How to configure Jaeger with elasticsearch?

Question

I have tried executing this docker command to setup Jaeger Agent and jaeger collector with elasticsearch.

sudo docker run \\
-p 5775:5775/udp \\
-p 6831:6831         


        

Answer 1

As I mentioned in my comment on the OP's first answer above, I was getting an error when running the docker-compose exactly as given:

Error: unknown flag: --collector.host-port

I think this CLI flag has been deprecated by the Jaeger folks since that answer was written. So I poked around in the jaeger-agent documentation a bit:

1. https://www.jaegertracing.io/docs/1.20/deployment/#discovery-system-integration
2. https://www.jaegertracing.io/docs/1.20/cli/#jaeger-agent

And I got this to work with a couple of small modifications:

1. I added port range "14250:14250" to the jaeger-collector ports
2. I updated the jaeger-agent command input with: command: ["--reporter.grpc.host-port=jaeger-collector:14250"]
3. Finally, I updated the ellastic search version in the image tag to the latest version they have available at this time (though I doubt this was required).

The updated docker-compose.yaml:

version: "3"
