Configuring and deploying distributed tracing

The Red Hat OpenShift distributed tracing platform Operator uses a custom resource definition (CRD) file that defines the architecture and configuration settings to be used when creating and deploying the distributed tracing platform resources. You can either install the default configuration or modify the file to better suit your business requirements.

Red Hat OpenShift distributed tracing platform has predefined deployment strategies. You specify a deployment strategy in the custom resource file. When you create a distributed tracing platform instance the Operator uses this configuration file to create the objects necessary for the deployment.

Jaeger custom resource file showing deployment strategy
apiVersion: jaegertracing.io/v1
kind: Jaeger
metadata:
  name: MyConfigFile
spec:
  strategy: production (1)
1 The Red Hat OpenShift distributed tracing platform Operator currently supports the following deployment strategies:

  • allInOne (Default) - This strategy is intended for development, testing, and demo purposes; it is not intended for production use. The main backend components, Agent, Collector, and Query service, are all packaged into a single executable which is configured, by default. to use in-memory storage.

    In-memory storage is not persistent, which means that if the distributed tracing platform instance shuts down, restarts, or is replaced, that your trace data will be lost. And in-memory storage cannot be scaled, since each pod has its own memory. For persistent storage, you must use the production or streaming strategies, which use Elasticsearch as the default storage.

  • production - The production strategy is intended for production environments, where long term storage of trace data is important, as well as a more scalable and highly available architecture is required. Each of the backend components is therefore deployed separately. The Agent can be injected as a sidecar on the instrumented application. The Query and Collector services are configured with a supported storage type - currently Elasticsearch. Multiple instances of each of these components can be provisioned as required for performance and resilience purposes.

  • streaming - The streaming strategy is designed to augment the production strategy by providing a streaming capability that effectively sits between the Collector and the Elasticsearch backend storage. This provides the benefit of reducing the pressure on the backend storage, under high load situations, and enables other trace post-processing capabilities to tap into the real time span data directly from the streaming platform (AMQ Streams/ Kafka).

    The streaming strategy requires an additional Red Hat subscription for AMQ Streams.

The streaming deployment strategy is currently unsupported on IBM Z.

There are two ways to install and use Red Hat OpenShift distributed tracing, as part of a service mesh or as a stand alone component. If you have installed distributed tracing as part of Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh, you can perform basic configuration as part of the ServiceMeshControlPlane but for completely control you should configure a Jaeger CR and then reference your distributed tracing configuration file in the ServiceMeshControlPlane.

Deploying the distributed tracing default strategy from the web console

The custom resource definition (CRD) defines the configuration used when you deploy an instance of Red Hat OpenShift distributed tracing. The default CR is named jaeger-all-in-one-inmemory and it is configured with minimal resources to ensure that you can successfully install it on a default OpenShift Container Platform installation. You can use this default configuration to create a Red Hat OpenShift distributed tracing platform instance that uses the AllInOne deployment strategy, or you can define your own custom resource file.

In-memory storage is not persistent. If the Jaeger pod shuts down, restarts, or is replaced, your trace data will be lost. For persistent storage, you must use the production or streaming strategies, which use Elasticsearch as the default storage.

Validating your deployment

Accessing the Jaeger console

To access the Jaeger console you must have either Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh or Red Hat OpenShift distributed tracing installed, and Red Hat OpenShift distributed tracing platform installed, configured, and deployed.

The installation process creates a route to access the Jaeger console.

If you know the URL for the Jaeger console, you can access it directly. If you do not know the URL, use the following directions.

Procedure from OpenShift console

  1. Log in to the OpenShift Container Platform web console as a user with cluster-admin rights. If you use Red Hat OpenShift Dedicated, you must have an account with the dedicated-admin role.

  2. Navigate to Networking → Routes.

  3. On the Routes page, select the control plane project, for example tracing-system, from the Namespace menu.

    The Location column displays the linked address for each route.

  4. If necessary, use the filter to find the jaeger route. Click the route Location to launch the console.

  5. Click Log In With OpenShift.

Procedure from the CLI

  1. Log in to the OpenShift Container Platform CLI as a user with the cluster-admin role. If you use Red Hat OpenShift Dedicated, you must have an account with the dedicated-admin role.

    $ oc login https://<HOSTNAME>:6443

  2. To query for details of the route using the command line, enter the following command. In this example, tracing-system is the control plane namespace.

