# Accessing request traces
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If you have not yet installed the logging and monitoring components, go through
 | 
						|
the [installation instructions](./installing-logging-metrics-traces.md) to set
 | 
						|
up the necessary components.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
In order to access request traces, you use the Zipkin visualization tool.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1.  To open the Zipkin UI, enter the following command:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    ```shell
 | 
						|
    kubectl proxy
 | 
						|
    ```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    This command starts a local proxy of Zipkin on port 8001. For security
 | 
						|
    reasons, the Zipkin UI is exposed only within the cluster.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1.  Navigate to the
 | 
						|
    [Zipkin UI](http://localhost:8001/api/v1/namespaces/istio-system/services/zipkin:9411/proxy/zipkin/).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1.  Click "Find Traces" to see the latest traces. You can search for a trace ID
 | 
						|
    or look at traces of a specific application. Click on a trace to see a
 | 
						|
    detailed view of a specific call.
