Usage

  1. Install the extension, either via Chrome Web Store, or build it manually from source.

Opening 1

  1. Open Chrome and go to a web site, right-click -> Inspect. This will open Chrome developer tools.

Opening 2

  1. A panel appears, called Zipkin. Choose it.

Add Zipkin endpoint

  1. Here, you'll need to configure the URL to your Zipkin UI/query server.

Once you've provided a URL, Chrome will attempt to contact that server, and "auto-discover" its configuration. You can configure multiple Zipkin endpoints if you want to; e.g. one for your development environment, and one for production. In this example case, we specified there's a Zipkin UI running on http://localhost:9411, which probably isn't what you will have in an actual environment; only if you're running the Zipkin server locally. Usually, it would be set to something like http://zipkin.mysite.com/.

Show traces

  1. Use your application and generate traces While you navigate around, Chrome will add Zipkin trace headers to all HTTP requests. In the Zipkin extension, you can click on a generated trace ID to take you directly to the Zipkin UI, displaying that trace.
