Tracing

As of version 5, Spring Batch provides tracing through Micrometer’s Observation API. By default, tracing is enabled when using @EnableBatchProcessing. Spring Batch will create a trace for each job execution and a span for each step execution.

If you do not use EnableBatchProcessing, you need to register a BatchObservabilityBeanPostProcessor in your application context, which will automatically setup Micrometer’s observability in your jobs and steps beans.
