unable to see 'dependencies' inside zipkin UI dependencies tab

Question

I am using opentelemetry java agent to send the traces from a java application to zipkin and i am able to see all the traces as expected. But when I click on "Dependencies" tab in zipkin UI, i dont see any dependency metrics on it. Can someone please tell me why i am not able see them? Does it require any additional plugins or agents?

Answer 1

I'm not familiar with open telemetry java agent, so I don't know if it includes this, but for the standalone zipkin, there is a separate project called zipkin-dependencies that you need for dependency data. You can find the github here: zipkin-dependencies
