Viewing test logs in Jaeger
You can use the Jaeger UI to view the test logs of the tests or schedules that you run from the command-line interface to analyze traces of transactions between distributed services.
Before you begin
You must have completed the following tasks:
- Downloaded Jaeger components from the Jaeger website.
- Created a test or schedule to run it from the command-line interface. See Recording HTTP tests or Creating a VU Schedule.
About this task
While running tests or schedules by using the command-line interface, you must include the command -history jaeger in your test or schedule run. Adding the -history jaeger enables you to view the test log of the completed test or schedule from the Jaeger UI in a web browser.
Procedure
-
Run a test or schedule from the
command-line interface by adding the -history
jaeger option.
For example: cmdline.bat -workspace workspace_full_path -project proj_rel_path -suite suite_rel_path -stdout -history jaegerThe test or schedule runs and the result of the run is displayed.
-
Open the Jaeger UI in a browser.
For example: http://<host IP>:<port>.
- Select Rational Test Product from the Service list.
-
Click Find Traces.
In the Jaeger UI, you can view the entire test log of the test or schedule that you ran from the command-line.
What to do next
- You can use the Jaeger traces to analyze test results.
- You can compare the traces in the Jaeger UI with test logs in Rational® Performance Tester to confirm that they are the same.
