Set up Jaeger with OpenTelemetry

Question

I have built a sample app to understand the trace and span using OpenTelemetry. I want to see them in Jaeger UI. How to set up Jaeger with my application which uses OpenTelemetry for tracing?

Answer 1

To start a jaeger container:

docker run --rm --name jaeger -d -p 16686:16686 -p 6831:6831/udp jaegertracing/all-in-one

Then you should by able to access to the Jaeger UI at http://localhost:16686

Once you've have a Jaeger up and running, you need to configure a Jaeger exporter to forward spans to Jaeger. This will depends of the language used.

Here is the straightforward documentation to do so in python.
