Httpclient and Zipkin Java - java

My and project team are looking to add Zipkin logging and tracing to our current project. We are working in an microservice environment using Spring Boot (Java 17) and cloud foundery. For the communication between Microservices we are using HttpClient. From what I've gathered from the documentation Zipkin requires an RestTemplate to function. However we don't have time to change this.
We were able to implement Zipkin in every individual project. However, every call generates their own Trace ID. I think we need to configure the HttpClient to work in tandem with Zipkin, however the documentation is not very clear and I have been unable to find anything that explains how to do this.
What can I try on this? I've included the config and dependencies below.
spring:
application:
name: Application_1
zipkin:
baseUrl: http://localhost:9411
sleuth:
sampler:
probability: 1.0
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-sleuth-zipkin</artifactId>
<version>3.1.3</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-sleuth</artifactId>
<version>3.1.3</version>
</dependency>

Access configuration file mentioned in spring boot application.properties after creating the .jar for App engine deployment

I am facing big trouble in deploying a spring boot application in GCP AppEngine with cloud Postgres as a database. Earlier I was using tcp connection jdbc with IP whitelisting to access the database, which worked fine during testing but after deploying into Appengine it didn't warmed up due to sslsocket timed out. So after a bit of digging, I found for standard appengine runtime to connect a cloud Postgres I have to use postgres socket factory
<dependency>
<groupId>com.google.cloud.sql</groupId>
<artifactId>postgres-socket-factory</artifactId>
<version>1.2.2</version>
</dependency>
with
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:postgresql:///{REDACT}?cloudSqlInstance={REDACT}&socketFactory=com.google.cloud.sql.postgres.SocketFactory&user={REDACT}&password={REDACT} in application.properties.
But GCP needs to verify the connection from the key generated from the service account with specific privileges which has been added to the application.properties.
spring.cloud.gcp.credentials.location=classpath:gcloud.json
But in java the built jar file can't access the json, nor the deployed appengine instance.
Here's the error
[Screenshot error in App engine][1]
app.yaml
runtime: java11
pom.xml
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-gcp-starter-sql-postgresql</artifactId>
<version>1.2.7.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.postgresql</groupId>
<artifactId>postgresql</artifactId>
<version>42.2.19</version>
<scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.google.cloud.sql</groupId>
<artifactId>postgres-socket-factory</artifactId>
<version>1.2.2</version>
</dependency>
Any reply would be of great help. Thanks

With App Engine you don't need to use a service account key file. You can rely on the metadata server that provides automatically App Engine service account credential. Service account is not customizable for now, but should change in 2021! It name is the following: <projectID>#appspot.gserviceaccount.com
Be sure that this service account has enough Cloud SQL permissions (by default, it has Editor role on the project, and have enough (and even too much!!) permissions)
So, use the Cloud SQL App Engine connector in the app.yaml file to set up the connection with Cloud SQL and open a socket (to connect with socket factory) in your code

Spring Webflux 2.5.x + Spring Cloud + Zipkin: Not able to get Zipkin metrics

Small question regarding Spring Webflux project, with Spring Cloud please.
In my small Spring Webflux app, I am currently using
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-sleuth</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-sleuth-zipkin</artifactId>
</dependency>
I see the traces fine in m Zipkin server, very happy.
But I was also expecting to be able to get some metrics, such as
zipkin_collector_messages_total
zipkin_collector_bytes_total
zipkin_collector_spans_total
zipkin_collector_spans_dropped_total
zipkin_collector_messages_dropped_total
histogram_quantile(0.9, http_server_requests_seconds_bucket{method="POST",uri="/api/v2/spans"})
However, while I am seeing the traces in Zipkin server, and "some" zipkin metrics, such as zipkin_reporter_spans_total I am not getting Zipkin related metrics at all.
May I ask how to get above mentioned metrics please?
Thank you

How does shareSecurityContext work in Spring Cloud with Hystrix?

