Jaeger

An open-source, end-to-end distributed tracing platform originally developed by Uber Technologies. Monitor request flows across microservices, identify performance bottlenecks, and troubleshoot failures through a visual trace timeline.

What You Can Do After Deployment

1. Visit your domain -- the Jaeger UI opens immediately with no login required
2. Send traces -- configure your application to send traces via OpenTelemetry, Jaeger client, or Zipkin format to the collector endpoints
3. Search traces -- find traces by service name, operation, tags, or duration
4. Analyze latency -- visualize request timelines to pinpoint slow services
5. Compare traces -- compare two traces side by side to identify regressions

Key Features

• Visual trace timeline with service dependency graphs
• Search by service, operation, tags, duration, and time range
• Trace comparison for regression analysis
• OpenTelemetry and Zipkin format compatible
• All-in-one deployment with in-memory storage
• System Architecture (DAG) view of service dependencies
• Monitor tab for service performance metrics

Collector Endpoints

• 4318 -- OpenTelemetry HTTP (OTLP)
• 14268 -- Jaeger HTTP Thrift
• 9411 -- Zipkin compatible
