Running a Zipkin Server
There are 3 parts to Zipkin:
- the instrumented client apps
- the backend database (defaults to in-memory db)
- the Zipkin server
Zipkin Services
Run the Zipkin (remember to have RabbitMQ running) by
either running Spring Boot Maven plugin:
./mvnw spring-boot:run --projects spring-cloud-sleuth-samples/spring-cloud-sleuth-sample-zipkin-stream
or running the packaged app from the root:
./mvnw package --projects spring-cloud-sleuth-samples/spring-cloud-sleuth-sample-zipkin-stream
java -jar spring-cloud-sleuth-samples/spring-cloud-sleuth-sample-zipkin-stream/target/spring-cloud-sleuth-sample-zipkin-stream-1.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT-exec.jar
and test it
$ curl localhost:9411/api/v1/services
["zipkin-query"]
Instrumenting Apps
Depend on Spring Cloud Sleuth Stream and the
rabbit binder (spring-cloud-starter-stream-rabbit).
Once the apps start publishing spans they will appear in the span store as well.
Running in an IDE
You can run this app in an IDE and still use docker-compose to create the middleware:
$ docker-compose up rabbitmq
