Jaeger

The Jaeger tool lets a workbench agent query distributed traces from a Jaeger backend. Configure the connection once, then attach it to the workbenches that should use it.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

• A deployed Jaeger instance with an accessible query API endpoint (for example, a jaeger-query service or ingress).
• Permission in Plural Console to create a configured tool and edit the target workbench.
• Optional: credentials if your Jaeger deployment uses basic authentication or bearer token authentication.
• An existing workbench, or permission to create one. See Setting up a workbench.

Capabilities

The Jaeger tool is read-only and provides one operation:

• Query traces — search for distributed trace spans by service name, operation name, duration range, span attributes, and time range. Results are individual spans, not reconstructed trace trees.

Grant the Jaeger credentials read-only query access. Write or administrative permissions are not required.

Create the Jaeger tool

1. In Plural Console, open Workbenches → Integrations.
2. Find the Jaeger card and click Add tool.
