gRPC sender for Jaeger (Jaeger.Senders.GRPC)

Usage

This package contains the GrpcSenderFactory for use with SenderResolver.

To use this, include the following line before doing any other calls to the Configuration API.

Configuration.SenderConfiguration.DefaultSenderResolver = new SenderResolver(loggerFactory)
	// You can add other ISenderFactory instances too
	.RegisterSenderFactory<GrpcSenderFactory>();

If you need to set JAEGER_SENDER_FACTORY (when multiple factories are registered), GrpcSenderFactory.Name corresponds to "grpc".

Configuration

Independent on what variables are set in Configuration.SenderConfiguration, a GrpcSender is created.

new SenderConfiguration(loggerFactory)
	// Used with GrpcSender:
	.WithGrpcTarget(grpcTarget)                    // Host and port or any other valid gRPC target
	.WithGrpcRootCertificate(grpcRootCertificate); // Path to the root certificate

Contained Senders

This package contains one sender. GrpcSender for communicating with the Jaeger Collector.

In containerized environments, you usually want to talk to the Jaeger Agent via UDP for fast communication with little overhead. This package does not allow communication with Jaeger Agent. So if you require that, use the ThriftSenderFactory instead.

GrpcSender

Communicates with the Jaeger Collector. This sender offers authentication through client certificate using GrpcRootCertificate.

The default values are as follows:

Setting	Default
grpcTarget	(none)
grpcRootCertificate	(none)
