#Overview
This application provides the Zipkin Server that provides UI for the Zipkin distributed tracing.
When we enable tracing on the applications, they send the tracing data (timing, components called etc) to the Zipkin server so that we can visualize it.
##Pre-requisites
- config server - For pulling the configuration information
- Build the application by running the
./gradlew clean build
gradle command at the "webservice-registry" project root folder on the terminal. - If you want to run the application as jar file, then run
java -jar build/libs/basic-zipkin-server-0.0.1.jar
command at the terminal.
Please refer to user webservice for details on how the external configuration works. Note that there is separate configuration file for each Spring application; the application should refer to it's own .yml file for configuration.
