Jaeger tracing Prometheus metrics documentation?

[elu...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I can see in the Jaeger documentation, in the "Monitoring" section, information about what port and endpoint that is used as "scraping" endpoint for the agent, collector and query respectively. I have also read the metrics from the collector and can see a number of metrics in Prometheus format as expected. However I cannot find any documentation saying anything about what these metrics are. Some of the metrics are obvious and for some I have found some information in the source code (I have looked at the collector in for example theSpanProcessorMetrics struct in metrics.go ) but not for all metrics.

My question is: Where can I find documentation describing all metrics for all parts of Jaeger? Even if there is no "official" documentation there must be something...

Thanks

Lennart Lund

Hi

Unfortunately we don't have any documentation currently - however it is something we are working on.

The current plan is to add the metric help text into the code as part of the metric declaration - the first step has been merged, awaiting a new release of jaeger-lib.

So once this work is fully integrated into the Jaeger components, the prometheus metrics will include help text that explains the metric.

Regards

Gary
