-####  **Live Trace**
-
-Live trace allows you to capture traces from all the microservices that you're running locally (both on the host env and docker) with`local`mode enabled. To activate live trace mode use `local` option like so:
-
-```javascript
-require('@aspecto/opentelemetry')({ local: true });
-```
-
- Once the process starts it will output the following link:

-Click on the link to open the Live Trace, to see traces from all the microservices that are running on your environment that have local mode enabled. The link is valid for a limited period of time (a couple of days, but it may change in the future). \
-If you don't see a trace from some microservice (or none of them), click the newly-generated link.
