A variety of receivers are available to the OpenCensus Service (both Agent and Collector)

Currently there are some inconsistencies between Agent and Collector configuration, those will be addressed by issue #135.

OpenCensus

This receiver receives spans from OpenCensus instrumented applications and translates them into the internal span types that are then sent to the collector/exporters.

Its address can be configured in the YAML configuration file under section "receivers", subsection "opencensus" and field "address". The syntax of the field "address" is [address|host]:<port-number>.

For example:

receivers:
  opencensus:
    address: "localhost:55678"

Collector Differences

(To be fixed via #135)

By default this receiver is ALWAYS started on the OpenCensus Collector, it can be disabled via command-line by using --receive-oc-trace=false. On the Collector only the port can be configured, example:

receivers:
  opencensus:
    port: 55678

Jaeger

This receiver receives spans from Jaeger collector HTTP and Thrift uploads and translates them into the internal span types that are then sent to the collector/exporters.

Its address can be configured in the YAML configuration file under section "receivers", subsection "jaeger" and fields "collector_http_port", "collector_thrift_port".

For example:

receivers:
  jaeger:
    collector_thrift_port: 14267
    collector_http_port: 14268

Collector Differences

(To be fixed via #135)

On the Collector Jaeger reception at the default ports can be enabled via command-line --receive-jaeger, and the name of the fields is slightly different:

receivers:
  jaeger:
    jaeger-thrift-tchannel-port: 14267
    jaeger-thrift-http-port: 14268

Zipkin

This receiver receives spans from Zipkin (V1 and V2) HTTP uploads and translates them into the internal span types that are then sent to the collector/exporters.

Its address can be configured in the YAML configuration file under section "receivers", subsection "zipkin" and field "address". The syntax of the field "address" is [address|host]:<port-number>.

For example:

receivers:
  zipkin:
    address: "localhost:9411"

Collector Differences

(To be fixed via #135)

On the Collector Zipkin reception at the port 9411 can be enabled via command-line --receive-zipkin. On the Collector only the port can be configured, example:

receivers:
  zipkin:
    port: 9411
