Send an example span to a Zipkin service. These instructions expect you have docker-compose installed.
Bring up the zipkin-collector
service and example zipkin-client
service to send an example trace:
docker-compose up --detach zipkin-collector zipkin-client
The zipkin-client
service sends just one trace and exits. Retrieve the traceId
generated by the zipkin-client
service; should be the last line in the logs:
docker-compose logs --tail=1 zipkin-client
With the traceId
you can view the trace from the zipkin-collector
service UI hosted on port 9411
, e.g. with traceId
of f5695ba3b2ed00ea583fa4fa0badbeef
: http://localhost:9411/zipkin/traces/f5695ba3b2ed00ea583fa4fa0badbeef
Shut down the services when you are finished with the example:
docker-compose down
