You might find these article helpful: http://callistaenterprise.se/blogg/teknik/2017/07/29/building-microservices-part-7-distributed-tracing/ http://callistaenterprise.se/blogg/teknik/2017/09/13/building-microservices-part-8-logging-with-ELK/ These cover log event collection for both ELK and Zipkin. Parts 1-6 in the series are really good as well if you want to know more about microservices and security in general with the Spring and Netflix OSS stack. Originally came across it while looking for OAuth material. Cheers, Ole
