OpenTelemetry Example Application

This set of projects is an example application that use open telemetry collector to distribute trace, metrics and log to popular monitoring software.

The application demonstrates a number of OpenTelemetry concepts:

• OpenTelemetry APIs for distributed context propagation.
• Basic conventions of how messaging systems are handled in OpenTelemetry.

Running the example

To run the example using docker-compose, run the following from this directory:

docker-compose up --build

With everything running:

• View the demo web app at http://localhost:16686
• View traces with Zipkin at endpoint http://localhost:9411/zipkin.
• View traces with Jaeger at endpoint http://localhost:16686.
• View metrics with prometheus at endpoint http://localhost:9090.
• View dashboard with grafana at endpoint http://localhost:3000.
