send only info level logs to zipkin

Question

In the micro-services based architecture , I have a services which helps me to fetch order details .

Internally order details fetches - customer details , delivery details , product details . We have all services developed and the architecture is established.

No we export everything to zipkin with the sampler rate of 100%. So it includes - INFO level logs and error level logs also , currently it is useful but we already have separate mechanism for ERROR level logs.

so , i just want to skip the zipkin logging for ERROR level log and send only INFO level logs to zipkin

I tried searching through, but could not get any help, i am newbie to micro services

any help is appreciated , thank you

Answer 1

Zipkin is a solution for distributed tracing. Specifically it allows to track latency problems in distributed system. Also it's a greate tool for debugging/investigating problems in your application. So by definition it requires to collect successful and failed traces. However traces have nothing to do with logging.

Assuming you mean controlling the logging level of Zipkin server, then you can just set it using --logging.level.zipkin2=INFO .

Answer 2

I don't understand the problem. You don't send logs to Zipkin. You send spans to Zipkin. Zipkin has nothing to do with logs.
