Sending OpenTelemetry Traces to Jaeger 📊

To integrate OpenTelemetry with Jaeger for distributed tracing, follow these steps:

1. Install Dependencies
   Ensure you have OpenTelemetry Collector and Jaeger installed.

   

2. Configure Exporter
   Set up the Jaeger exporter in your OpenTelemetry configuration file:

   exporters:
     jaeger:
       endpoint: "http://localhost:14268/api/traces"
   

3. Start Jaeger Server
   Run Jaeger using Docker:

   docker run -d -p 16686:16686 -p 14268:14268 jaegertracing/all-in-one
   

4. Send Traces
   Use the OpenTelemetry SDK to instrument your application and send traces to Jaeger.
