I'm investigating an issue we are having with Kamon tracing and Zipkin;
Following the recommended documentation we have set
kamon.trace.join-remote-parents-with-same-span-id = yes
in our configuration since we are using Zipkin.
But it seems that multiple servers are annotating / reusing the same spanId now in resulting in strange unwanted behaviour and having the following span in Zipkin.
Here is a JSON data snapshot of it:
