Jaeger UI for Trace Visualization in Java

Table of Contents

Project Overview

A comprehensive distributed tracing visualization system inspired by Jaeger, built entirely in Java. Provides end-to-end trace visualization, dependency analysis, and performance insights for microservices architectures.

Technology Stack

Backend: Spring Boot 3.x, Micrometer Tracing, OpenTelemetry
Frontend: React/TypeScript with D3.js for visualizations
Storage: Cassandra/Elasticsearch for trace data
Streaming: Apache Kafka for trace ingestion
Caching: Redis for performance
Search: Elasticsearch for trace searching
API: GraphQL for flexible queries

Architecture

Microservices → OpenTelemetry → Trace Collector → Storage → Jaeger UI

Usage Examples

// Example: Instrumenting a Spring Boot service
@Service
public class OrderService {
private final Tracer tracer;
public OrderService(Tracer tracer) {
this.tracer = tracer;
}
public Order processOrder(OrderRequest request) {
Span span = tracer.nextSpan().name("processOrder").start();
try (var ws = tracer.withSpan(span)) {
span.tag("orderId", request.getOrderId());
span.tag("customerId", request.getCustomerId());
// Business logic
Order order = createOrder(request);
processPayment(order);
updateInventory(order);
return order;
} catch (Exception e) {
span.error(e);
throw e;
} finally {
span.finish();
}
}
}
// Example: Custom trace analysis
@Component
public class TraceAnalyzer {
private final TraceStorageService storageService;
public TraceAnalyzer(TraceStorageService storageService) {
this.storageService = storageService;
}
public void analyzeSlowTraces() {
Instant end = Instant.now();
Instant start = end.minus(Duration.ofHours(1));
TraceSearchRequest request = new TraceSearchRequest.Builder()
.startTimeMin(start)
.startTimeMax(end)
.durationMin(5000L) // 5 seconds
.limit(100)
.build();
List<Trace> slowTraces = storageService.searchTraces(request).join();
slowTraces.forEach(trace -> {
System.out.println("Slow trace: " + trace.getTraceId());
System.out.println("Duration: " + trace.getDurationMs() + "ms");
System.out.println("Services: " + trace.getInvolvedServices());
// Identify bottlenecks
trace.identifyCriticalPath().forEach(span -> {
System.out.println("Critical span: " + span.getOperationName() + 
" (" + span.getDurationMs() + "ms)");
});
});
}
}
