# Usage (Ubuntu 22.04)

```bash
# create the environment defined in docker-compose.yml
# and leave it running in the background.
docker compose up --detach --build --wait

# show running containers.
docker compose ps

# show logs.
docker compose logs

# show the quotes container health check output log.
docker inspect --format '{{json .State.Health }}' \
"$(docker compose ps quotes --format '{{.Name}}')" \
| jq -r '.Log[].Output'

# open a container network interface in wireshark.
./wireshark.sh quotes

# open the quotes service swagger.
xdg-open http://localhost:8000/swagger

# make a request.
http \
--verbose \
http://localhost:8000/quote

# make a failing request.
http \
--verbose \
http://localhost:8000/quote?opsi=opsi

# make a request that includes a parent trace.
# NB the dotnet trace id will be set to the traceparent trace id.
# NB the tracestate does not seem to be stored or propagated anywhere.

# Notes

* .NET uses the [Activity class](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.diagnostics.activity?view=net-8.0) to encapsulate the [W3C Trace Context](https://www.w3.org/TR/trace-context/).
* The Activity `Id` property contains to the [W3C `traceparent` header value](https://www.w3.org/TR/trace-context/#traceparent-header).
* It looks alike `00-98d483b6d0e3a6d012b11e23737faa50-6ac18089ab13c12e-01`.
* It has four fields: `version`, `trace-id`, `parent-id` (aka `span-id`), and `trace-flags`.
