Procedure from OpenShift console

1. Log in to the OpenShift Container Platform web console as a user with cluster-admin rights. If you use Red Hat OpenShift Dedicated, you must have an account with the dedicated-admin role.
2. Navigate to Networking Routes.

3. On the Routes page, select the Service Mesh control plane project, for example istio-system, from the Namespace menu.

   The Location column displays the linked address for each route.

4. If necessary, use the filter to find the jaeger route. Click the route Location to launch the console.
5. Click Log In With OpenShift.

1. Log in to the OpenShift Container Platform CLI as a user with the cluster-admin role. If you use Red Hat OpenShift Dedicated, you must have an account with the dedicated-admin role.

   $ oc login --username=<NAMEOFUSER> https://<HOSTNAME>:6443

2. To query for details of the route using the command line, enter the following command. In this example, istio-system is the Service Mesh control plane namespace.

   $ oc get route -n istio-system jaeger -o jsonpath='{.spec.host}'

3. Launch a browser and navigate to https://<JAEGER_URL>, where <JAEGER_URL> is the route that you discovered in the previous step.
4. Log in using the same user name and password that you use to access the OpenShift Container Platform console.

5. If you have added services to the service mesh and have generated traces, you can use the filters and Find Traces button to search your trace data.

   If you are validating the console installation, there is no trace data to display.
