8.3 Setup Environment

In this section, we will test the routing rule configured for the Gateway. The expected result is that thespan from the security.json file will be sent to the gateway-traces-security.out file.

Exercise

Start the Gateway: In the Gateway terminal window navigate to the [WORKSHOP]/8-routing directory and run:

​
../otelcol --config=gateway.yaml

Start the Agent: In the Agent terminal window navigate to the [WORKSHOP]/8-routing directory and run:

​
../otelcol --config=agent.yaml

Create new security trace: In the Tests terminal window navigate to the [WORKSHOP]/8-routing directory.

The following JSON contains attributes which will trigger the routing rule. Copy the content from the tab below and save into a file named security.json.

​
{"resourceSpans":[{"resource":{"attributes":[{"key":"service.name","value":{"stringValue":"password_check"}},{"key":"deployment.environment","value":{"stringValue":"security_applications"}}]},"scopeSpans":[{"scope":{"name":"my.library","version":"1.0.0","attributes":[{"key":"my.scope.attribute","value":{"stringValue":"some scope attribute"}}]},"spans":[{"traceId":"5B8EFFF798038103D269B633813FC60C","spanId":"EEE19B7EC3C1B174","parentSpanId":"EEE19B7EC3C1B173","name":"I'm a server span","startTimeUnixNano":"1544712660000000000","endTimeUnixNano":"1544712661000000000","kind":2,"attributes":[{"keytest":"my.span.attr","value":{"stringValue":"some value"}}]}]}]}]}
