Windows Service Deployment
In Windows environments, Jaeger processes can be hosted and managed as Windows services controlled via the sc
utility. To configure such services on Windows, download
nssm.exe
for the appropriate architecture, and issue commands similar to how Jaeger is typically run. The example below showcases a basic Elasticsearch setup, configured using both environment variables and process arguments.
Agent
nssm install JaegerAgent C:\Jaeger\jaeger-agent.exe --reporter.grpc.host-port=localhost:14250
nssm set JaegerAgent AppStdout C:\Jaeger\jaeger-agent.out.log
nssm set JaegerAgent AppStderr C:\Jaeger\jaeger-agent.err.log
nssm set JaegerAgent Description Jaeger Agent service
nssm start JaegerAgent
Collector
nssm install JaegerCollector C:\Jaeger\jaeger-collector.exe --es.server-urls=http://localhost:9200 --es.username=jaeger --es.password=PASSWORD
nssm set JaegerCollector AppStdout C:\Jaeger\jaeger-collector.out.log
nssm set JaegerCollector AppStderr C:\Jaeger\jaeger-collector.err.log
nssm set JaegerCollector Description Jaeger Collector service
nssm set JaegerCollector AppEnvironmentExtra SPAN_STORAGE_TYPE=elasticsearch
nssm start JaegerCollector
Query UI
nssm install JaegerUI C:\Jaeger\jaeger-query.exe --es.server-urls=http://localhost:9200 --es.username=jaeger --es.password=PASSWORD
nssm set JaegerUI AppStdout C:\Jaeger\jaeger-ui.out.log
nssm set JaegerUI AppStderr C:\Jaeger\jaeger-ui.err.log
nssm set JaegerUI Description Jaeger Query service
nssm set JaegerUI AppEnvironmentExtra SPAN_STORAGE_TYPE=elasticsearch
nssm start JaegerUI
