Hi @yurishkuro, I'd like to try this one, it seems a good opportunity to understand the zpage extension implementation.

@HongChenTW go for it. I temporarily created an internal extension in Jaeger as a workaround jaegertracing/jaeger#5986

Hi @yurishkuro , after digging into code, I found that I could register the expvar handler to expose the expvar pages at here, with some adjustments(declare the expvarz path variable, add port, on/off configs, etc.), but I'm not sure if I'm in the right path.

e.g. zPagesMux.Handle(path.Join("/debug", "expvarz"), expvar.Handler())

But I also noticed other components in zpages extention draw html pages like tracez or featurez, should I also design a html template to render the expvar, could you give some advises?

Thanks!

@HongChenTW I would start with just the default, out of the box expvar.Handler(). It returns JSON which is already pretty readable, and there are probably tools today that can scrape that format if someone needs it. I personally just used a browser plugin for JSON rendering so that I can expand/collapse some of the more complex structures supported by the expvar package.

Hello colleagues,
Is this issue suitable for newcomers who wish to familiarize oneself with this great OpenTelemetry project?

Yes

Hi, I'd like to work on it.

Hi @yurishkuro , could you help to check this PR #11217 if is mergeable?

I'm not sure whether the implementation is suitable for the requirements in this issue, also, since this PR was created few months ago, could you help to guide how to safely update the PR branch with the latest commit in main branch, I want to prevent to reference on the others' commits and show up the actions I made in their issues & PRs.

e.g.

Thanks!

yes, it looks like a good PR. It's easier to use the Merge button on GitHub to avoid pulling other commits. If you want to re-create, you could start a fresh branch from the current main and use git cherry-pick to select the commits you need from the old branch.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll create another branch.

Hello, is this issue free to take? Looks like it's already taken by looking at the comments, but nobody is assigned to this one 🤷
