Configuring Jaeger Backend

Version v1.35 of Jaeger introduced the ability to receive OpenTelemetry trace data via the OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP). This allows to create a new Jaeger backend by simply specifying the Jaeger OTLP gRPC unencrypted URL.

The endpoint format is host:port.

  • host is required
  • port is optional and defaults to the default OTLP gRPC port 4317.

Adding a Destination to Odigos

Odigos makes it simple to add and configure destinations, allowing you to select the specific signals [traces/logs/metrics] that you want to send to each destination. There are two primary methods for configuring destinations in Odigos:

  1. Using the UI
    To add a destination via the UI, follow these steps:
    • Use the Odigos CLI to access the UI: Odigos UI
    odigos ui

  • In the left sidebar, navigate to the Destination page.

  • Click Add New Destination

  • Select Jaeger and follow the on-screen instructions.

  1. Using kubernetes manifests

Save the YAML below to a file (e.g., destination.yaml) and apply it using kubectl:

kubectl apply -f destination.yaml

apiVersion: odigos.io/v1alpha1
kind: Destination
metadata:
  name: jaeger-example
  namespace: odigos-system
spec:
  data:
    JAEGER_URL: <Jaeger OTLP gRPC Endpoint>
  destinationName: jaeger
  signals:
  - TRACES
  type: jaeger
