does jaeger provide a way of querying the trace data without using the UI provided. I'm aware that zipkin provides an API to directly access the trace data etc. Use-case: i'm trying to use the trace data to pull together a custom report for internal purposes. I could scrape the data from the UI but wondered if there was an easier way.
Your best chance is to get the data from whatever storage the Jaeger collector is using (Cassandra, Elastic.) (https://www.jaegertracing.io/docs/1.6/deployment/ )
My suggestion is to store in Elastic and use Kibana to accomplish what you need.
