Hi, I’d like to have traces from Grafana in my Grafana Tempo cluster. Does Grafana itself report traces?
I’ve found this https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/setup-grafana/configure-grafana/configure-tracing/ but is it possible to setup tracing with tempo, grafana agent etc?
Sure can https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/setup-grafana/configure-grafana/#tracingopentelemetry
yeah, I’ve tried this and nothing lands in my tempo cluster i’ve set tracing.opentelemetry.otlp: <http://grafana-agent.grafana-dev.svc.cluster.local:4318>
in helm chart but no traces were reported
ok, now I see, I think I’ve missed “address” parameter
for anyone digging in the topic and facing issues with collecting traces - I am using grafana agent for receiving traces and I had to set otlp receiver as a grpc with 4317 port
otelcol.receiver.otlp "default" { grpc { endpoint = "0.0.0.0:4317" } ... }
then in grafana the config looks like this
tracing.opentelemetry.otlp: address: grafana-agent:4317
