Remove tracing requirement to be enabled to generate a flare #9579

cecile75 · 2025-09-22T13:06:43Z

What Does This Do

Allow the generation of a tracer flare even when tracing is disabled.
Technically: Move the generic tracer flare code out of dd-tracer-core.

Changes in the tracer flare: tracer_health.txt, dynamic_config.txt and span_metrics.txt will be present only if tracing is enabled.

Motivation

We should be able to get a flare even when tracing is not enabled

Thanks for having extracted this part. The proposed change looks ok. I left some comments. I'd particularly like to flesh out the part around the CoreTracerBuilder since we might still want to disable the flare

🎯 suggestion: ‏Can you move the new module under :utils (like the recently moved config) please?

📝 notes: What about moving tracer flare testing also to this new module?
