Advanced tools
OpenTelemetry Zipkin Exporter allows the user to send collected traces to Zipkin.
The @opentelemetry/exporter-zipkin package is designed for Node.js and web applications to export telemetry data to Zipkin, a distributed tracing system. It allows developers to monitor and troubleshoot their applications by collecting and reporting timing data needed to troubleshoot latency problems in microservice architectures. This package is part of the OpenTelemetry project, which provides a set of APIs, libraries, agents, and instrumentation to create and manage telemetry data (metrics, logs, and traces).
Exporting Traces to Zipkin
This code snippet demonstrates how to set up the ZipkinExporter with the OpenTelemetry Node.js SDK. It initializes a NodeTracerProvider, configures the ZipkinExporter with the service name and Zipkin server URL, and registers the exporter using a SimpleSpanProcessor.
{
const { ZipkinExporter } = require('@opentelemetry/exporter-zipkin');
const { SimpleSpanProcessor } = require('@opentelemetry/tracing');
const { NodeTracerProvider } = require('@opentelemetry/node');
const provider = new NodeTracerProvider();
const zipkinExporter = new ZipkinExporter({
serviceName: 'your-service-name',
url: 'http://localhost:9411/api/v2/spans'
});
provider.addSpanProcessor(new SimpleSpanProcessor(zipkinExporter));
provider.register();
}Similar to the Zipkin exporter, the Jaeger exporter allows exporting traces to Jaeger, another open-source, end-to-end distributed tracing system. It provides functionality to send telemetry data to a Jaeger backend, facilitating the monitoring and troubleshooting of microservices-based distributed systems. The choice between Zipkin and Jaeger often depends on the specific needs of the project and the existing infrastructure.
While not directly similar in terms of exporting traces, the Prometheus exporter is another telemetry data exporter that focuses on metrics. It allows exporting metrics data to a Prometheus monitoring system. This package is useful for users who are looking to monitor their application's performance and health through metrics rather than tracing data. It complements the functionality provided by the Zipkin exporter by offering a different aspect of telemetry data monitoring.
OpenTelemetry Zipkin Trace Exporter allows the user to send collected traces to 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.
npm install --save @opentelemetry/exporter-zipkin
Install the exporter on your application and pass the options, it must contain a service name.
const { ZipkinExporter } = require('@opentelemetry/exporter-zipkin');
// Add your zipkin url (`http://localhost:9411/api/v2/spans` is used as
// default) and application name to the Zipkin options
const options = {
url: 'your-zipkin-url',
serviceName: 'your-application-name'
}
const exporter = new ZipkinExporter(options);
Now, register the exporter and start tracing.
tracer.addSpanProcessor(new BatchSpanProcessor(exporter));
You can use built-in SimpleSpanProcessor or BatchSpanProcessor or write your own.
SpanProcessor that passes ended span directly to the configured SpanExporter.SpanProcessor that batches ended spans and pushes them to the configured SpanExporter. It is recommended to use this SpanProcessor for better performance and optimization.Please visit the Zipkin UI endpoint http://localhost:9411
