sleuth-zipkin-example

This project is an example implementation of distributed logging with Spring Cloud Sleuth and Zipkin.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Java 11
• Maven
• Docker

Running the example

1. Run docker-compose up in the project's root folder. This will pull the official Zipkin Docker image and run it in a Docker container. Once the container is up and running, the Zipkin server will be available under http://localhost:9411/zipkin
2. Open another new terminal from the project's root folder and cd order-service.
3. Run mvn spring-boot:run from the command line. This will start the order service under this URL: http://localhost:8080/
4. Open a new terminal from the project's root folder and cd customer-service.
5. Run mvn spring-boot:run from the command line. This will start the customer service under this URL: http://localhost:8081/
6. Open yet another terminal and execute this cURL command: curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/. This will yield this response: {"orderID":"1","customerID":"1"}

Now you should be able to search for distributed log traces under http://localhost:9411/zipkin.

These log traces will include Spring Cloud Sleuth trace IDs (for identifying an entire process) and span IDs (for identifying single steps in that process).

Running the build

Run mvn clean install from the command line.
