Seeing the database traces in the Zipkin UI

“

- [Instructor] Now that we have our database calls instrumented, let's take a look at how traces are produced in Zipkin. The first thing is I'll restage the app, because we made some changes to the code. So I'll stop the currently running backend instance. And again, I'll restart the app again. Okay, the app is running. Now I'm going to generate a request against the QueryDB endpoint. In the previous example, querying the API endpoint, and now we're just going to change that to querydb. Okay, the service executed, and now I'm going to search the Zipkin UI to see what that new trace looks like. And again, it takes a few seconds for the traces to propagate, so I'll give it a few moments. Okay, now notice there is a new trace, well actually, a couple of traces that contain our queries. So I can take a look here. So this is what the spam looks like. It contains, again, spam though is automatically created based on the query that we ran. So you can see actually the SQL query and so forth.
