Application Observability service inventory

The service inventory page lists all the services that are sending distributed traces to Grafana Cloud. Use the inventory page to filter services and navigate to:

  • The Service overview page for each service
  • The Service map to see a service graph

Like other Application Observability pages, the service inventory page has a header with a title, sub-tabs to navigate to, and an action bar to change the data source and time-related filters and refresh intervals.

The header on the service inventory page also includes a filters editor to filter the visible services.
