Jaeger Service#

The Jaeger service provides comprehensive distributed tracing and performance analysis with 8 tools for managing tracing resources.

Overview#

The Jaeger service in Cloud Native MCP Server enables AI assistants to analyze distributed traces, service dependencies, and performance metrics efficiently. It provides tools for trace querying, dependency analysis, and performance monitoring.

Key Capabilities#

Available Tools (8)#

Trace Management#

• jaeger-get-traces: Get traces by query
• jaeger-get-trace: Get a specific trace
• jaeger-search-traces: Search traces with filters

Service and Operation Analysis#

• jaeger-get-services: Get all services
• jaeger-get-service-operations: Get operations for a service
• jaeger-get-operations: Get all operations

Dependency and Metrics#

• jaeger-get-dependencies: Get service dependencies
• jaeger-get-metrics: Get tracing metrics

Best Practices#

• Implement proper tracing headers propagation
• Use appropriate sampling strategies for performance
• Regularly analyze traces for performance bottlenecks
• Monitor service dependencies for architecture changes
• Set up alerts based on tracing metrics and anomalies

Next Steps#

• OpenTelemetry Service for metrics and logs
• Tracing Guides for detailed setup
• Performance Analysis for optimization
