IBM / newrelic-istio-adapter

This adapter is used to upload telemetry data which is collected by Istio Envoy proxy to NewRelic backend. It is different from compiled in adapters. You can run it as a separated process out of mixer process. The adapter communicates with Mixer, parse and send metric data to the real backend -- NewRelic.

Question: Istio metrics and distributed tracing #3

Open xrismck opened 4 years ago

xrismck commented 4 years ago

What Istio metrics will the adapter collect by default? Please point me to info regarding defaults and customization options.

Can it be configured to collect distributed Jaeger, Zipkin, or Lightstep tracing data as discussed at the following link? https://istio.io/docs/tasks/observability/distributed-tracing/

Lastly, I ask for your opinion if you have one for this question. If distributed tracing data can be ingested into New Relic, would it be an improvement to using New Relic APM distributed tracing capabilities?

You should use the new adapter created by New Relic Engineering: https://github.com/newrelic/newrelic-istio-adapter
