Chapter 3. Distributed tracing and Service Mesh
3.1. Configuring Red Hat OpenShift distributed tracing platform with Service Mesh
Integrating Red Hat OpenShift distributed tracing platform with Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh is made of up two parts: Red Hat OpenShift distributed tracing platform (Tempo) and Red Hat OpenShift distributed tracing data collection.
- Red Hat OpenShift distributed tracing platform (Tempo)
Provides distributed tracing to monitor and troubleshoot transactions in complex distributed systems. Tempo is based on the open source Grafana Tempo project.
For more about information about distributed tracing platform (Tempo), its features, installation, and configuration, see: Red Hat OpenShift distributed tracing platform (Tempo).
- Red Hat OpenShift distributed tracing data collection
Is based on the open source OpenTelemetry project, which aims to provide unified, standardized, and vendor-neutral telemetry data collection for cloud-native software. Red Hat OpenShift distributed tracing data collection product provides support for deploying and managing the OpenTelemetry Collector and simplifying the workload instrumentation.
The OpenTelemetry Collector can receive, process, and forward telemetry data in multiple formats, making it the ideal component for telemetry processing and interoperability between telemetry systems. The Collector provides a unified solution for collecting and processing metrics, traces, and logs.
