ScribeCollector

This collector accepts Scribe logs in a specified category. Each log entry is expected to contain a single span, which is TBinaryProtocol big-endian, then base64 encoded. These spans are then pushed to storage.

zipkin2.collector.scribe.ScribeCollector.Builder includes defaults that will listen on port 9410, accept log entries in the category "zipkin"

Encoding

The scribe message is a TBinaryProtocol big-endian, then Base64 span. Base64 Basic and MIME schemes are supported.

Here's what it looks like in pseudocode

serialized = writeTBinaryProtocol(span)
encoded = base64(serialized)

scribe.log(category = "zipkin", message = encoded)
