OpenTracingRust Zipkin

Usage

Once your Cargo.toml includes a dependency on opentracingrust_zipkin create a tracer and a collector and initialise the system:

```rust extern crate opentracingrust; extern crate opentracingrust_zipkin;

use opentracingrust::utils::GlobalTracer; use opentracingrust::utils::ReporterThread;

use opentracingrustzipkin::ZipkinTracer; use opentracingrustzipkin::KafkaCollector;

fn main() { let (tracer, receiver) = ZipkinTracer::new(); GlobalTracer::init(tracer);

let collector = KafkaCollector::new("localhost:9092");
let reporter = ReporterThread::new(move |span| {
    collector.collect(span).unwrap();
});

} ```

Thrift

This crate uses thrift to send messages to Zipkin and for the bynary encoding.

The thift-generated rust modules are checked into source control so that the crate can be compiled without having to install a rust-enabled thrift compiler.

This crate comes with a Dockerfile that installs and configures thrift with rust support. The commands below can be used to re-generate the rust code from thrift definitions:

bash cd thrift/ docker build --rm --tag thrift-compiler . docker run --rm -it -v $PWD:/thrift/models -v $PWD/../src:/thrift/src thrift-compiler bash thrift -r --out /thrift/src/thrift_gen --gen rs /thrift/models/binary_format.thrift thrift -r --out /thrift/src/thrift_gen --gen rs /thrift/models/zipkinCore.thrift

Docker Zipkin Playground

To play around with the tracer and aid development you can run a zipkin-in-a-box with docker and docker-compose.

The following steps are for use with the provided docker scripts:

git clone https://github.com/openzipkin/docker-zipkin.git
Update the KAFKA_ADVERTISED_HOST_NAME:
1. Set it to kafka-zookeeper to make all containers properly work with each other.
2. Edit docker-zipkin/docker-compose-kafka10.yml at line 15.
3. New line should be KAFKA_ADVERTISED_HOST_NAME=kafka-zookeeper.
If you want to access kafka from outside the docker-compose hosts (likely so):
1. Find the IP of the kafka-zookeeper container.
2. Edit /etc/hosts.
3. Add <IP> kafka-zookeeper.
Start all the zipkin processes: docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose-kafka10.yml -f docker-compose-ui.yml up
