otelcol.receiver.jaeger

otelcol.receiver.jaeger accepts Jaeger-formatted data over the network and forwards it to other otelcol.* components.

NOTE: otelcol.receiver.jaeger is a wrapper over the upstream OpenTelemetry Collector jaeger receiver. Bug reports or feature requests will be redirected to the upstream repository, if necessary.

Multiple otelcol.receiver.jaeger components can be specified by giving them different labels.

Usage

river Copy

otelcol.receiver.jaeger "LABEL" {
  protocols {
    grpc {}
    thrift_http {}
    thrift_binary {}
    thrift_compact {}
  }

  output {
    metrics = [...]
    logs    = [...]
    traces  = [...]
  }
}

Arguments

otelcol.receiver.jaeger doesn’t support any arguments and is configured fully through inner blocks.

Blocks

The following blocks are supported inside the definition of otelcol.receiver.jaeger:

The > symbol indicates deeper levels of nesting. For example, protocols > grpc refers to a grpc block defined inside a protocols block.

protocols block

The protocols block defines a set of protocols that will be used to accept traces over the network.

protocols doesn’t support any arguments and is configured fully through inner blocks.

otelcol.receiver.jeager requires at least one protocol block (grpc, thrift_http, thrift_binary, or thrift_compact) to be provided.

grpc block

The grpc block configures a gRPC server which can accept Jaeger traces. If the grpc block isn’t provided, a gRPC server isn’t started.

The following arguments are supported:

tls block

The tls block configures TLS settings used for a server. If the tls block isn’t provided, TLS won’t be used for connections to the server.

The following arguments are supported:

keepalive block

The keepalive block configures keepalive settings for connections to a gRPC server.

keepalive doesn’t support any arguments and is configured fully through inner blocks.

server_parameters block

The server_parameters block controls keepalive and maximum age settings for gRPC servers.

The following arguments are supported:

enforcement_policy block

The enforcement_policy block configures the keepalive enforcement policy for gRPC servers. The server will close connections from clients that violate the configured policy.

The following arguments are supported:

thrift_http block

The thrift_http block configures an HTTP server which can accept Thrift-formatted traces. If the thrift_http block isn’t specified, an HTTP server isn’t started.

The following arguments are supported:

cors block

The cors block configures CORS settings for an HTTP server.

The following arguments are supported:

The allowed_headers specifies which headers are acceptable from a CORS request. The following headers are always implicitly allowed:

• Accept
• Accept-Language
• Content-Type
• Content-Language

If allowed_headers includes "*", all headers will be permitted.

thrift_binary block

The thrift_binary block configures a UDP server which can accept traces formatted to the Thrift binary protocol. If the thrift_binary block isn’t provided, a UDP server isn’t started.

The following arguments are supported:

thrift_compact block

The thrift_compact block configures a UDP server which can accept traces formatted to the Thrift compact protocol. If the thrift_compact block isn’t provided, a UDP server isn’t started.

The following arguments are supported:

output block

The output block configures a set of components to forward resulting telemetry data to.

The following arguments are supported:

The output block must be specified, but all of its arguments are optional. By default, telemetry data is dropped. To send telemetry data to other components, configure the metrics, logs, and traces arguments accordingly.

Exported fields

otelcol.receiver.jaeger does not export any fields.

Component health

otelcol.receiver.jaeger is only reported as unhealthy if given an invalid configuration.

Debug information

otelcol.receiver.jaeger does not expose any component-specific debug information.

Example

This example creates a pipeline which accepts Jaeger-formatted traces and writes them to an OTLP server:

river Copy

otelcol.receiver.jaeger "default" {
  protocols {
    grpc {}
    thrift_http {}
    thrift_binary {}
    thrift_compact {}
  }

  output {
    traces = [otelcol.processor.batch.default.input]
  }
}

otelcol.processor.batch "default" {
  output {
    traces = [otelcol.exporter.otlp.default.input]
  }
}

otelcol.exporter.otlp "default" {
  client {
    endpoint = "my-otlp-server:4317"
  }
}
