Tempo#

This page introduces Tempo in KubeStack+ and points you to the traces how-to that uses it.

How it works#

Stakater operates Tempo on the cluster as the distributed tracing backend. Your application emits spans through the OpenTelemetry SDK over OTLP; the in-cluster collector routes them to Tempo; you query them in Grafana through Forecastle by trace ID, service, or duration.

What you do#

Instrument your application with the OpenTelemetry SDK or auto-instrumentation agent for your language, and point it at the in-cluster collector via deployment.env in your values.yaml for the Stakater Application Helm Chart.
