No traces appear in Jaeger after deploying SocialNetwork via Helm and running wrk2 load test

[xh616]

Environment:

Project: DeathStarBench/socialNetwork

Deployment method: Helm chart

Kubernetes cluster: k8s 1.30

Jaeger: deployed by Helm chart along with the app

Problem

After deploying the SocialNetwork application using Helm and exposing Jaeger via NodePort, I run wrk2 to generate load.

However, no service traces appear in the Jaeger UI — only Jaeger’s own internal services show up.

I expected that the microservices in SocialNetwork (user, media, post, social-graph, etc.) would generate spans and appear in Jaeger’s service dropdown, but the list is empty.

Is there anything missing in the Helm deployment, or do I need to manually enable tracing for the SocialNetwork services?

Has anyone encountered the same issue when deploying via Helm + Kubernetes + Jaeger?

Any guidance or configuration hints would be greatly appreciated.

I encountered this problem and found it was due to the Jaeger image version. Changing the imageVersion to 1.61.0 resolved the issue.
