This receiver receives spans from Zipkin (V1 and V2).

Getting Started

All that is required to enable the Zipkin receiver is to include it in the receiver definitions.

receivers:
  zipkin:

The following settings are configurable:

• endpoint (default = localhost:9411): host:port on which the receiver is going to receive data.You can temporarily disable the component.UseLocalHostAsDefaultHost feature gate to change this to 0.0.0.0:9411. This feature gate will be removed in a future release. For full list of ServerConfig refer here.
• parse_string_tags (default = false): if enabled, the receiver will attempt to parse string tags/binary annotations into int/bool/float.

Advanced Configuration

Several helper files are leveraged to provide additional capabilities automatically:

• HTTP server settings including CORS
• TLS and mTLS settings
