+| `zipkin.endpointAddress` | string | Set the Zipkin server URL. If this is used, you do not need to specify the `otel` section.
 
 To enable tracing, use a configuration file (in self hosted mode) or a Kubernetes configuration object (in Kubernetes mode). For example, the following configuration object changes the sample rate to 1 (every span is sampled), and sends trace using OTEL protocol to the OTEL server at localhost:4317
