I have deployed one application on K8s cluster which is instrumented using Opentelemetry. It is emitting traces and those traces are collected by OTEL collector. Then, using Kafka exporter in OTEL collector, I am sending those traces to Kafka as statefulset on another K8s cluster. I am able to send those traces as messages using topic “otlp_spans” to Kafka broker. Now, I have deployed Jaeger:All-in-one on the same cluster.
I want to send those traces from Kafka to this Jaeger. So, my question is how I should define this Jaeger as Kafka consumer which will subscribe to the “otlp_span” topic and I can traces in Jaeger?
Or, should I create custom Kafka sink connector for Jaeger? If so, how to create this Kafka sink connector?
