Zipkin Server with RSocket Collector

Let Zipkin server to receive spans by RSocket Protocol.

Why RSocket

• Faster: Async and NoAck(Fire and Forget)
• Easy to integrate with Reactive System

How to start Zipkin Server with Docker

version: "3"
services:
  zipkin:
    image: linuxchina/zipkin-rsocket-server
    ports:
      - "9411:9411"
      - "42252:42252"

How to use it in Spring Boot

If you use "org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-zipkin" and it's easy.

• Include "zipkin-sender-rsocket" dependency as following

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
      <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-zipkin</artifactId>
      <version>2.2.8.RELEASE</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.mvnsearch</groupId>
      <artifactId>zipkin-sender-rsocket</artifactId>
      <version>2.12.1</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

• Add following configuration in your application.properties

spring.autoconfigure.exclude=org.springframework.cloud.sleuth.zipkin2.ZipkinBackwardsCompatibilityAutoConfiguration
spring.zipkin.base-url=tcp://127.0.0.1:42252
spring.zipkin.encoder=proto3
spring.sleuth.sampler.rate=10

• Create RSocket and Zipkin Sender beans

    @Bean
    public RSocket rsocket(@Value("${spring.zipkin.base-url}") String zipkinBaseUrl) {
        return RSocketFactory
                .connect()
                .dataMimeType("application/vnd.google.protobuf")
                .transport(UriTransportRegistry.clientForUri(zipkinBaseUrl))
                .start()
                .block();
    }

    @Bean(ZipkinAutoConfiguration.SENDER_BEAN_NAME)
    public Sender zipkinRSocketSender(RSocket rsocket) {
        return new RSocketSender(rsocket);
    }
