Requirements

No requirements are necessary.

Installation

  1. Installation using composer:
composer require mts88/laravel-zipkin
  1. And add the service provider in config/app.php:
Mts88\LaravelZipkin\Providers\LaravelZipkinServiceProvider::class
  1. You may also register an alias for the ZipkinService by adding the following to the alias array in config/app.php:
'Zipkin'       => Mts88\LaravelZipkin\Facades\Zipkin,

Configuration

Run the command below to publish the package config file config/zipkin.php:

php artisan vendor:publish

in your .env file define these parameters and set up your configuration:

ZIPKIN_HOST=http://localhost
ZIPKIN_PORT=9411

Automatic API tracing

The library offer an automatic tracing of request, in particular about your API. In order to use this automatic tracing you have:

  1. Insert the middleware in your app/Kernel.php where do you want automatic tracing. For example you can use in api block:
'api' => [
	'throttle:60,1',
	'bindings',
	// Others middleware
	\Mts88\LaravelZipkin\Middlewares\ZipkinRequestLogger::class,
],
  1. Each controller of Api must extends ZipkinBaseController (check BaseController):
class MyApiController extends ZipkinBaseController{
// My Api Methods
}

Usage

Dependency

You can easly access to ZipkinService by dependency injection. In your Controller you can access in this way:

use Mts88\LaravelZipkin\Services\ZipkinService;

class MyAwesomeController extends Controller{
	public  function  __construct(ZipkinService  $zipkinService)
	{
		// Do something with $zipkinService
	}
}

BaseController

If you want to automatize child span between controllers and methods, you can use ZipkinBaseController and foreach method called in Controller he create automatically a span for the current rootSpan instance. note: ZipkinBaseController doen't create rootSpan, so you have to create before methods are called. For example in middleware.

use Mts88\LaravelZipkin\Controllers\ZipkinBaseController;

class MyAwesomeController  extends  ZipkinBaseController {
	// My Awesome Methods
}

In this way you don't need to access to $zipkinService in __construct, but if you need to override it you have to call parent constructor:

use Mts88\LaravelZipkin\Services\ZipkinService;
use Mts88\LaravelZipkin\Controllers\ZipkinBaseController;

class MyAwesomeController extends ZipkinBaseController{

	public  function  __construct(ZipkinService  $zipkinService)
	{
		parent::__construct($zipkinService);
		// Do something with your override
	}
}

note: in your MyAwesomeController now you can access to ZipkinService with public variable of ZipkinBaseController :

	// zipkinService instance
	$this->zipkinService;	

Create trace and rootSpan

In order to create a rootSpan you can use this code

$this->zipkinService = new ZipkinService(); // or you can access in others way

// Create trace
$this->zipkinService->setTracer('my_trace_name', $request->ip());

$tags = [
	"my_value1" => "hello",
	"my_value2" => "world"
];

// Create RootSpan
$this->zipkinService->createRootSpan('root_span_of_request', $tags);

// Set Annotation
$this->zipkinService->setRootSpanAnnotation('my_annotation_1', \Zipkin\Timestamp\Timestamp\now());

// Dedicated Tags Methods
$this->zipkinService->setRootSpanMethod('GET') // Method of request
	->setRootSpanPath('/') // Path of request
	->setRootSpanStatusCode("200") // Response Code Server
	->setRootAuthUser(Auth::user()); // User that perform request
	
// Insert others tags
$this->setRootSpanTag('my_value3', "ciao")
	->setRootSpanTag('my_value4', "mondo");


// Close rootSpan and tracer
$this->zipkinService->closeSpan();

Child span

To create a child span:

// Create tracer
$tracing = $this->zipkinService->createTracing('child_span_tracing', $request->ip());
$tracer = $tracing->getTracer(); 

// Create Span
$span = $tracer->nextSpan($this->zipkinService->getRootSpanContext());
$span->annotate("Start", \Zipkin\Timestamp\Timestamp\now());
$span->setName('Child span method');
$span->start(\Zipkin\Timestamp\Timestamp\now());

// Create Tag for Child Span
$span->tag("my_tag_1", 'Hello');
$span->tag("my_tag_2", 'World');
// Make annotation
$span->annotate("End", \Zipkin\Timestamp\Timestamp\now());

// Close Span
$span->finish(\Zipkin\Timestamp\Timestamp\now());
$tracer->flush();
