Enable multi-tenancy
Tempo is a multi-tenant distributed tracing backend. It supports multi-tenancy through the use
of a header: X-Scope-OrgID
.
If you’re interested in setting up multi-tenancy, consult the multi-tenant example in the repository. This example uses the following settings to achieve multi-tenancy in Tempo.
Note
Multi-tenancy on ingestion is currently only working with GPRC and this may never change. It’s strongly recommended to use the OpenTelemetry Collector to support multi-tenancy.
Configure multi-tenancy
Configure the OTEL Collector to attach the
X-Scope-OrgID
header on push:exporters: otlp: headers: x-scope-orgid: foo-bar-baz
Configure the Tempo data source in Grafana to pass the tenant with the same header:
- name: Tempo-Multitenant jsonData: httpHeaderName1: 'X-Scope-OrgID' secureJsonData: httpHeaderValue1: 'foo-bar-baz'
Enable multi-tenancy on the Tempo backend by setting the following configuration value on all Tempo components:
multitenancy_enabled: true
or from the command line:
--multitenancy.enabled=true
This option forces all Tempo components to require the
X-Scope-OrgID
header.
