 This will create an observation named "some-operation" with the tag "some-tag=some-value".

+=== Baggage
+You can create baggage with the `Tracer` API:
+
+include::code:CreatingBaggage[]
+
+This example creates baggage named `baggage1` with the value `value1`.
+The baggage is automatically propagated over the network if you're using W3C propagation.
+If you're using B3 propagation, baggage is not automatically propagated.
+To manually propagate baggage over the network, use the configprop:management.tracing.baggage.remote-fields[] configuration property (this works for W3C, too).
+For the example above, setting this property to `baggage1` results in an HTTP header `baggage1: value1`.
+
+If you want to propagate the baggage to the MDC, use the configprop:management.tracing.baggage.correlation.fields[] configuration property.
+For the example above, setting this property to `baggage1` results in an MDC entry named `baggage1`.
