Hey Basant,
It is really a helpful tutorial. You are doing a great job! Thanks!
However I've one question:
How does our client application know where is Zipkin server hosted to push the microservice trace details? Where exactly we do this configuration?

For example: we have a GUI (html) from where our execution reaches to controller method. From inside this method we are calling a microservice which internally calls another microservice and the aggregated data is pushed back to frontend. We added logs everywhere but where exactly we let our application know about the zipkin server to push the trace details.

At 23:25 why is the trace id and span id are different even though we call the same micro service

When and where you define payment service register or link with zipkin server/tool. So how zipkin knows there is service payment ...can you please explain sir ?

[rajeshch]

Hi sir,
where it is log files in zipkin Ui, suppose in production any exception occure how to see that Exception log files.

If we call external microservices ... Do we need to have a bean of alwayssampler in every external service we call or only in the parent service will be enough ?

Does only has DefaultSampler class . I dont find any other version has this class.

[i_am_kshitij]

When I changed the port number of zipkin server, traces were not getting added. No configuration was mentioned anywhere regarding port number . Could u plz tell is it mandatory to run on same default port of Zipkin server

[sarojsahoo]

So Both TraceId and Span ID are going to get matched against microservices (ex-If I have 2 microservices)

[shilpasingla]

Sir ...we will have trace I'd and span I'd different in case we are hitting same service again and again. Please correct me if any gap

[vijayvantipalli]

How does payment service recognise the zipping server without mentioning zipkin configuration anywhere in the service?

[i_am_kshitij]

And do you know how can we add span Id and trace Id to kafka consumer application which doesn't have any controller?

[rakeshmalhotra]

Can you please explain, if the Zipkin server application is mandatory to have? Can't we install Zipkin server separately on port 9411 as a Docker container and configure our Payment service application to post traces to that server?

Thanks for the video your videos helped me so much, but for this particular video, if you had created a parent mvn proj with two children both of them with only one end point you could show us in a more clear way what is traceId, spanId and parentId. Anyway thank you for your time!

[jaffarali]

I have followed your video but I have not receved any traceId and spanId these are null after and before hit to the service

[manishpeke]

Sir could you please do video on distributed tracing for kafka based consumer and producer application
