jaeger-traefik

POCing jaeger (and opentracing), without Cassandra and ElasticSearch.

Main target are traefik traces.

TL;DR

Jaeger is an implementation of tracing. Tracing can be seen as light logging, with typed tags, timestamp and parent reference, for composed services. Tracing is non blocking, and can explain what happens in a request compound by services (parallelizeds or sequentials).

Do it

cd demo

Launch backround services

docker-compose up -d traefik

Watch jaeger-traefik logs

docker-compose logs jaeger

In another window, trigger some curl action

docker-compose up client

Wait for consolidation, and ask prometheus probe

docker-compose up promclient | grep apdex

You can do all that steps with one command :

make demo
