OpenTelemetry Exporter Jaeger allows user to send collected traces to Jaeger
@opentelemetry/exporter-jaeger is an npm package that allows you to export OpenTelemetry traces to Jaeger, a popular open-source distributed tracing system. This package is part of the OpenTelemetry project, which provides a set of APIs, libraries, agents, and instrumentation to enable observability for cloud-native software.
Exporting Traces to Jaeger
This code sample demonstrates how to set up the Jaeger exporter with OpenTelemetry in a Node.js application. It configures the exporter to send traces to a Jaeger instance running locally and starts a simple trace.
const { NodeTracerProvider } = require('@opentelemetry/node');
const { SimpleSpanProcessor } = require('@opentelemetry/tracing');
const { JaegerExporter } = require('@opentelemetry/exporter-jaeger');
const provider = new NodeTracerProvider();
const exporter = new JaegerExporter({
serviceName: 'my-service',
endpoint: 'http://localhost:14268/api/traces',
});
provider.addSpanProcessor(new SimpleSpanProcessor(exporter));
provider.register();
// Now you can start tracing your application
const tracer = provider.getTracer('example-tracer');
const span = tracer.startSpan('example-span');
span.end();Configuring Exporter Options
This code sample shows how to configure additional options for the Jaeger exporter, such as setting custom tags and specifying the maximum packet size.
const exporter = new JaegerExporter({
serviceName: 'my-service',
endpoint: 'http://localhost:14268/api/traces',
tags: [], // Optional: Add custom tags
maxPacketSize: 65000, // Optional: Set max packet size
});@opentelemetry/exporter-zipkin is another exporter for OpenTelemetry that sends traces to Zipkin, another popular distributed tracing system. It is similar to @opentelemetry/exporter-jaeger but targets Zipkin instead of Jaeger.
jaeger-client is a Jaeger client library for Node.js that provides similar functionality to @opentelemetry/exporter-jaeger but is not part of the OpenTelemetry project. It offers more direct integration with Jaeger but lacks the broader ecosystem support of OpenTelemetry.
opentracing-javascript is the official OpenTracing library for JavaScript. While it provides a more general API for distributed tracing, it requires additional setup to export traces to Jaeger, unlike @opentelemetry/exporter-jaeger, which is specifically designed for this purpose.
OpenTelemetry Jaeger Trace Exporter allows the user to send collected traces to Jaeger.
Jaeger, inspired by Dapper and OpenZipkin, is a distributed tracing system released as open source by Uber Technologies. It is used for monitoring and troubleshooting microservices-based distributed systems, including:
Get up and running with Jaeger in your local environment.
Jaeger stores and queries traces exported by applications instrumented with OpenTelemetry. The easiest way to start a Jaeger server is to paste the below:
docker run -d --name jaeger \
-e COLLECTOR_ZIPKIN_HTTP_PORT=9411 \
-p 5775:5775/udp \
-p 6831:6831/udp \
-p 6832:6832/udp \
-p 5778:5778 \
-p 16686:16686 \
-p 14268:14268 \
-p 9411:9411 \
jaegertracing/all-in-one:latest
Or run the jaeger-all-in-one(.exe) executable from the binary distribution archives:
jaeger-all-in-one --collector.zipkin.http-port=9411
You can then navigate to http://localhost:16686 to access the Jaeger UI.
npm install --save @opentelemetry/exporter-jaeger
Install the exporter on your application and pass the options, it must contain a service name.
import { JaegerExporter } from '@opentelemetry/exporter-jaeger';
const options = {
serviceName: 'my-service',
tags: [], // optional
host: 'localhost', // optional
port: 6832, // optional
maxPacketSize: 65000 // optional
}
const exporter = new JaegerExporter(options);
Now, register the exporter.
tracer.addSpanProcessor(new BatchSpanProcessor(exporter));
You can use built-in SimpleSpanProcessor or BatchSpanProcessor or write your own.
SpanProcessor that passes ended span directly to the configured SpanExporter.SpanProcessor that batches ended spans and pushes them to the configured SpanExporter. It is recommended to use this SpanProcessor for better performance and optimization.Apache 2.0 - See LICENSE for more information.
