Zipkin library for Go

This library focus is to provide maximum flexibility for creating Zipkin traces inside the distributed application. The library presumes the user is familiar with basic Zipkin concepts like annotations, spans, services, etc. Zipkin spans are composed in a stateless fashion. It is up to you how to manage span entities inside the application. Kafka is used as a transport to transfer the completed spans to Zipkin collector.

Quickstart

// ...
import (
    "github.com/elodina/go-zipkin"
)

rate := 10 // tracing rate 1 of 10
brokerAddr := []string{"master:5000"} // Kafka broker endpoint

producer, err := zipkin.DefaultProducer(brokerAddr) if err != nil {
//...
}

tracer := zipkin.NewTracer("ServiceName", rate, producer, zipkin.LocalNetworkIP(), zipkin.DefaultPort(), zipkin.DefaultTopic())

//...
span := tracer.NewSpan("span_name")
span.ServerReceive()
// do work here
span.ServerSendAndCollect()
//...
