# Zipkin Exporter Example
This is an example of how to use the Zipkin exporter.
The application in `main.cc` initializes an `ZipkinExporter` instance and uses
it to register a tracer provider from the [OpenTelemetry
SDK](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp). The application then
calls a `foo_library` which has been instrumented using the [OpenTelemetry
API](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/tree/main/api).
Resulting spans are exported to the Zipkin server using the Zipkin exporter.
Note that the Zipkin exporter connects to the server at `localhost:9411` by
default.
## Running Zipkin server locally
The quick way to run the Zipkin server is using Docker container :
``console
$ docker run -d -p 9411:9411 openzipkin/zipkin
``
## Running Zipkin example
Build this example using instructions in [INSTALL.md](../../INSTALL.md).
## Viewing the traces
Please visit the Zipkin UI endpoint `http://localhost:9411`
