tracing-cpp-demo

A primitive illustration for distributed tracing in C++

The illustration draws inspiration from Yuri Shkuro's opentracing-tutorial here.

This repository is derived from Jaeger where the example app in the examples folder has been modified for a hello-world illustraion.

Building

jaeger-client-cpp is built using CMake. It will automatically download needed dependencies using Hunter.

To build:

    mkdir build
    cd build
    cmake ..
    make

Run the all-in-one jaeger environment in another terminal with:

    docker run \
    --rm \
    -p 6831:6831/udp \
    -p 6832:6832/udp \
    -p 16686:16686 \
    jaegertracing/all-in-one:1.7 \
    --log-level=debug

Then, the example program (along with the hello-to string which is Varsha here) can be run with:

    ./app ../examples/config.yml Varsha

Browsing the traces

The traces sent to the Jaeger backend can be accessed and browsed at http://localhost:16686/search
