+# Exporting traces to Jaeger
+
+This example shows how to export spans to Jaeger agent using OTLPExporter.
+
+## Usage
+
+Launch the example app with Jaeger running in background via docker:
+
+```shell
+
+# Run jaeger in background with native OTLP Ingestion
+$ docker run -d -p16686:16686 -p4317:4317 -e COLLECTOR_OTLP_ENABLED=true jaegertracing/all-in-one:latest
+
+# Run the app
+$ cargo run
+
+# View spans
+$ firefox http://localhost:16686/
+```
