Runs an HTTP server that listens for trace spans
and forwards them to SignalFx (or the configured ingest host in the writer
section of the agent config). This supports the same span formats that our
ingest server supports and at the same path (/v1/trace). By default, the
server listens on localhost port 9080 but can be configured to anything.
Monitor Type: trace-forwarder

Multiple Instances Allowed: No
| Config option | Required | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
listenAddress |
no | string |
The host:port on which to listen for spans. This server accepts spans in all of the formats that we support on our regular ingest server. The listening server accepts spans on the same HTTP path that ingest accepts them (e.g. /v1/trace). Requests to other paths will return 404s. (default: 127.0.0.1:9080) |
serverTimeout |
no | int64 |
HTTP timeout duration for both read and writes. This should be a duration string that is accepted by https://golang.org/pkg/time/#ParseDuration (default: 5s) |
sendInternalMetrics |
no | bool |
Whether to send internal metrics about the HTTP listener (default: false) |
