Getting Started

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.

​
Configuring Destination Fields

  • JAEGER_URL string : Jaeger OTLP gRPC Endpoint. The format is host:port, host is required, port is optional and defaults to the default OTLP gRPC port 4317
    • This field is required
  • JAEGER_TLS_ENABLED boolean : Enable TLS. Secure connection
    • This field is optional and defaults to False
  • JAEGER_CA_PEM string : Certificate Authority. When using TLS, provide the CA certificate in PEM format to verify the server. If empty uses system root CA
    • This field is optional
    • Example: -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
