Tracing Oracle Helidon Application with Zipkin

  Hello Folks,

Today I'm sharing my learning on "Tracing Helidon Application with Zipkin".
Tracing is a easy concept where where we can trace our application request-responses.

Step 1:

Add maven dependencies.

<dependency>

<groupId>io.helidon.microprofile.tracing</groupId>

<artifactId>helidon-microprofile-tracing</artifactId>

</dependency>

<dependency>

<groupId>io.helidon.tracing</groupId>

<artifactId>helidon-tracing-zipkin</artifactId>

</dependency>

Step 2:

add one statement in microprofile-config.properties

tracing.service=first-app

Step 3:

Fire a http request on your browser or Postman to get to application registered on zipkin.

Step 4:

open browser with http://localhost:9411/

select the drop-down "service name"

thank you :)
