To learn how Istio handles tracing, visit this task's [overview](../overview/).
|
|
|
|
## Before you begin
|
|
|
|
1. To set up Istio, follow the instructions in the [Installation guide](/docs/setup/kubernetes/install/helm)
|
|
and use the `--set tracing.enabled=true` Helm install options to enable tracing.
|
|
|
|
{{< warning >}}
|
|
When you enable tracing, you can set the sampling rate that Istio uses for tracing.
|
|
Use the `pilot.traceSampling` option to set the sampling rate. The default sampling rate is 1%.
|
|
{{< /warning >}}
|
|
|
|
1. Deploy the [Bookinfo](/docs/examples/bookinfo/#deploying-the-application) sample application.
|
|
|
|
## Accessing the dashboard
|
|
|
|
1. To setup access to the tracing dashboard, use port forwarding:
|
|
|
|
{{< text bash >}}
|
|
$ kubectl -n istio-system port-forward $(kubectl -n istio-system get pod -l app=istio-ingressgateway -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}') 15032:15032 &
|
|
{{< /text >}}
|
|
|
|
Open your browser to [http://localhost:15032](http://localhost:15032).
|
|
|
|
1. To use a Kubernetes ingress, specify the Helm chart option `--set tracing.ingress.enabled=true`.
|
|
|
|
## Generating traces using the Bookinfo sample
|
|
|
|
1. When the Bookinfo application is up and running, access `http://$GATEWAY_URL/productpage` one or more times
|
|
to generate trace information.
|
|
|
|
{{< boilerplate trace-generation >}}
|
|
|
|
1. From the left-hand pane of the dashboard, select `productpage` from the **Service** drop-down list and click
|
|
**Find Traces**:
|
|
|
|
{{< image link="./istio-tracing-list.png" caption="Tracing Dashboard" >}}
|
|
|
|
1. Click on the most recent trace at the top to see the details corresponding to the
|
|
latest request to the `/productpage`:
|
|
|
|
{{< image link="./istio-tracing-details.png" caption="Detailed Trace View" >}}
|
|
|
|
1. The trace is comprised of a set of spans,
|
|
where each span corresponds to a Bookinfo service, invoked during the execution of a `/productpage` request, or
|
|
internal Istio component, for example: `istio-ingressgateway`, `istio-mixer`, `istio-policy`.
|
|
|
|
## Cleanup
|
|
|
|
1. Remove any `kubectl port-forward` processes that may still be running:
|
|
|
|
{{< text bash >}}
|
|
$ killall kubectl
|
|
{{< /text >}}
|
|
|
|
1. If you are not planning to explore any follow-on tasks, refer to the
|
|
[Bookinfo cleanup](/docs/examples/bookinfo/#cleanup) instructions
|
|
to shutdown the application.
