OpenTelemetry Jaeger

Jaeger Tracing Support

The Cloud Debugger includes support for exporting trace data to Jaeger, a popular distributed tracing system. This allows you to visualize and analyze traces from your application in Jaeger’s user-friendly interface.

Enabling Jaeger Export

To enable Jaeger export, set the environment variable OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT with the appropriate endpoint URL. The URL must follow the format required by Jaeger’s OTLP receiver:

http://[domain]:4318/v1/traces

Example

OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT=http://observability-jaeger.northeurope.azurecontainer.io:4318/v1/traces

Once configured, all trace data generated by your application will be sent to the specified Jaeger endpoint.

Important Note

If Azure Monitor support is enabled by setting the APPLICATIONINSIGHTS_CONNECTION_STRING environment variable, Jaeger tracing support will be disabled. In this mode, all telemetry (logs, metrics, and traces) is directed exclusively to Azure Monitor.
