Zipkin

Zipkin is a distributed tracing system. It helps gather timing data needed to troubleshoot latency problems in service architectures. Features include both the collection and lookup of this data.

Installation

Option 1: Quick start

Istio provides a basic sample installation to quickly get Zipkin up and running:

$ kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/istio/istio/release-1.24/samples/addons/extras/zipkin.yaml

This will deploy Zipkin into your cluster. This is intended for demonstration only, and is not tuned for performance or security.

Option 2: Customizable install

Consult the Zipkin documentation to get started. No special changes are needed for Zipkin to work with Istio.
