Traefik Zipkin Documentation	Traefik supports several tracing backends, including Zipkin. Learn how to implement it for observability in Traefik Proxy. Read the technical documentation.

Zipkin

To enable the Zipkin tracer:

tracing:
  zipkin: {}

[tracing]
  [tracing.zipkin]

--tracing.zipkin=true

httpEndpoint

Required, Default="http://localhost:9411/api/v2/spans"

HTTP endpoint used to send data.

tracing:
  zipkin:
    httpEndpoint: http://localhost:9411/api/v2/spans

[tracing]
  [tracing.zipkin]
    httpEndpoint = "http://localhost:9411/api/v2/spans"

--tracing.zipkin.httpEndpoint=http://localhost:9411/api/v2/spans

sameSpan

Optional, Default=false

Uses SameSpan RPC style traces.

tracing:
  zipkin:
    sameSpan: true

[tracing]
  [tracing.zipkin]
    sameSpan = true

--tracing.zipkin.sameSpan=true

id128Bit

Optional, Default=true

Uses 128 bits trace IDs.

tracing:
  zipkin:
    id128Bit: false

[tracing]
  [tracing.zipkin]
    id128Bit = false

--tracing.zipkin.id128Bit=false

sampleRate

Required, Default=1.0

The proportion of requests to trace, specified between 0.0 and 1.0.

tracing:
  zipkin:
    sampleRate: 0.2

[tracing]
  [tracing.zipkin]
    sampleRate = 0.2

--tracing.zipkin.sampleRate=0.2
