VictoriaTraces Query

Query VictoriaTraces Jaeger-compatible HTTP API directly via curl. Covers service/operation discovery, trace search, trace retrieval by ID, and dependency mapping.

Environment

# $VM_TRACES_URL - base URL including /select/jaeger prefix
#   Example: export VM_TRACES_URL="https://vtselect.example.com/select/jaeger"
# $VM_CURL_CONFIG - curl config file with auth header (set for remote, unset for local)
#   Remote: export VM_CURL_CONFIG="$HOME/.config/victoriametrics/curl.conf"
#   Local:  leave unset (defaults to /dev/null - no auth)

IMPORTANT: The Jaeger API lives under /select/jaeger/api/..., NOT root /api/.... The $VM_TRACES_URL env var already includes the /select/jaeger prefix, so all endpoints below use $VM_TRACES_URL/api/....

Auth Pattern

All curl commands load auth from a curl config file:
