jaeger-collection in cpu load only one pod, second pod is idle

[osipovdaniil]

Hi! I have jaeger version 1.20.0, jaeger-agent as daemonset, jaeger-collector has 2 replicas
I see that the jaeger-collector under load only one pod, second pod is idle.
I want see uniform load on jaeger-collector pods.

---

First pod jaeger-collector

Second pod jaeger-collector

Any ideas? Why is that?

How are you configuring the agent? You should be using the round-robin balancer, with the DNS protocol, pointing to a headless service backed by collector pods. This way, the agent will properly balance the requests to all IPs discovered during an initial query to the A record of the DNS entry.

Note that scaling up collectors won't have an effect until the agent is restarted. See #1678 for more details.

I use service clusterIP for collector.
I will try use headless-service for that. Thank's!
