How can I prevent Istio from sending trace spans to ZipKin? 100

If you already have tracing enabled, you can disable it as follows:

{{< text plain >}}

Fill with the namespace of your istio mesh.Ex: istio-system

TRACING_POD=kubectl get po -n <istio namespace> | grep istio-tracing | awk {print $1} $ kubectl delete pod $TRACING_POD -n $ kubectl delete services tracing zipkin -n

Remove reference of zipkin url from mixer deployment

$ kubectl -n istio-system edit deployment istio-telemetry

Now, manually remove instances of trace_zipkin_url from the file and save it.

{{< /text >}}

Then follow the steps of the cleanup section of the Distributed Tracing task.

If you dont want tracing functionality at all, then disable tracing in istio-demo.yaml or istio-demo-auth.yaml or dont enable it when installing Istio.
