Tracing Apache Camel route with Jaeger

I have developed a Camel route with Spring Boot. Now I want to trace the route using Jaeger. I tried this example to trace the route using camel-opentracing component, but I am unable to get the traces to Jaeger.

I can only see it in the console. One thing I am not clear is where to add the Jaeger URL? Any working example will be helpful.

Apache Camel doesn't provide an implementation of OpenTracing, so you have to add also an implementation to your dependencies. For example Jaeger.

Maven POM:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
        <artifactId>camel-opentracing-starter</artifactId>
        <version>${camel.version}</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>io.opentracing.contrib</groupId>
        <artifactId>opentracing-spring-jaeger-starter</artifactId>
        <version>3.2.2</version>
    </dependency>

Also you have to enable OpenTracing for Apache Camel on your Spring Boot application class, see Spring Boot:

If you are using Spring Boot then you can add the camel-opentracing-starter dependency, and turn on OpenTracing by annotating the main class with @CamelOpenTracing.

The Tracer will be implicitly obtained from the camel context’s Registry, or the ServiceLoader, unless a Tracer bean has been defined by the application.

Spring Boot application class:

@SpringBootApplication
@CamelOpenTracing
public class CamelApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(CamelApplication.class, args);
    }
}
