# 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.
