This is simply awesome work Ajay. I really loved it.

[@dechmusic]

Many thanks for such simple but detailed tutorial!

[@jamesh4129]

Awesome video. Thank You. Using it in my system.

[@JaNaMSoNi]

Thanks bro Vu❤️ So basically it's very useful for microservices architecture.

[@ashwinkumar09uvce]

Nice Details and explanation of the Tool !!

[@ajeetchouksey1167]

Something new i found here, Thanks Team Tech Primers ⭐

[@TechPrimers]

Happy to help!

[@tony-silver]

Thanks for that tutorial, it helped me ;)

[@ihor_biedin]

Thanks a lot! Very helpful!

[@AyushGupta-ib5qk]

Awesome video. I was able to execute the entire tutorial. Thanks!

[@TechPrimers]

Glad it helped!

[@javisartdesign]

Thanks for the tutorial! I would like to see some other example using OpenTelemetry and javaagent instead. I am looking forward using the jaaeger-operator v2 for kubernetes since it implements the agent/collector mechanism using OpenTelemtry, however this version still in early stage of development.

[@byteburn-vlog]

could you please some video about open telimetory

[@knowledgeseeker3530]

Is there a way we can capture request data in case of Post / Put / Patch and have it sent to Jaeger traces? In realtime scenarios along with service hops you would also like to see the request data being passed.

[@andrei2242]

thank you!

[@Romigo4]

Hello! Thanks for the great video! Actually could you mention, how to pass some traceId and then search with passed trace id ?

[@typhoon20724]

Cool 👍

[@mdnayab5839]

How does Jaeger generates trace I'd and span I'd? I mean does it has its own implementation or internally it uses sleuth

[@AhmedKhaled-he9mf]

Thanks very much for your efforts Kindly can make Jaeger web UI embedded in Spring without use Docker Jaeger ?

[@twodots1990]

How we are enable sl4j for each log tracing?

[@kambalavijay6800]

Ajay I have one question however, how does Jaeger recognises all the micro-services running on the machine and populates them in service dropdown?

[@TechPrimers]

The default configuration is pointing to localhost. Hence it identified. Else we can override those configs

[@mansipandey3097]

Ajay, how this is different from zipkin? Or any advantage you observed while running this.

[@TechPrimers]

It is no different from Zipkin. Zipkin supports non container ecosystems easily. Jaeger on the other hand is a natural fit for kubernetes/container space. Jaeger follows OpenTracing specification so you should be able to move to any tool such follows open Tracing speciation in the future. I feel if you are already using zipkin, there is no hard reason to move to jaeger

[@krishanpratap7192]

Hi can we run jaeger without docker

[@hariprasadreddy9218]

Good session thnx Ajay Can we use this for batch applications too?

[@TechPrimers]

Yes hari. You can use it for microservices based apps for Tracing calls across systems

[@praneshmdshetty5345]

Hi, Thank you for various content in channel , could you make a video on payment gateway in spring boot ? maybe using stripe or paypal or so..

[@TechPrimers]

Hi Pranesh, Stripe is not supporting India yet. Will try paypal

[@knowledgeseeker3530]

The Configuration classes you created for Jaeger automatically connects to Jaeger? I could not understand how the client and server app connected to Jaeger.

[@TechPrimers]

Apologies, i did not add the configuration properties since the default ones connect to localhost. You can override them to connect to your jaeger server and port

[@saurabhsingh7020]

HI Ajay, Thanks for video. one doubt, In microservice you have not specified location of jaeger agent in properties so how connect is established. If rest calls are intercepted by default when to instrument our code. If there are N microservices then do we need to apply instrumentation in all services? Hope my question is clear.

[@TechPrimers]

Yes saurabh, there are properties which can be overridden. I missed showing that. Its in the documentation

[@navdeepbansal]

thanks for this tutorial, i have also configured in this way but i am not getting spans for 2nd microservice in jaeger porta, to relate with this i am not getting any spans for jaeger-server, the only difference is i have used feign client to make a call to another microservice, any leads would be appreciated.

[@TechPrimers]

Check how the feigns are injected. You need to create it as a bean via configuration class to allow spring boot to get a handle of the feign instance.

[@navdeepbansal]

is there anything that needs to be done from jaeger configuration ?

[@RahulBhargava21]

Ausm quick starter tutorial, can Jaeger be used for asyn call tracing, like if service talk to each other via event? For example, if we have a kafka broker in between?

[@TechPrimers]

I know it can be done with RabbitMq. Not sure if Kafka supports header synchronization

[@RahulBhargava21]

@@TechPrimers Let me try to find something in Jaeger documentation if we can do end to end tracing for event-based architecture using Kafka, use-case (Service A --(rest call)--> Sevice B --(publish event)--> Kafka Broker --> Service C consumes that message)

[@chets3666]

@@RahulBhargava21 please do share your findings on using Jaeger with event based (Kafka) micro service.

[@chitthiaayeehai]

Dude we don't have to have any configuration in client / server app for registering with Jeager ? Is it working like Hazelcast broadcasting where the clients r auto detected ?

[@TechPrimers]

Like any other library this also has a config. Since i used it in my localhost, it used default host and port

[@chitthiaayeehai]

@@TechPrimers Got it 👍

[@muniswamy3908]

Thanks Ajay

[@TechPrimers]

Hey Muni. Long time. Trust you are keeping well. Cheers

[@muniswamy3908]

@@TechPrimers thanks for asking, I'm good, hope you also well.

[@abuhamzakhan1752]

Hi, i am new to jaeger and spring wanted to know you created a bean of tracer but you didn't call it anywhere neither in client nor in server how doest it gets instantiated..? I hope i am making sense

[@abuhamzakhan1752]

I mean all i need to do is just add jaeger in config file and add dependency in pom? Use Jaeger

[@thepinkestmoon]

that is where Spring comes in. When you create a class with an annotation such as "@Configuration" or "@Service", Spring automatically instantiates it and adds the object to the spring context. when the @Bean annotation is added to a method, that method is automatically called by spring and the result is stored in the Spring Context.

[@sujithg5873]

Bro currently elk is paid, so what is the best log viewer now Available?

[@TechPrimers]

There is one from Graphana labs which is open source called Graphana Loki. grafana.com/oss/loki/ There is also Graylog

[@sujithg5873]

@@TechPrimers thanks 😊

[@Madhavan2020]

How about the overhead to the application that it brings in?

[@TechPrimers]

Jaeger was built by Uber with those in mind. They do batching incase of huge volumes. More is available here www.jaegertracing.io/docs/1.22/performance-tuning/

[@TechPrimers]

Also, you can have agent setup which will reduce the app overload

Please expand it while explaining

[@ambidextrousTrades]

This was a very simplistic video. Didn't add much value. No details were presented about Jaeger,no complexities were demoed. This is as good as just reading the code. Please talk more about the details of the technology you present in the video describing the features.
