I am facing difficulty in working with jaeger and Istio.
Can anyone please describe the steps that are to be followed in configuring jaeger and istio for any demo application. I have tried a few blogs and sites but unfortunately, nothing worked for me. if anyone could help me in this that would be great.
I hope you have followed the official documentation of the jager with istio.
If you are using the helm chart make the following changes required.
In main values.yaml file
tracing:
enabled: true
In tracing/values.yaml
provider: jaeger
Export the dashboard via Kube port-forward or ingress.
Official Documentation. https://istio.io/docs/tasks/telemetry/distributed-tracing/jaeger/
NOTE: The important thing by default jaeger will trace something like 0.1% request i.e. 1 request out of 100 so put a lot of requests only then you can see a trace in UI.
