# Abstract
* An open source Large-Scale Distributed Systems Tracing Infrastructure, also known a ditributed tracer.
* Based on [Google Dapper Paper: Dapper, a Large-Scale Distributed Systems Tracing Infrastructure](http://research.google.com/pubs/pub36356.html), [read Simplified Chinese Version](http://duanple.blog.163.com/blog/static/70971767201329113141336/)
* Support popular rpc frameworks, such as [dubbo](https://github.com/alibaba/dubbo), [dubbox](https://github.com/dangdangdotcom/dubbox), [motan](https://github.com/weibocom/motan) etc., trigger email-alert when application occurs unexpected exception。
* Easy to deploy, **even in product mode** (since 2.0) . No need of Hadoop, HBase, or Cassandra Cluster.
* Pure Java server implements. provide gRPC (since 2.0)  and HTTP (since 2.1) cross-platform spans collecting service.

# v2.0-2016 Quick Start

## 1. Required of third party softwares
- JDK 1.6+ ( instruments applications can run in jdk6 )
- JDK 1.8 ( skywalking servers )
- zookeeper 3.4.6
- mysql
- redis-3.0.5

## 2. Download and deploy servers
- Download Server release version. [Download](https://github.com/wu-sheng/sky-walking/releases)  (.tar.gz)

### 2.1 Run all servers in a Docker
- Docker version include all-in-one servers.
- Suitable for quick-look or test env. High performance and Scalable are not your requirements.

### 2.2 Deploy your own cluster
- waiting for release.

## 3. Download agent
[ ![Download](https://api.bintray.com/packages/wu-sheng/skywalking/com.a.eye.skywalking-agent/images/download.svg) ](https://bintray.com/wu-sheng/skywalking/com.a.eye.skywalking-agent/_latestVersion)

## 4. Create users, applications and alarm rules in webui
- create user, remember your username.
- create applications under the user, remember your application code.
- create alarm rules for each applications.

## 4. Start application with -javaagent
```shell
java -jar ...  -javaagent:/..ospath../skywalking-agent-x.x.jar -Dusername=x -DapplicationCode=y -Dservers=192.168.1.16:3300,192.168.1.17:3300
```

## 5. Aha, your applications are being instrumented

# Recent RoadMap
* [In the schedule] v2.1-2017
	* release a version following OpenTracing.io
	* provide bridge mode lib to integrate data of system and tracer
	* provide English doc as default. Also provide Chinese version on Gitbook or Wiki
	* support log framework(log4j, log4j2, logback) to output traceid in system log.
	
* [Dev] v2.0-2016
	* not dependency on Hadoop or HBase, easy to deploy or maintenance
	* support simple-cluster mode
	* support docker mode in single-server-instance
	* support more plugins
		* motan rpc framework (provided)
