Access the Jaeger REST API programatically in OpenShift

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on dev.to

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • oauth-proxy

    A reverse proxy that provides authentication with OpenShift via OAuth and Kubernetes service accounts (by openshift)

Or (if you are using another proxy) you’ll need to configure your credentials to access the API. I’ll assume you’re using the OpenShift Oauth Proxy.

  • jaeger

    CNCF Jaeger, a Distributed Tracing Platform

Sometimes, it is needed because you want, for instance, access to the REST API which is not documented because it is for internal usage. Or you want (as it is my case) to test something from the UI.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
