Getting error while starting zipkin server : Prometheus requires that all meters with the same name have the same set of tag keys

Question

We have slueth in other microservices and we wants to send data to zipkin server for consolidated logging.I am trying to start my zipkin server.I am getting the following error:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Prometheus requires that all meters with the same name have the same set of tag keys. There is already an existing meter named 'http_server_requests_seconds' containing tag keys [exception, method, status, uri]. The meter you are attempting to register has keys [method, status, uri].

I tried to use the sleuth and zipkin older versions, but getting conflicts and spring application is failing to start We are not able to see Zipkin UI. And pom.xml is like:

Any suggestions will be helpful.

Thanks @marcin-grzejszczak. We have added spring-cloud-starter-sleuth and spring-cloud-starter-zipkin dependencies in our project. what else we need to do? to add slueth in classpath — implosivesilence, Jul 24 '20 at 14:10
Please read the documentation https://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-static/spring-cloud-sleuth/2.2.3.RELEASE/reference/html/ and check reference samples https://github.com/spring-cloud-samples/sleuth-documentation-apps/ — Marcin Grzejszczak, Jul 24 '20 at 14:11
There is no need to build a custom zipkin server: https://zipkin.io/pages/quickstart.html — Brian Devins-Suresh, Jul 24 '20 at 14:38

You should create application.properties file and after that you should add the following

Your application.properties :

server.port:9411 // Not Required
management.metrics.web.server.auto-time-requests=false //Required

Your main class :

import zipkin.server.EnableZipkinServer;

@EnableZipkinServer
@SpringBootApplication
public class ZipkinServerApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(ZipkinServerApplication.class, args);

    }

}

Your Pom.xml :

    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

Your zipkin port :
