Sending Traces to Zipkin

Using the CLI

If you create your project using the Micronaut CLI, supply the tracing-zipkin feature to include Zipkin tracing in your project:

  1. $ mn create-app my-app —features tracing-zipkin

To send tracing spans to Zipkin, the minimal configuration requires the following dependencies in your build:

Adding Zipkin Dependencies

  1. runtime 'io.zipkin.brave:brave-instrumentation-http'
  2. runtime 'io.zipkin.reporter2:zipkin-reporter'
  3. compile 'io.opentracing.brave:brave-opentracing'

Then enable ZipKin tracing in your configuration (potentially only your production configuration):

application.yml

  1. tracing:
  2.   zipkin:
  3.     enabled: true
