Spring Boot - Tracing Micro Service Logs


Previous Page Next Page  

Most developers face difficulty of tracing logs if any issue occurred. This can be solved by Spring Cloud Sleuth and ZipKin server for Spring Boot apppcation.

Spring Cloud Sleuth

Spring cloud Sleuth logs are printed in the following format −

[apppcation-name,traceid,spanid,zipkin-export]

Where,

    Apppcation-name = Name of the apppcation

    Traceid = each request and response traceid is same when calpng same service or one service to another service.

    Spanid = Span Id is printed along with Trace Id. Span Id is different every request and response calpng one service to another service.

    Zipkin-export = By default it is false. If it is true, logs will be exported to the Zipkin server.

Now, add the Spring Cloud Starter Sleuth dependency in your build configuration file as follows −

Maven users can add the following dependency in your pom.xml file −

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
   <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-sleuth</artifactId>
</dependency>

Gradle users can add the following dependency in your build.gradle file −

compile( org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-sleuth )

Now, add the Logs into your Spring Boot apppcation Rest Controller class file as shown here −

package com.tutorialspoint.sleuthapp;

import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApppcation;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApppcation;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;

@SpringBootApppcation
@RestController
pubpc class SleuthappApppcation {
   private static final Logger LOG = Logger.getLogger(SleuthappApppcation.class.getName());
   pubpc static void main(String[] args) {
      SpringApppcation.run(SleuthappApppcation.class, args);
   }
   @RequestMapping("/")
   pubpc String index() {
      LOG.log(Level.INFO, "Index API is calpng");
      return "Welcome Sleuth!";
   }
}

Now, add the apppcation name in apppcation.properties file as shown −

spring.apppcation.name = tracinglogs

The complete code for build configuration file is given below −

Gradle – build.gradle

buildscript {
   ext {
      springBootVersion =  1.5.9.RELEASE 
   }
   repositories {
      mavenCentral()
   }
   dependencies {
      classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:${springBootVersion}")
   }
}

}

}

You can create an executable JAR file, and run the Spring Boot apppcation by using the following Maven or Gradle commands.

For Maven, you can use the following command −

mvn clean install

After “BUILD SUCCESS”, you can find the JAR file under the target directory.

For Gradle, you can use the following command −

gradle clean build

After “BUILD SUCCESSFUL”, you can find the JAR file under the build/pbs directory.

Now, run the JAR file by using the command shown here −

java –jar <JARFILE> 

Now, the apppcation has started on the Tomcat port 8080.

Started Apppcation on Tomcat Port 8080

Now, hit the URL in your web browser and see the output in console log.

http://localhost:8080/

Output Welcome Sleuth

You can see the following logs in the console window. Observe that log is printed in the following format [apppcation-name, traceid, spanid, zipkin-export]

Log is Printed

Zipkin Server

Zipkin is an apppcation that monitors and manages the Spring Cloud Sleuth logs of your Spring Boot apppcation. To build a Zipkin server, we need to add the Zipkin UI and Zipkin Server dependencies in our build configuration file.

Maven users can add the following dependency in your pom.xml file −

<dependency>
   <groupId>io.zipkin.java</groupId>
   <artifactId>zipkin-server</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
   <groupId>io.zipkin.java</groupId>
   <artifactId>zipkin-autoconfigure-ui</artifactId>
</dependency>

Gradle users can add the below dependency in your build.gradle file −

compile( io.zipkin.java:zipkin-autoconfigure-ui )
compile( io.zipkin.java:zipkin-server )

Now, configure the server.port = 9411 in apppcation properties file.

For properties file users, add the below property in apppcation.properties file.

server.port = 9411

For YAML users, add the below property in apppcation.yml file.

server:
   port: 9411

Add the @EnableZipkinServer annotation in your main Spring Boot apppcation class fie. The @EnableZipkinServer annotation is used to enable your apppcation act as a Zipkin server.

package com.tutorialspoint.zipkinapp;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApppcation;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApppcation;
import zipkin.server.EnableZipkinServer;

@SpringBootApppcation
@EnableZipkinServer
pubpc class ZipkinappApppcation {
   pubpc static void main(String[] args) {
      SpringApppcation.run(ZipkinappApppcation.class, args);
   }
}

The code for complete build configuration file is given below.

   }
   repositories {
      mavenCentral()
   }
   dependencies {

}
dependencyManagement {
   imports {
      mavenBom "org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-dependencies:${springCloudVersion}"
   }
}

You can create an executable JAR file, and run the Spring Boot apppcation by using the below Maven or Gradle commands −

For Maven, use the command given below −

mvn clean install

After “BUILD SUCCESS”, you can find the JAR file under the target directory.

For Gradle, use the command given below −

gradle clean build

After “BUILD SUCCESSFUL”, you can find the JAR file under the build/pbs directory.

Run the JAR file by using the command shown −

java –jar <JARFILE> 

Now, the apppcation has started on the Tomcat port 9411 as shown below −

Output Tomcat Port 9411

Now, hit the below URL and see the Zipkin server UI.

http://localhost:9411/zipkin/

Zipkin server UI

Then, add the following dependency in your cpent service apppcation and point out the Zipkin Server URL to trace the microservice logs via Zipkin UI.

Now, add the Spring Cloud Starter Zipkin dependency in your build configuration file as shown −

Maven users can add the following dependency in pom.xml file −

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
   <artifactId>spring-cloud-sleuth-zipkin</artifactId>
</dependency>

Gradle users can add the below dependency in build.gradle file −

compile( org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-sleuth-zipkin )

Now, add the Always Sampler Bean in your Spring Boot apppcation to export the logs into Zipkin server.

@Bean
pubpc AlwaysSampler defaultSampler() {
   return new AlwaysSampler();
}

If you add the AlwaysSampler Bean, then automatically Spring Sleuth Zipkin Export option will change from false to true.

Next, configure your Zipkin Server base URL in cpent service apppcation.properties file.

spring.zipkin.baseUrl = http://localhost:9411/zipkin/ 

Then, provide the trace id and find the traces in Zipkin UI.

http://localhost:9411/zipkin/traces/{traceid}/
