Jaeger all in one badger local storage

[bishop20012]

Greetings, I'm running yaeger all-in-one binary on a windows machine, I see there is option of local storage called badger. I don't see that as an option in the yeager binary. How do I set that up? Thanks.

I don't see these options availible in the yaeger all in one binary

--badger.directory-key
--badger.directory-value
--badger.ephemeral

The options --badger.directory-key, --badger.directory-value, and --badger.ephemeral are indeed available for configuration in the Jaeger all-in-one binary. These options are used to configure various aspects of the Badger storage backend.

• --badger.directory-key: Path to store the keys (indexes), this directory should reside in SSD disk. Set ephemeral to false if you want to define this setting.
• --badger.directory-value: Path to store the values (spans). Set ephemeral to false if you want to define this setting.
• --badger.ephemeral: Mark this storage ephemeral, data is stored in tmpfs.

If you do not see these options, ensure you are using a version of the Jaeger all-in-one binary that includes the Badger storage plugin. The default configuration might use an in-memory database, so you may need to explicitly set these options in your configuration or command-line flags ^[1][2][3][4].

I'm using 1.60.0 and i don't see these options.

[dosubot[bot]]

The options --badger.directory-key, --badger.directory-value, and --badger.ephemeral are indeed present in the Jaeger all-in-one binary version 1.60.0. Here are the relevant entries from the documentation:

• --badger.directory-key:

  - name: badger.directory-key
    default_value: /go/bin/data/keys
    usage: |
      Path to store the keys (indexes), this directory should reside in SSD disk. Set ephemeral to false if you want to define this setting.

• --badger.directory-value:

  - name: badger.directory-value
    default_value: /go/bin/data/values
    usage: |
      Path to store the values (spans). Set ephemeral to false if you want to define this setting.

• --badger.ephemeral:

  - name: badger.ephemeral
    default_value: "true"
    usage: Mark this storage ephemeral, data is stored in tmpfs.

Additionally, the source code in plugin/storage/badger/options.go confirms the presence and functionality of these options ^[1][2][3][4].

If you are not seeing these options, it might be due to an issue with the specific binary you are using or how you are invoking the help command. Ensure you are using the correct version and try running the help command again:

jaeger-all-in-one --help

In the first answer @dosubot confused Jaeger v1 and v2. all-in-one is a v1 binary.

To see options related to a particular storage you need to specify that storage first via SPAN_STORAGE_TYPE=badger env var. Then run the binary with help command.

[bishop20012]

Can you specify please? I tried setting env var then running with help but I don't see the badger options

[bishop20012]

Nevermind I do see it. powershell wasn't showing it but cmd is

[bishop20012]

Can you point me to the right direction on how to export traces to elasticsearch? At the moment I'm using badger locally but ideally I would like to send to elastic.
Suggestions please?

[yurishkuro]

Is something not clear in the documentation? https://www.jaegertracing.io/docs/1.60/deployment/#elasticsearch

[bishop20012]

That doc is good, just curious if when writing to the elasticsearch index I created how do I specify that index name. I see many parameters for elastic but I can't see how I specify the index I want to write to from the jaeger params availibe

[yurishkuro]

You don't have full control over index names but you can customize some parts of the name. See full list of cli flags on the website.

I have yaeger pointing to elastic now and I'm seeing this error message in yaeger. Please advise?

HTTP Error: search services failed: elastic: Error 400 (Bad Request): all shards failed [type=search_phase_execution_exception]"Text fields are not optimised for operations that require per-document field data like aggregations and sorting, so these operations are disabled by default. Please use a keyword field instead. Alternatively, set fielddata=true on [status] in order to load field data by uninverting the inverted index. Note that this can use significant memory."
