v2.19.0Observability
Jun 3, 2026

v2.19.0 ships the new /api/v3/trace-summaries endpoint and migrates the UI search to use it, plus TLS for ClickHouse and a configurable gRPC max message size.

  • breakingUI search migration to /api/v3/trace-summaries requires compatible backend

    The UI now exclusively uses /api/v3/trace-summaries for search results. If you run a custom or older storage backend via the gRPC storage plugin, it must implement the SummaryReader interface or the fallback full-trace aggregation path kicks in. Verify your storage plugin supports this before upgrading. If you pin the UI separately from the backend, do not upgrade the UI to this version without also upgrading the backend to v2.19.0.

  • breakingRename query.num_traces to query.search_depth in any API v3 clients

    Any scripts, dashboards, or integrations that pass query.num_traces to the v3 API will still work via the deprecated alias, but you should migrate to query.search_depth now. The deprecated alias will eventually be removed. Also check for snake_case HTTP query params — camelCase is now the canonical form, with snake_case kept as deprecated aliases.

  • enhancementSet max_recv_msg_size_mib if you see gRPC message size errors in remote storage

    Teams using the gRPC remote storage plugin with large traces often hit the default gRPC message size cap. The new max_recv_msg_size_mib config option on the gRPC storage client lets you raise this limit explicitly. If you've been seeing 'received message larger than max' errors from your storage backend, configure this value in your Jaeger deployment config to fix it without workarounds.

  • enhancementEnable TLS for ClickHouse storage in production

    The ClickHouse storage plugin now supports TLS configuration. If you're running ClickHouse as a Jaeger backend in any environment where the connection crosses a network boundary, configure TLS now rather than relying on network-level controls alone.

Key changes (6)

  • UI search now calls /api/v3/trace-summaries instead of fetching full traces — this is a breaking UI change requiring a backend that supports the new endpoint
  • New GET /api/v3/trace-summaries HTTP endpoint and matching gRPC FindTraceSummaries handler for lightweight search results without full trace payloads
  • query.num_traces renamed to query.search_depth in API v3; old name kept as deprecated alias — update any tooling or scripts using the old parameter
  • ClickHouse storage plugin now supports TLS configuration
  • gRPC storage client gains max_recv_msg_size_mib config to handle large trace payloads that previously hit message size limits
  • Elasticsearch index templates now include missing scope and link fields — existing indices may need reindexing
