Grafana Traces Drilldown
Distributed traces provide a way to monitor applications by tracking requests across services. Traces record the details of a request to help understand why an issue is or was happening.Grafana Traces Drilldown helps you visualize insights from your Tempo traces data. Using the app, you can:
- Use Rate, Errors, and Duration (RED) metrics derived from traces to investigate issues
- Uncover related issues and monitor changes over time
- Browse automatic visualizations of your data based on its characteristics
- Do all of this without writing TraceQL queries
Grafana Learning Paths provide a clear, structured path that leads you from beginner concepts to advanced use cases. Learn about this Grafana feature on Explore traces using Traces Drilldown.
You can use the Drilldown apps to explore your telemetry data. Refer to Telemetry signal workflows to explore workflows across all the Drilldown apps.
Who is Traces Drilldown for?
Traces Drilldown is for engineers of all levels of operational expertise. You no longer need to be an SRE wizard to get value from your traces.
Traditionally, you’d need a deep understanding of your systems and the tracing query language, TraceQL, to get the most out of your tracing data.
With Traces Drilldown, you get the same powerful insights, by viewing and clicking in visualizations which are automatically generated from your tracing data.
