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_AUTH_HEADER - full HTTP header line (set for prod, empty for local)
#   Prod:  export VM_AUTH_HEADER="Authorization: Bearer <token>"
#   Local: export VM_AUTH_HEADER=""

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 use conditional auth:
