No error tags shown on Jaeger integration

Support
#1

I have integrated Jaeger with Tyk and I am able to see the spans.

But upon error there isn’t any error tag attached in Jaeger UI. When checked with tyk gateway source code I could not find any SetTag() method or Set() method to set error tag being called. Is any alternative method being used for it or did I missed out something? Won’t Tyk add error tags to the spans when an error occurs?

When an error occurs I only had spans till the place where error occurred. I believe it is the normal behaviour. Please correct me if it is not?

@Olu @Martin I could not find logs fields also in the span. Can somebody please help me with this urgently. Should I add some additional configuration to get the log field, error tag etc. I am currently following methods, code snippets mentioned in Tyk documentation. I am using jaeger all-in-one docker image with Tyk open source.

Attaching screenshot of a span for Tyk trace for reference. Notice there isn’t any logs field. Also upon errors the error tag is not set.

Notice in second image the error tag is set when error happens and the additional “Logs” field.
Is it because I am missing out some configuration or something else?

Hi @sailor, thanks for your patience. We found that error spans in Jaeger tracing are not logged correctly and a bug report has been filed. I will follow up with the issue and update this thread when I get the latest.
