Tracing

Tracing is an optional feature for performance analysis. It's based on the OpenTelemetry Golang SDK and Jaeger Telemetry.

Prerequisites

1. Docker && Docker Runtime
2. PackageLock Binary

Usage

1. set TRACING_ENABLED to true ($ export TRACING_ENABLED=true)
2. Start the Jaeger Docker Container:

docker run -d --name jaeger \ 
  -e COLLECTOR_ZIPKIN_HTTP_PORT=9411 \
  -p 5775:5775/udp \
  -p 6831:6831/udp \
  -p 6832:6832/udp \
  -p 5778:5778 \
  -p 16686:16686 \
  -p 14268:14268 \
  -p 9411:9411 \
  jaegertracing/all-in-one:latest

• If Jaeger is running somewhere else, specify the location
  with: $ export TRACING_JAEGER_URL=http://<ip/domain name>:<port>/api/traces

3. start PackageLock (eg. go run . start)

PackageLock now traces itself and exports it to the jaeger Container.

You can now open the Jaeger web interface at: http://localhost:16686
