 To easily run and view tracing locally, first, install jaeger. The easiest way to do this is to [download the binaries](https://www.jaegertracing.io/download/) and then run the `jaeger-all-in-one` binary. This will start up jaeger, listen for spans on `localhost:6831`, and expose a web UI for viewing traces on `http://localhost:16686/`.
 
-Now, to start sending traces from Lotus to Jaeger, set the environment variable `LOTUS_JAEGER` to `localhost:6831`, and start the `lotus daemon`.
+Now, to start sending traces from Lotus to Jaeger, set the environment variable and start the daemon.
+
+```bash
+export LOTUS_JAEGER_AGENT_ENDPOINT=127.0.0.1:6831
+lotus daemon
+```
+
+Alternatively, the agent endpoint can also be configured by a pair of environemnt variables to provide the host and port. The following snipit is functionally equivilent to the previous.
+
+```bash
+export LOTUS_JAEGER_AGENT_HOST=127.0.0.1
+export LOTUS_JAEGER_AGENT_PORT=6831
+lotus daemon
+```
 
 Now, to view any generated traces, open up `http://localhost:16686/` in your browser.
