Monitor Adaptive Traces

Compare your trace data before and after enabling Adaptive Traces.

List of available metrics

Use these Grafana Cloud metrics in the grafanacloud-usage data source.

Ingest

These metrics help you monitor the rate of incoming trace data and the volume that is ultimately accepted for storage.

grafanacloud_traces_instance_adaptivetraces_bytes_received_per_second

Bytes received by Adaptive Traces (per second).

grafanacloud_traces_instance_bytes_received_per_second

Bytes received by Grafana Cloud Traces (per second).

grafanacloud_traces_instance_adaptivetraces_spans_received_total:rate5m

Spans received by Adaptive Traces (per second).

grafanacloud_traces_instance_spans_received_total:rate5m

Spans received by Grafana Cloud Traces (per second).

grafanacloud_traces_instance_adaptivetraces_discarded_spans_total:rate5m

Spans discarded by Adaptive Traces (per second).

Sampling decisions

These metric break down sampling outcomes by the specific policy that caused each trace to be either kept or dropped.

grafanacloud_traces_instance_adaptivetraces_global_sampled_traces_total:rate5m

Rate of traces sampled (per second).

grafanacloud_traces_instance_adaptivetraces_policy_sampled_traces_total:rate5m

Rate of traces sampled by policy (per second).

grafanacloud_traces_instance_adaptivetraces_policy_sampled_spans_total:rate5m

Rate of spans sampled by policy (per second).
