Quick Trick: Check tracing backend deployment first if no traces [OK]