    $ export JAEGER_URL=$(oc get route -n tracing-system jaeger -o jsonpath='{.spec.host}')

  3. Launch a browser and navigate to https://<JAEGER_URL>, where <JAEGER_URL> is the route that you discovered in the previous step.

  4. Log in using the same user name and password that you use to access the OpenShift Container Platform console.

  5. If you have added services to the service mesh and have generated traces, you can use the filters and Find Traces button to search your trace data.

    If you are validating the console installation, there is no trace data to display.

Customizing your deployment

Deployment best practices

  • Red Hat OpenShift distributed tracing instance names must be unique. If you want to have multiple Red Hat OpenShift distributed tracing platform instances and are using sidecar injected agents, then the Red Hat OpenShift distributed tracing platform instances should have unique names, and the injection annotation should explicitly specify the Red Hat OpenShift distributed tracing platform instance name the tracing data should be reported to.

  • If you have a multitenant implementation and tenants are separated by namespaces, deploy a Red Hat OpenShift distributed tracing platform instance to each tenant namespace.

    • Agent as a daemonset is not supported for multitenant installations or Red Hat OpenShift Dedicated. Agent as a sidecar is the only supported configuration for these use cases.

  • If you are installing distributed tracing as part of Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh, the distributed tracing resources must be installed in the same namespace as the ServiceMeshControlPlane resource.

For information about configuring persistent storage, see Understanding persistent storage and the appropriate configuration topic for your chosen storage option.

Distributed tracing default configuration options

The Jaeger custom resource (CR) defines the architecture and settings to be used when creating the distributed tracing platform resources. You can modify these parameters to customize your distributed tracing platform implementation to your business needs.

Jaeger Collector configuration options

The Jaeger Collector is the component responsible for receiving the spans that were captured by the tracer and writing them to persistent Elasticsearch storage when using the production strategy, or to AMQ Streams when using the streaming strategy.

The Collectors are stateless and thus many instances of Jaeger Collector can be run in parallel. Collectors require almost no configuration, except for the location of the Elasticsearch cluster.

Parameter Description Values 
collector:
  replicas:

Specifies the number of Collector replicas to create.

Integer, for example, 5
Table 3. Configuration parameters passed to the Collector
Parameter Description Values 
spec:
 collector:
  options: {}

Configuration options that define the Jaeger Collector.

 
options:
  collector:
    num-workers:

The number of workers pulling from the queue.

Integer, for example, 50

 
options:
  collector:
    queue-size:

The size of the Collector queue.

Integer, for example, 2000

 
options:
  kafka:
    producer:
      topic: jaeger-spans

The topic parameter identifies the Kafka configuration used by the Collector to produce the messages, and the Ingester to consume the messages.

Label for the producer.

 
options:
  kafka:
    producer:
      brokers: my-cluster-kafka-brokers.kafka:9092

Identifies the Kafka configuration used by the Collector to produce the messages. If brokers are not specified, and you have AMQ Streams 1.4.0+ installed, the Red Hat OpenShift distributed tracing platform Operator will self-provision Kafka.

 
options:
  log-level:

Logging level for the Collector.

Possible values: debug, info, warn, error, fatal, panic.

Distributed tracing sampling configuration options

The Red Hat OpenShift distributed tracing platform Operator can be used to define sampling strategies that will be supplied to tracers that have been configured to use a remote sampler.

While all traces are generated, only a few are sampled. Sampling a trace marks the trace for further processing and storage.

This is not relevant if a trace was started by the Envoy proxy, as the sampling decision is made there. The Jaeger sampling decision is only relevant when the trace is started by an application using the client.

When a service receives a request that contains no trace context, the client starts a new trace, assigns it a random trace ID, and makes a sampling decision based on the currently installed sampling strategy. The sampling decision propagates to all subsequent requests in the trace so that other services are not making the sampling decision again.

distributed tracing platform libraries support the following samplers:

  • Probabilistic - The sampler makes a random sampling decision with the probability of sampling equal to the value of the sampling.param property. For example, using sampling.param=0.1 samples approximately 1 in 10 traces.

  • Rate Limiting - The sampler uses a leaky bucket rate limiter to ensure that traces are sampled with a certain constant rate. For example, using sampling.param=2.0 samples requests with the rate of 2 traces per second.

Table 4. Jaeger sampling options
Parameter Description Values Default value 
spec:
 sampling:
  options: {}
    default_strategy:
    service_strategy:
