[OpenTelemetry span exporter for Jaeger ](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/blob/v1.20.0/specification/trace/sdk_exporters/jaeger.md ) implementation.
2023-05-09 17:19:48 +00:00
## Installation
```
go get -u go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/jaeger
```
## Example
See [../../example/jaeger ](../../example/jaeger ).
## Configuration
The exporter can be used to send spans to:
- Jaeger agent using `jaeger.thrift` over compact thrift protocol via
[`WithAgentEndpoint` ](https://pkg.go.dev/go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/jaeger#WithAgentEndpoint ) option.
- Jaeger collector using `jaeger.thrift` over HTTP via
[`WithCollectorEndpoint` ](https://pkg.go.dev/go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/jaeger#WithCollectorEndpoint ) option.
### Environment Variables
The following environment variables can be used
(instead of options objects) to override the default configuration.
| Environment variable | Option | Default value |
| --------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| `OTEL_EXPORTER_JAEGER_AGENT_HOST` | [`WithAgentHost` ](https://pkg.go.dev/go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/jaeger#WithAgentHost ) | `localhost` |
| `OTEL_EXPORTER_JAEGER_AGENT_PORT` | [`WithAgentPort` ](https://pkg.go.dev/go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/jaeger#WithAgentPort ) | `6831` |
| `OTEL_EXPORTER_JAEGER_ENDPOINT` | [`WithEndpoint` ](https://pkg.go.dev/go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/jaeger#WithEndpoint ) | `http://localhost:14268/api/traces` |
| `OTEL_EXPORTER_JAEGER_USER` | [`WithUsername` ](https://pkg.go.dev/go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/jaeger#WithUsername ) | |
| `OTEL_EXPORTER_JAEGER_PASSWORD` | [`WithPassword` ](https://pkg.go.dev/go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/jaeger#WithPassword ) | |
Configuration using options have precedence over the environment variables.
## Contributing
This exporter uses a vendored copy of the Apache Thrift library (v0.14.1) at a custom import path.
When re-generating Thrift code in the future, please adapt import paths as necessary.
