Learn how to implement Probabilistic Sampling in Jaeger to reduce storage costs and network load while maintaining a representative sample of your distributed traces.
Stop losing critical error traces to random sampling. Learn how to implement Jaeger tail-based sampling to capture 100% of failures and latency outliers while controlling storage costs.
Stop overloading your storage with redundant traces. Learn how to use Jaeger's probabilistic sampling to maintain system visibility while drastically reducing observability overhead.
In a high-throughput service, intermittent connection pool exhaustion produces rare stalls that are difficult to capture without overwhelming the Jaeger backend. Constant sampling at a high probability guarantees those rare traces are recorded, but the fixed overhead adds predictable network and storage cost. Adaptive sampling protects the collector by tunin
