How to best use tracing tools on severals thousands of servers

Abstract

Using tracing for monitoring issues on a large scale server infrastructure can generate a huge amount of data. What are the best solution to handle that data and to analyse it to gain insight on the health of the kernel on a server fleet.
We heard of the Dapper and Zipkins solutions, is there other frameworks or simple tools to agregate the result of tracing?

Also, how can we facilitate the deployment of the tracing tools either for debugging or monitoring?
