Description
Describe the bug
When using a Google Cloud HTTP load balancer in front of our Elastic Search cluster, Jaeger Query component is unable to search for traces.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Deploy an elasticsearch cluster in Google Cloud
- Deploy a load balancer in front of the cluster with an HTTPS route
- Configure jaeger-query to use the elasticsearch cluster
- Search for traces
Expected behavior
I should be able to search for traces
Screenshots
After intercepting HTTP traffic between jaeger-query and elasticsearch, this is the query blocked by the load balancer with a 400 error:
GET https://elasticsearch.xxxx/_msearch?rest_total_hits_as_int=true HTTP/1.1
Host: elasticsearch.xxxx
User-Agent: elastic/6.2.37 (windows-amd64)
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
Accept-Encoding: gzip
{"ignore_unavailable":true,"index":"jaeger-jaeger-span-2021-08-06"}
{"query":{"bool":{"must":{"term":{"traceID":"ca1eb6d7b60a624a97acd85c4ccf9ad1"}}}},"search_after":[1628247456972000],"size":10000,"sort":[{"startTime":{"order":"asc"}}],"terminate_after":10000}
{"ignore_unavailable":true,"index":"jaeger-jaeger-span-2021-08-06"}
Version:
- Tested on Linux and Windows
- Jaeger version: 1.25
- Kubernetes, Docker and .exe
Additional context
Google Cloud Load balancer does not support body in HTTP GET queries and blocks it. The ElasticSearch client should be able to make queries with POST instead of GET (maybe if a flag is activated). Meanwhile, we're using TCP load balancer but it's not a best practice.
