+## Tracing in Grid
+
+In order to enable tracing in Selenium Grid container, the following commands can be executed:
+
+```bash
+docker network create grid
+docker run -d -p 16686:16686 -p 14250:14250 --net grid --name jaeger jaegertracing/all-in-one:1.17
+docker run -d -p 4442-4444:4442-4444 --net grid --name selenium-hub selenium/hub:4.5.3-20221024
+docker run -d --net grid -e SE_EVENT_BUS_HOST=selenium-hub \
+    --shm-size="2g" \
+	-e SE_ENABLE_TRACING=true \
+	-e JAVA_OPTS="-Dotel.traces.exporter=jaeger -Dotel.exporter.jaeger.endpoint=http://jaegar:14250 -Dotel.resource.attributes=service.name=selenium-hub" \

+```
+
+You can also refer to the below docker-compose yaml files to be able to start a simple grid (or) a dynamic grid.
+
+* Simple Grid [v3 yaml file](docker-compose-v3-tracing.yml)
+* Simple Grid [v2 yaml file](docker-compose-v2-tracing.yml)
+* Dynamic Grid [v3 yaml file](docker-compose-v3-full-grid-tracing.yml)
+
+You can view the [Jaegar UI](http://localhost:16686/) and trace your request.
