Jaeger

Jaeger is a distributed tracing system.

Introduction

This chart adds all components required to run Jaeger as described in the jaeger-kubernetes GitHub page for a production-like deployment. The chart default will deploy a new Cassandra cluster (using the cassandra chart), but also supports using an existing Cassandra cluster, deploying a new ElasticSearch cluster (using the elasticsearch chart), or connecting to an existing ElasticSearch cluster. Once the storage backend is available, the chart will deploy jaeger-agent as a DaemonSet and deploy the jaeger-collector and jaeger-query components as Deployments.

Installing the Chart

Add the Jaeger Tracing Helm repository:

helm repo add jaegertracing https://jaegertracing.github.io/helm-charts

To install the chart with the release name jaeger, run the following command:

helm install jaeger jaegertracing/jaeger

By default, the chart deploys the following:

• Jaeger Agent DaemonSet
• Jaeger Collector Deployment
• Jaeger Query (UI) Deployment
• Cassandra StatefulSet

IMPORTANT NOTE: For testing purposes, the footprint for Cassandra can be reduced significantly in the event resources become constrained (such as running on your local laptop or in a Vagrant environment). You can override the resources required run running this command:

helm install jaeger jaegertracing/jaeger \
  --set cassandra.config.max_heap_size=1024M \
  --set cassandra.config.heap_new_size=256M \
  --set cassandra.resources.requests.memory=2048Mi \
  --set cassandra.resources.requests.cpu=0.4 \
  --set cassandra.resources.limits.memory=2048Mi \
  --set cassandra.resources.limits.cpu=0.4

Installing the Chart using an Existing Cassandra Cluster

If you already have an existing running Cassandra cluster, you can configure the chart as follows to use it as your backing store (make sure you replace <HOST>, <PORT>, etc with your values):

helm install jaeger jaegertracing/jaeger \
  --set provisionDataStore.cassandra=false \
  --set storage.cassandra.host=<HOST> \
  --set storage.cassandra.port=<PORT> \
  --set storage.cassandra.user=<USER> \
  --set storage.cassandra.password=<PASSWORD>

Installing the Chart using an Existing Cassandra Cluster with TLS

If you already have an existing running Cassandra cluster with TLS, you can configure the chart as follows to use it as your backing store:

Content of the values.yaml file:

storage:
  type: cassandra
  cassandra:
    host: <HOST>
    port: <PORT>
    user: <USER>
    password: <PASSWORD>
    tls:
      enabled: true
      secretName: cassandra-tls-secret

provisionDataStore:
  cassandra: false

Content of the jaeger-tls-cassandra-secret.yaml file:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: cassandra-tls-secret
data:
  commonName: <SERVER NAME>
  ca-cert.pem: |
    -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
    <CERT>
    -----END CERTIFICATE-----    
  client-cert.pem: |
    -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
    <CERT>
    -----END CERTIFICATE-----    
  client-key.pem: |
    -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
    -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----    
  cqlshrc: |
    [ssl]
    certfile = ~/.cassandra/ca-cert.pem
    userkey = ~/.cassandra/client-key.pem
    usercert = ~/.cassandra/client-cert.pem    

kubectl apply -f jaeger-tls-cassandra-secret.yaml
helm install jaeger jaegertracing/jaeger --values values.yaml

Installing the Chart using a New ElasticSearch Cluster

To install the chart with the release name jaeger using a new ElasticSearch cluster instead of Cassandra (default), run the following command:

helm install jaeger jaegertracing/jaeger \
  --set provisionDataStore.cassandra=false \
  --set provisionDataStore.elasticsearch=true \
  --set storage.type=elasticsearch

Installing the Chart using an Existing Elasticsearch Cluster

A release can be configured as follows to use an existing ElasticSearch cluster as it as the storage backend:

helm install jaeger jaegertracing/jaeger \
  --set provisionDataStore.cassandra=false \
  --set storage.type=elasticsearch \
  --set storage.elasticsearch.host=<HOST> \
  --set storage.elasticsearch.port=<PORT> \
  --set storage.elasticsearch.user=<USER> \
  --set storage.elasticsearch.password=<password>

Installing the Chart using an Existing ElasticSearch Cluster with TLS

If you already have an existing running ElasticSearch cluster with TLS, you can configure the chart as follows to use it as your backing store:

Content of the jaeger-values.yaml file:

storage:
  type: elasticsearch
  elasticsearch:
    host: <HOST>
    port: <PORT>
    scheme: https
    user: <USER>
    password: <PASSWORD>
provisionDataStore:
  cassandra: false
  elasticsearch: false
query:
  cmdlineParams:
    es.tls.ca: "/tls/es.pem"
  extraConfigmapMounts:
    - name: jaeger-tls
      mountPath: /tls
      subPath: ""
      configMap: jaeger-tls
      readOnly: true
collector:
  cmdlineParams:
    es.tls.ca: "/tls/es.pem"
  extraConfigmapMounts:
    - name: jaeger-tls
      mountPath: /tls
      subPath: ""
      configMap: jaeger-tls
      readOnly: true
spark:
  enabled: true
  cmdlineParams:
    java.opts: "-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=/tls/trust.store -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=changeit"
  extraConfigmapMounts:
    - name: jaeger-tls
      mountPath: /tls
      subPath: ""
      configMap: jaeger-tls
      readOnly: true

Generate configmap jaeger-tls:

keytool -import -trustcacerts -keystore trust.store -storepass changeit -alias es-root -file es.pem
kubectl create configmap jaeger-tls --from-file=trust.store --from-file=es.pem

helm install jaeger jaegertracing/jaeger --values jaeger-values.yaml

Installing the Chart with Ingester enabled

The architecture illustrated below can be achieved by enabling the ingester component. When enabled, Cassandra or Elasticsearch (depending on the configured values) now becomes the ingester's storage backend, whereas Kafka becomes the storage backend of the collector service.

Installing the Chart with Ingester enabled using a New Kafka Cluster

To provision a new Kafka cluster along with jaeger-ingester:

helm install jaeger jaegertracing/jaeger \
  --set provisionDataStore.kafka=true \
  --set ingester.enabled=true

Installing the Chart with Ingester using an existing Kafka Cluster

You can use an exisiting Kafka cluster with jaeger too

helm install jaeger jaegertracing/jaeger \
  --set ingester.enabled=true \
  --set storage.kafka.brokers={<BROKER1:PORT>,<BROKER2:PORT>} \
  --set storage.kafka.topic=<TOPIC>
