Zipkin forwarder is a span forwarder service to ship spans between multiple data center. The main motivation behind this is to transport spans from cross data center and hybrid cloud setup and store them in a single place for analysis.
It collects spans via HTTP transport and accepts zipkin v1 and v2 JSON formats and forwards to different Zipkin Collectors
Limitations: It is designed to work as a proxy for spring cloud sleuth and other encodings will be supported if required
Clone the repository and run mvn clean spring-boot:run
Provide the configuration in the application.properties file
Current Status:
-
Supports AWS Kinesis as the middleware needs Zipkin Kinesis Collector to collect the spans
-
Supports Forwarding to Zipkin Http Collectors
-
Supports Forwarding to GCP Stackdriver
Future Work: Support for Zipkin-GCP pub/sub, Kafka, RabbitMQ and Zipkin-Azure
