prerequistes:
docker run -d -p 9411:9411 -p 9410:9410 openzipkin/zipkin
running the examples:
sbt examples/run
then choose 1 for http example or 2 for streaming example
The http example will bind to port 8080. point your browesr to localhost:8080/frontend in order to initiate a request.
Getting Started:
The main advantage of using this library is that it eliminates the need for manual calls for logs and lets you focus on the right things, when things break you will still have a clear view into your applications, you can always add anontations later.
The first part of integrating the library is adding a config file, here's a basic example:
htrace{
span.receiver.classes = org.apache.htrace.impl.ZipkinSpanReceiver
sampler.classes = org.apache.htrace.core.AlwaysSampler
zipkin.scribe.hostname = "localhost"
This example tells htrace to use the zipkin receiver, samples all traces and points htrace to localhost as the span server.
if you are using akka-http you are done, if this is a akka-streams applications add this call before your call to run:
val s = StreamTracer.tracer.newScope("compute")
and close the scope after the call to run
s.close()
this method is shown in here https://github.com/FindHotel/akka-stream-trace/blob/master/modules/examples/src/main/scala/BasicStreamExample.scala
