zipkin-go-opentracing
OpenTracing bridge for the native Zipkin tracing implementation Zipkin Go.
Notes
This package is a simple bridge to allow OpenTracing API consumers
to use Zipkin as their tracing backend. For details on how to work with spans
and traces we suggest looking at the documentation and README from the
OpenTracing API.
For developers interested in adding Zipkin tracing to their Go services we
suggest looking at Go kit which is an excellent toolkit to
instrument your distributed system with Zipkin and much more with clean
separation of domains like transport, middleware / instrumentation and
business logic.
Examples
Please check the zipkin-go package for information how to set-up the Zipkin Go native tracer. Once set-up you can simple call the Wrap function to create the OpenTracing compatible bridge.

// create our local service endpoint
endpoint, err := zipkin.NewEndpoint("myService", "myservice.mydomain.com:80")
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("unable to create local endpoint: %+v\n", err)
}
// initialize our tracer
nativeTracer, err := zipkin.NewTracer(reporter, zipkin.WithLocalEndpoint(endpoint))
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("unable to create tracer: %+v\n", err)
}
// use zipkin-go-opentracing to wrap our tracer
tracer := zipkinot.Wrap(nativeTracer)
// optionally set as Global OpenTracing tracer instance
opentracing.SetGlobalTracer(tracer)
}
// do other bootstrapping stuff...
}
