## Overview
|
|
|
|
minikube provides telemetry support via [OpenTelemetry tracing](https://opentelemetry.io/about/) to collect trace data for `minikube start`.
|
|
|
|
Currently, minikube supports the following exporters for tracing data:
|
|
|
|
- [Stackdriver](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/tree/master/exporter/stackdriverexporter)
|
|
|
|
To collect trace data with minikube and the Stackdriver exporter, run:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
MINIKUBE_GCP_PROJECT_ID=<project ID> minikube start --output json --trace gcp
|
|
```
|
