This tutorial shows you how to setup and configure Zipkin

Zipkin is a distributed tracing system. It helps gather timing data needed to troubleshoot latency problems in microservice architectures.

It manages both the collection and lookup of this data. Zipkin's design is based on the Google Dapper paper.

Requirements:

• Docker, if you don't already have it, you can learn How to install Docker

We'll get the Zipkin Docker image from https://hub.docker.com/u/openzipkin/

by

docker pull openzipkin/zipkin

docker run -d -p 9411:9411 openzipkin/zipkin

and now the Zipkin user interface can be opened in your web browser by visiting http://localhost:9411
