This tutorial shows you how to setup and configure 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:

Distributed context propagation
Distributed transaction monitoring
Root cause analysis
Service dependency analysis
Performance / latency optimization

Requirements:

• Docker, if you don't already have it, you can learn How to install Docker

We'll get the Jaeger Docker image from https://hub.docker.com/u/jaegertracing/

by

docker pull jaegertracing/all-in-one:latest

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

and now the Jaeger user interface can be opened in your web browser by visiting http://localhost:16686
