Exports data to a Zipkin back-end. By default, this exporter requires TLS and offers queued retry capabilities.

Getting Started

The following settings are required:

  • endpoint (no default): URL to which the exporter is going to send Zipkin trace data. For example: http:https://localhost:9411/api/v2/spans.

The following settings are optional:

  • format (default = json): The format to sent events in. Can be set to json or proto.
  • default_service_name (default = <missing service name>): What to name services missing this information.

To use TLS, specify https:// as the protocol scheme in the URL passed to the endpoint property. See Advanced Configuration for more TLS options.

Example:

exporters:
  zipkin/nontls:
    endpoint: "http:https://some.url:9411/api/v2/spans"
    format: proto
    default_service_name: unknown-service

  zipkin/withtls:
    endpoint: "https://some.url:9411/api/v2/spans"

  zipkin/tlsnoverify:
    endpoint: "https://some.url:9411/api/v2/spans"
    tls:
      insecure_skip_verify: true

Advanced Configuration

Several helper files are leveraged to provide additional capabilities automatically:
