Caution
The Jaeger Exporter is deprecated and will not receive any further updates. Please consider using the OpenTelemetry Collector together with the Span Metrics Connector for creating span metrics.
The Jaeger Exporter creates the Prometheus metrics for the Service Performance Monitoring.
The exporter reuses the Jaeger Ingester logic to consume spans from a particular
Kafka topic, but instead of writing them to a storage backend it creates the
metrics calls_total and duration_milliseconds for the Service Performance
Monitoring. To use these metrics the --prometheus.query.normalize-calls and
--prometheus.query.normalize-duration flag must be set for Jaeger.
The Jaeger Exporter can be installed via Helm or Kustomize.
To install the exporter via Helm you can use the following commands:
helm upgrade --install jaeger-exporter oci://ghcr.io/ricoberger/charts/jaeger-exporter --version <VERSION>The Jaeger Exporter can be configured via command line flags. The following flags are available:
