What are best practices for implementing Jaeger?

Implementing Jaeger effectively can greatly enhance your application's observability and tracing capabilities. This guide provides best practices to get you started with Jaeger, ensuring you have a robust system for monitoring and diagnosing performance bottlenecks.

// Example of initializing Jaeger in a PHP application use Jaeger\Config; $config = Config::getInstance(); $config->initTracer('my-service-name', [ 'sampler' => [ 'type' => 'const', 'param' => 1, ], 'logs' => true, 'reporter' => [ 'logSpans' => true, 'localAgentHostPort' => 'jaeger-agent:6831', ] ]); $tracer = $config->getTracer(); // Starting a new span $span = $tracer->startSpan('my-operation'); // Your code here $span->finish();
