# Grafana Tempo
|
|
|
|
Distributed tracing backend for BlumeOps infrastructure. Receives traces via OTLP, stores them locally, and generates RED metrics (rate, error, duration) for [[prometheus]].
|
|
|
|
## Quick Reference
|
|
|
|
| Property | Value |
|
|
|----------|-------|
|
|
| **URL** | https://tempo.ops.eblu.me (when Caddy route added) |
|
|
| **Tailscale URL** | https://tempo.tail8d86e.ts.net |
|
|
| **OTLP Endpoint** | https://tempo-otlp.tail8d86e.ts.net |
|
|
| **Namespace** | `monitoring` |
|
|
| **Image** | `registry.ops.eblu.me/blumeops/tempo:v2.10.3-75f9ba4` (locally built) |
|
|
| **Storage** | 10Gi PVC (local filesystem) |
|
|
| **Retention** | 7 days |
|
|
|
|
## Architecture
|
|
|
|
- Single-node deployment with local filesystem storage
|
|
- OTLP receivers: gRPC (4317) and HTTP (4318)
|
|
- `metrics_generator` produces span-metrics and service-graphs, remote-written to [[prometheus]]
|
|
- Queried via [[grafana]] Tempo datasource
|
|
- Two Tailscale Ingresses: one for query API (3200), one for OTLP HTTP receiver (4318)
|
|
|
|
## Trace Sources
|
|
|
|
**From ringtail (via Beyla eBPF in Alloy):**
|
|
|
|
| Service | Protocol | Coverage |
|
|
|---------|----------|----------|
|
|
| [[frigate]] | HTTP REST | Request rate, error rate, latency, trace spans |
|
|
| [[ntfy]] | HTTP | Same |
|
|
| [[ollama]] | HTTP REST | Same (model inference latency) |
|
|
| [[immich]] | HTTP REST | Same |
|
|
|
|
Beyla auto-instruments HTTP services via eBPF kernel hooks — no code changes needed.
|
|
|
|
**Future: SDK instrumentation**
|
|
Services with OTel SDK support (e.g., Hermes) can send traces directly to the OTLP endpoint for deeper internal spans (DB queries, business logic) alongside eBPF envelope traces.
|
|
|
|
## Storage Monitoring
|
|
|
|
Tempo exposes `tempodb_backend_bytes_total` via its `/metrics` endpoint (scraped by [[prometheus]]). To check storage utilization against the 10Gi PVC:
|
|
|
|
```promql
|
|
tempodb_backend_bytes_total / 10737418240 * 100
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Full PVC-level monitoring (via kubelet volume stats) is not yet available — see backlog.
|
|
|
|
## Grafana Integration
|
|
|
|
- **Tempo datasource** with trace-to-log and trace-to-metrics correlation
|
|
- **Service map** and **node graph** visualization
|
|
- **Loki derived fields** link trace IDs in logs back to Tempo
|
|