I’m learning how Spring Cloud works and using one of most popular technical stacks for it: Eureka, Zuul, Hystrix, Ribbon, Feign. Except of registry, config server and gateway my services have the following dependencies with Spring Cloud version 2.2.1.RELEASE:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-config</artifactId>
<version>${spring-cloud.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-client</artifactId>
<version>${spring-cloud.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-sleuth</artifactId>
<version>${spring-cloud.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-openfeign</artifactId>
<version>${spring-cloud.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-netflix-hystrix</artifactId>
<version>${spring-cloud.version}</version>
</dependency>
I do authorization with JWT on gateway and want to use the same Authorization object on other services. Obvious way for doing it is to transfer my JWT with a header but I’ve read in docs that Hystrix can propagate the whole security context with just one property hystrix.shareSecurityContext=true. I’ve tried to do it with Feign Client and Zuul, but SecurityContext on requested service contains just anonymousUser.
I spent two days for understanding how it works but I didn’t. In logs of Feign I don’t see any headers with something like Principal.
So here is my question: is it possible to transfer security context with Zuul and Feign if second service runs in other docker container or on other server? If not what is the best praxis for transferring data about authorized user?
Thanks!
It has been 8 months since you posted the question but I will answer it anyways.
As you know, services are distributed in nature and so they may not share the JVM or even they may not be developed in java at all. The purpose of JWT token is to secure such distributed services so whatever communication happens between them regarding Security, happens through authorization header only. In authorization header one service passes the JWT Token (bearer only) to other service and that service validates the token , reads information from it, and so on.
The hystrix.shareContext has another purpose however. In Spring when the application context is created, by default it doesn't pass it to Hystrix Thread. To make it available to Hystrix, this property is set to true which essentially changes concurrency strategy of hystrix. So, it is passing Security context to "Hystrix's thread" which is part of the same service and not other service.
Hope this solves your query.

Is it necessary to add Spring Web when using Spring Actuator?

I'm trying to in corporate Spring Actuator to my application. I have added the dependency in my pom.xml:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-actuator</artifactId>
<version>1.4.2.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
But I get a 404 when trying to access the /health endpoint. After looking online, I've read that I need to also have the spring-boot-starter-web dependency in my POM. I was under the assumption that I only need the actuator dependency in order to get it working
Yes web is needed if you want to access via HTTP (otherwise only JMX is available).
The documentation for actuator states
"Click Dependencies and select Spring Web and Spring Boot Actuator."

Camel AMQP - AMQConnectionFactory ClassNotFound

I'm using Camel 2.13.3 and trying to establish a connection via AMQP to a remote ActiveMQ instance.
According to the Camel AMQP docs is should be sufficient to add the following dependency
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
<artifactId>camel-amqp</artifactId>
<version>2.13.1</version>
</dependency>
It then indicates that you should configure the jms component to use a connection factory supplied by the QPID project. The docs page uses org.apache.qpid.amqp_1_0.jms.impl.ConnectionFactoryImpl, and the results of other google searches indicate that org.apache.qpid.client.AMQConnectionFactory could be used.
However, the org.apache.qpid dependencies do not appear to have been added to the project and, unsurprisingly, I get a ClassNotFoundException when I run it.
I considered downloading the qpid dependency separately, but their web site seems to indicate that the qpid client project has been deprecated and replaced by something else ( QPID Messaging API if I remember correctly )
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
should be sufficient
The Camel docs you linked to does not state that. It just says this dependency is needed, doesn't say anything about additional dependencies. Just looked inside the jar you're using, and it does not contain qpid-client classes. You should add that dependency to your pom as well. For AMQP 0.x, there is a good chance you'll need JMS spec dependency as well:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.qpid</groupId>
<artifactId>qpid-client</artifactId>
<version>0.32</version> <!-- replace with appropriate version -->
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.geronimo.specs</groupId>
<artifactId>geronimo-jms_1.1_spec</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
</dependency>
If you're using AMQP 1.0,
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.qpid</groupId>
<artifactId>qpid-jms-client</artifactId>
<version>0.3.0</version>
</dependency>
