OpenShift Commons Briefing #82: Distributed Tracing with Jaeger & Prometheus on Kubernetes
Channel: OpenShift
Date: 2017-07-12

Jaeger was inspired by Dapper and OpenZipkin and is a distributed tracing system released as open source by Uber Technologies.

It can be used for monitoring microservice-based architectures:

*Distributed context propagation
*Distributed transaction monitoring
*Root cause analysis
*Service dependency analysis
*Performance / latency optimization

In this briefing, Uber’s Yuri Shkuro and Red Hat’s Gary Brown, both core contributors to the Jaeger project, will give an introduction to using Jaeger with Prometheus on Kubernetes.
