Agenda
- What is distributed tracing?
- How to get started with Jaeger
- How to instrument an application
- How to search logs in Loki, find the traces in Jaeger, and view them in Grafana
Description
Come and learn about the basics of distributed tracing! In this webinar, we will review what tracing is and what questions it can answer, common open source options for tracing, and the basics of deploying Jaeger, a popular tracing system. In the demo, we will take a simple application, instrument it for tracing, and offload those traces to a Jaeger backend. Then we’ll run a typical Loki search, retrieve the trace from Jaeger, and view the trace in Grafana.
