Description

Hello, does envoy support for tracing requests sending from a service to Redis (via envoy sidecar)? As I see in the envoy document, it is possible to trace HTTP requests sending from a service (via envoy sidecar) by forwarding the generated headers to outgoing requests. Is there a similar way for Redis connection? Thanks.

Research direction
Explore Envoy's documentation and source code to understand if tracing is supported for Redis connections via the sidecar, focusing on the Redis proxy filter and tracing configuration.
