I have the following problem: i need to send traces to Zipkin via Kafka using Sleuth. Based on what i read in the documentation(https://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-static/Edgware.SR3/single/spring-cloud.html#_sleuth_with_zipkin_via_rabbitmq_or_kafka) all i need to do is to add spring-kafka dependency:

<dependency> 
       <groupId>org.springframework.amqp</groupId>
       <artifactId>spring-rabbit</artifactId>
</dependency>

But i can't really see there to which kafka bootstrap server should i send or to which topic(is there some default topic that i should know about?).

Your example here is using RabbitMQ, not Kafka... You can refer to https://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-static/Edgware.SR3/single/spring-cloud.html#_apache_kafka_binder to configure Kafka – OneCricketeer Sep 25 '18 at 19:48
using Kafka would mean: org.springframework.amqp spring-rabbit – Charles Sep 26 '18 at 12:49
No... `spring-rabbit` won't be able to send data to Kafka, only RabbitMq – OneCricketeer Sep 26 '18 at 12:52
my bad: spring-kafka, but i think that the idea is clear :) – Charles Sep 26 '18 at 13:33
Yup :) so now, have you use Spring Kafka before? Have you read that link I sent about how to configure it? There's no defaults that you're asking about – OneCricketeer Sep 26 '18 at 13:40
