It integrates with opentelemetry-api and opentelemetry-sdk to capture and forward traces from your application to a Jaeger backend for visualization and analysis.\n\nHowever, the package is deprecated: Jaeger has supported OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP) natively since v1.35, and this Thrift exporter reached end-of-support in July 2023. The package is no longer being tested and has not been released since November 2023. New projects should use the OTLP exporter instead; this package is suitable only for maintaining legacy Jaeger deployments that still require Thrift protocol support.","worth_installing":"No, unless you are maintaining a legacy Jaeger deployment that requires Thrift protocol support. The package is deprecated, no longer tested, and reached end-of-support in July 2023. New projects should use the OTLP exporter instead. For existing deployments, evaluate whether upgrading to Jaeger v1.35+ and switching to OTLP is feasible before adopting this package."},"id":"opentelemetry-exporter-jaeger-thrift","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/opentelemetry-exporter-jaeger-thrift","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/opentelemetry-exporter-jaeger-thrift.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/opentelemetry-exporter-jaeger-thrift/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-11-07","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"opentelemetry-exporter-jaeger-thrift","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Jaeger Thrift Exporter for OpenTelemetry"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":610584,"position":5764,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.21.0"}
