jaegertracing/jaeger repository overview

⁠jaeger

Jaeger V2 based on OpenTelemetry collector. Read the blog post⁠.

⁠Try it out

• Download docker-compose.yml from https://github.com/jaegertracing/jaeger/blob/main/examples/hotrod/docker-compose.yml⁠, e.g.:
  • curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jaegertracing/jaeger/refs/heads/main/examples/hotrod/docker-compose.yml
• Optional: find the latest images versions (see https://www.jaegertracing.io/download/⁠) and pass them via environment variables JAEGER_VERSION and HOTROD_VERSION. Otherwise docker compose will use the latest tag, which is fine for the first time you download the images, but once they are in your local registry the latest tag is never updated and you may be running stale (and possibly incompatible) versions of Jaeger and the HotROD app.
• Run Jaeger backend and HotROD demo, e.g.:
  • JAEGER_VERSION=2.0.0 HOTROD_VERSION=1.63.0 docker compose -f docker-compose.yml up
• Access Jaeger UI at http://localhost:16686⁠ and HotROD app at http://localhost:8080⁠
• Shutdown / cleanup with docker compose -f docker-compose.yml down

⁠Deploying with MCP

The embedded all-in-one configuration serves an MCP endpoint for AI agents on the query HTTP port, without TLS or authentication. Secure it before exposing it to remote clients, or leave the mcp block out of the configuration; see the MCP server page⁠.
