does jaeger provide a way of querying the trace data without using the UI provided. I'm aware that zipkin provides an API to directly access the trace data etc.
Use-case: i'm trying to use the trace data to pull together a custom report for internal purposes. I could scrape the data from the UI but wondered if there was an easier way.
Your best chance is to get the data from whatever storage the Jaeger collector is using (Cassandra, Elastic.) (https://www.jaegertracing.io/docs/1.6/deployment/ )
My suggestion is to store in Elastic and use Kibana to accomplish what you need.
Old topic but the current version of Jaeger Query UI is a single page app and has an underlying API that allows the same queries capabilities as the UI.

I need a server monitoring REST API which should provide the below points. can anyone suggest which one is best? I have found some tools like Nagios, Zabbix and Grafana but not sure they will provide Rest API.
1)Server Response time monitoring
2)Ping monitoring
3)Port monitoring
4)Graph event presentation & Logs APIs?
4)CPU, Harddisk, memory, Apache and Monitoring, etc.
Purpose of required API
This API will integrate the A application and gathering information from the C application then we can consolidate represent the custom graph in A application as per JSON result.
Any suggestions would be great.
Both Nagios and Zabbix do actual data collection, but Grafana only visualizes the data so you'll be looking at the former for this API. Both have a JSON API:

I am currently trying to connect a community connector (apps script) to GA4 in order to retrieve data and modify it before sending it to data studio. I have done this for Universal Analytics properties easily with advanced services; However, Since the Advanced services Analytics option does not work for GA4 properties I have been looking into retrieving data from analytics using fetchUrl. I am wondering if this is the best/only way to connect to GA4?
I have received input for my current code (basic fetchUrl code) which suggested that I would need to access the cloud api for authentication. Now I am wondering if I actually have to do these extra steps to connect to a google source from app script? The reason why I am unsure is because supermetrics has a GA4 connector which does not require any extra steps and of course connects to a GA4 property with a simple authentication method. I would like to essentially create that same connection in app script. Any advice would also be appreciated.
Also I would love to hear if there is any information on when we can expect advanced services to work for GA4.
Currently you will need to use the new Google Analytics Data API (GA4), however in this moment it is an early preview version of the API and is subject to change.
I don't know what the supermetrics plugin does specifically, however i recommend to link the automatic export of GA4 data in BigQuery and connect to it.
Google has not released any deadline for the release of this advanced service. I believe that before this it will have to make this whole new system stable since every week it undergoes updates and adjustments.
In the Jaeger UI http://localhost:16686/search, there is an option to upload JSON files for traces.
I wonder can we download the traces from Jaeger itself and use them in the future for finding performance issues?
How can we do that, I see no option to download traces from Jaeger Ui.
When you open an individual trace in the Jaeger UI, there is a View dropdown in the top right corner. One of the options is to view/download the given trace as a JSON file.
You can also programmatically query the Jaeger query service via JSON/Protobuf API, but those endpoints will not result in a data format that you can load back into the UI.
https://www.jaegertracing.io/docs/latest/apis/#trace-retrieval-apis
See the answer on this jaeger issue, you will need to query elastic search or the source where the data is stored.
Alternatively, you should raise an issue on jaeger-ui detailing your case.
I'm trying to build a data collection web endpoint.The Use case is similar to Google Analytics collect API. I want to add this endpoint(GET method) to all pages on the website and on-page load collect page info through this API.
Actually I'm thinking of doing this by using Google Cloud services like Endpoints, BQ(for storing the data).. I don't want to host it in any dedicated servers. Otherwise, I will be end up doing a lot for managing/monitoring the service.
Please suggest me how do I achieve this with Google Cloud Service? OR direct me to right direction if my idea is wrong
I suggest focussing on deciding where you want to code to run. There are several GCP options that don't require dedicated servers:
Google App Engine
Cloud Functions/Firebase Functions
Cloud Run (new!)
Look here to see which support Cloud Endpoints.
All of these products can support running code that takes the data from the request and sends it to the BigQuery API.
There are various ways of achieving what you want. David's answer is absolutely valid, but I would like to introduce Stackdriver Custom Metrics to the discussion.
Custom metrics are similar to regular Stackdriver Monitoring metrics, but you create your own time series (Stackdriver lingo described here) to keep track of whatever you want and clients can sent in their data through an API.
You could achieve the same thing with a compute solution (Google Cloud Functions for example) and a database (Google BigTable for example) and writing your own logic.. but Custom Metrics is an already built solution that includes dashboards and alerting policies while being a more managed solution.
We're working with Cumulocity and we'd like to offer services to our customers that are not currently possible to implement with Cumulocity. As an example, we'd like to be able to retrieve a list of devices located within x kilometers of a given point.
Currently there are two limitations that prevent us from doing so:
the impossibility of extending the Cumulocity API with custom route/parameters
the impossibility of implementing custom functions for specific API GET calls
I can think of a workaround to achieve this, like a POST request of an event that would be processed by an Esper rule, generating another event/measurement that could then be accessed by a GET. But I think we can agree this is not a suitable mechanism.
Please not that the use case I described above is just an example. Our needs don't limit to this and we need a standardized way to expand our services without requirering updates on Cumulocity side.
There are two topics here, I believe:
Geo-querying: Some geographical querying and aggregation use cases can be handled through CEL. A general geo-querying API is on the Cumulocity roadmap. Note: This use case is not only related to extending the API, as such queries go right down into the database.
Extending the API: That is actually possible. Cumulocity has a microservices API in which you can expose other APIs under the URL /services/.... This is, for example, how connectivity platforms are interfaced. The API is not on the web site because it's not GA yet, but you can certainly discuss it with your Cumulocity contact or open a ticket. This btw includes also adding permissions for the new microservices, so that you can do proper A&A.
