Use senders to define what happens when a span gets reported to a RemoteReporter.
Defines the methods called by the RemoteReporter. Each instance of the ISender therefore handles the transport of the spans reported to the target system.
It is usually instantiated through ISenderFactory.GetSender() which receives an instance of Configuration.SenderConfiguration for configuring the sender.
It has a fixed and unique FactoryName with that it's registered to the SenderResolver. If multiple ISenderFactory instances are registered to one SenderResolver, the configuration JAEGER_SENDER_FACTORY needs to be set to the FactoryName to select the targeted instance.
It resolves an ISender instance based on Configuration.SenderConfiguration. Configuration.SenderConfiguration.SenderFactory (usually coming from JAEGER_SENDER_FACTORY) is used to select an ISenderFactory by it's matching FactoryName. This is only needed if multiple ISenderFactory instances are registered to this SenderResolver.
If the factory to use is not found or was ambiguous due to no SenderFactory being defined, NoopSender.Instance is returned instead.
If a factory was found, ISenderFactory.GetSender() will be used to get a configured instance of ISender to be returned to the caller of SenderResolver.Resolve().
var senderResolver = new SenderResolver(loggerFactory)
.RegisterSenderFactory<ThriftSenderFactory>();
var senderConfiguration = new Configuration.SenderConfiguration(loggerFactory)
.WithSenderResolver(senderResolver) // optional, defaults to Configuration.SenderConfiguration.DefaultSenderResolver
.WithSenderFactory(ThriftSenderFactory.Name); // optional when only one Factory registered to senderResolver
var sender = senderResolver.Resolve(senderConfiguration);Usually, there only needs to be one SenderResolver for all ITracer per application. To ease configuration, set Configuration.SenderConfiguration.DefaultSenderResolver with your SenderResolver and register the wanted ISenderFactory instances to it.
Configuration.SenderConfiguration.DefaultSenderResolver = new SenderResolver(loggerFactory)
.RegisterSenderFactory<ThriftSenderFactory>();
// This creates an HTTP sender through ThriftSenderFactory
var httpSender = new Configuration.SenderConfiguration(loggerFactory)
.WithEndpoint("https://jaeger-collector:14268/api/traces")
.WithAuthUsername("username")
.WithAuthPassword("password")
.GetSender();
// This creates an UDP sender through ThriftSenderFactory
var udpSender = new Configuration.SenderConfiguration(loggerFactory)
.WithAgentHost("jaeger-agent")
.WithAgentPort(6832)
.GetSender();
// This creates a tracer, using an ISender generated through ThriftSenderFactory, depending on configuration
var tracer = Configuration.FromEnv(loggerFactory).GetTracer();The ThriftSenderFactory is defined as part of the NuGET package Jaeger.Senders.Thrift. This is usually included through the meta-package Jaeger. If you do not want to add a dependency on ApacheThrift when using other Jaeger.Senders.* packages or when defining your own ISender/ISenderFactory, use the package Jaeger.Core directly instead of Jaeger.
By default, Configuration.SenderConfiguration.DefaultSenderResolver does NOT contain any ISenderFactory instances since Jaeger.Core is agnostic of any ISender implementation. All calls to SenderResolver.Resolve will return NoopSender.Instance.
Therefore, in most cases you want to include the following line before doing any other calls to the Configuration API.
Configuration.SenderConfiguration.DefaultSenderResolver = new SenderResolver(loggerFactory)
.RegisterSenderFactory<ThriftSenderFactory>();
