Jaeger Go Tracer Example

This is a simple example of using the Jaeger Go tracer with SignalFx. See ./main.go for the example code.

Building

To build this example locally, from this directory do the following:

$ ln -s $(dirname $(pwd)) $GOPATH/src/github.com/signalfx/tracing-examples
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/signalfx/tracing-examples/jaeger-go
$ go build .

Now, to run it you need to configure the Jaeger tracer. The simplest way to do this is via environment variables:

$ # Change this to whatever your app is called
$ export JAEGER_SERVICE_NAME=my-app
$ # This will be different if using the Smart Agent/Gateway deployment model
$ export JAEGER_ENDPOINT=https://ingest.signalfx.com/v1/trace
$ export JAEGER_USER=auth
$ export JAEGER_PASSWORD=<MY_ORG_TOKEN>

$ ./jaeger-go
