Hi all, I'd like to ask about zipkin with grafana dashboard.
I installed zipkin with grafana using official docker-compose (but storage is elasticsearch. because when I use mysql, an access error happens. es doesn't happen)
https://github.com/openzipkin-attic/docker-zipkin#elasticsearch
By the way, I am using zipkin for collecting graphQL execution time with nodejs application. (using opentelemetry library such as HttpInstrumentation, ExpressInstrumentation and GraphQLInstrumentation)
And I'd like to show which graphQL queries are slow on some graphical chart.
I try to use prometheus metrics explorers below with the grafana dashboard.
zipkin_collector_messages_total
zipkin_collector_bytes_total
zipkin_collector_spans_total
zipkin_collector_spans_dropped_total
zipkin_collector_messages_dropped_totalBut it looks like they can't filter any metrics tags on grafana dashboard ... (because in terms of above controller, we can only use 'instance, job, transport' labels)
Could we do that by prometheus metrics explorers? Or, for filtering by metrics, should we use data storage (such as elastic search, mysql, etc) on grafana dashboard?
Thank you so much.

Hi all, sorry for asking again.
I changed my strategy. Actually, zipkin + Grafana dashboard is not suitable for my requirements.
I switched to using elasticsearch storage with zipkin and I'd like to show Kibana Visualize(dashboard) for showing tracing information.
By the way, how is "tags" index enabled for the Visualize field?
As far as I know, we have two approaches. 1: query indexing 2: template index.
However, we can filter by tags ( https://github.com/openzipkin/zipkin/tree/master/zipkin-storage/elasticsearch#query-indexing ) but '_q' doesn't appear in the field.
And it looks like we can use the template index approach. (https://github.com/openzipkin/zipkin-support/issues/46#issuecomment-742872992)
I tried to fetch it. But I don't get any template index.
$ curl -s 'localhost:9200/_index_template'
{"index_templates":[]}My environment:
official docker compose yaml of zipkin
official docker compose yaml of elasticsearch7 (openzipkin/zipkin-elasticsearch7) (version 7.9.3)
oss Kibana image (docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana-oss:7.9.3) (version 7.9.3)
Hi. I’ve been working on an open source project called Kronicle that includes an integration with Zipkin. Here’s some info in case any is interested.
It combines dependency data from Zipkin with dependencies defined in YAML to render an interactive architecture diagram with filters: https://demo.kronicle.tech/all-components/dependencies
It uses Zipkin traces to render “call graphs”: https://demo.kronicle.tech/components/kronicle-service/call-graphs
It uses Zipkin traces to calculate response times: https://demo.kronicle.tech/components/kronicle-service/response-times
Kronicle uses Zipkin’s Get Traces API endpoint rather than Zipkin’s Get Dependencies API endpoint, as the data from the Get Traces endpoint is much richer.
There’s more info available on https://kronicle.tech
Context is single developer local desktop using containers. Right now we have OpenTelemetry data streaming to zipkin. Following the Zipkin quickstart we are here:
:: version 2.23.4 :: commit 3827477 ::2021-10-20 21:07:13.735 INFO [/] 1 --- [oss-http-*:9411] c.l.a.s.Server : Serving HTTP at /[0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0%0]:9411 - http://127.0.0.1:9411/
Terminating due to java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap spaceAs best we can tell this might be (but we really aren't sure):

We appreciate any hints or tips.

Hello, again. I got the following errors when I tried to build a local docker image (on an amd64 machine):

If you want to send data to ZIpkin you need to add
spring-cloud-sleuth-zipkin, check the docs for a full example: https://docs.spring.io/spring-cloud-sleuth/docs/current/reference/htmlsingle/#how-to-set-up-sleuth-with-brave-zipkin-http

Hello people !
We're going to use zipkin, and we're wondering which backend to choose between cassandra and elasticsearch. I couldn't find much information detailed for zipkin's usage, are there some guidelines somewhere to help us with this choice ? pros and cons, performances or whatever
cheers !

Hello, apologies if it's a stupid question, but we've instrumented a chain of services such as A -> POST -> B -> POST -> C. My tracing json contains details for this chained call, but on the Zipking UI I can only see the calls from A -> B.
Would be correct to expect that call B -> C should be shown on the same zipkin screen, as a child node of service A?
