Zipkin

In addition to the built-in runtime.task_history SQL table, Spice can export the observability traces it collects into Zipkin.

Enabling Zipkin Export

Zipkin export is defined in the spicepod.yaml under the runtime.tracing section:

runtime:
  tracing:
    zipkin_enabled: true
    zipkin_endpoint: http://localhost:9411/api/v2/spans

• zipkin_enabled: Optional. Default false. Enables or disables the Zipkin trace export.
• zipkin_endpoint: Required if zipkin_enabled is true. The path to the /api/v2/spans endpoint on the Zipkin instance to export to.
