Sampling and its importance
Learn different terminologies like
Span: The basic unit of work in tracing, representing a single operation within a trace, including details like operation name, start and end times, logs, and tags.
Trace: A collection of spans that share the same trace ID, representing a complete end-to-end execution path across services.
Components: Different parts of the Jaeger architecture, including the agent, collector, query service, and storage backends, each responsible for a specific role in the tracing pipeline.
Jaeger Client Libraries: Language-specific libraries provided by Jaeger that allow applications to create and manage spans and traces, supporting languages like Go, Java, Node.js, Python, C++, and C#.
Agent: A lightweight process that listens for span data sent by client libraries and forwards it to the Jaeger collector.
Collector: The backend component that receives span data from agents, processes it, and stores it in the chosen storage system.
Query: The service that provides APIs and a user interface for searching and visualizing trace data stored by the collector.
Ingester: A component used when storing spans in streaming or scalable storage backends (like Kafka), responsible for consuming spans and writing them to permanent storage.
