README

Tracing (Jaeger)

All microservice will be using OpenTracing (with Jaeger via UDP).

Environment based configuration

Configuration directly taken from https://github.com/jaegertracing/jaeger-client-go.

Property	Description
JAEGER_SERVICE_NAME	The service name
JAEGER_AGENT_HOST	The hostname for communicating with agent via UDP
JAEGER_AGENT_PORT	The port for communicating with agent via UDP
JAEGER_ENDPOINT	The HTTP endpoint for sending spans directly to a collector, i.e. http://jaeger-collector:14268/api/traces
JAEGER_USER	Username to send as part of "Basic" authentication to the collector endpoint
JAEGER_PASSWORD	Password to send as part of "Basic" authentication to the collector endpoint
JAEGER_REPORTER_LOG_SPANS	Whether the reporter should also log the spans
JAEGER_REPORTER_MAX_QUEUE_SIZE	The reporter's maximum queue size
JAEGER_REPORTER_FLUSH_INTERVAL	The reporter's flush interval (ms)
JAEGER_SAMPLER_TYPE	The sampler type
JAEGER_SAMPLER_PARAM	The sampler parameter (number)
JAEGER_SAMPLER_MANAGER_HOST_PORT	The HTTP endpoint when using the remote sampler, i.e. http://jaeger-agent:5778/sampling
JAEGER_SAMPLER_MAX_OPERATIONS	The maximum number of operations that the sampler will keep track of
JAEGER_SAMPLER_REFRESH_INTERVAL	How often the remotely controlled sampler will poll jaeger-agent for the appropriate sampling strategy
JAEGER_TAGS	A comma separated list of name = value tracer level tags, which get added to all reported spans. The value can also refer to an environment variable using the format ${envVarName:default}, where the :default is optional, and identifies a value to be used if the environment variable cannot be found
JAEGER_DISABLED	Whether the tracer is disabled or not. If true, the default opentracing.NoopTracer is used.
JAEGER_RPC_METRICS	Whether to store RPC metrics

Variables

var Closer io.Closer

Closer can be used in shutdown hooks to ensure that the internal queue of the Reporter is drained and all buffered spans are submitted to collectors.

var Tracer opentracing.Tracer

Tracer implementation that reports tracing to Jaeger

Functions

func Handler

func Handler(ignoredPrefixes ...string) func(http.Handler) http.Handler

Handler generates a tracing handler that decodes the current trace from the wire. The tracing handler will not start traces for the list of ignoredPrefixes.

func Request

func Request(r *http.Request) *http.Request

Request augments an outgoing request for further tracing
