Explore Traces

Explore Traces offers a queryless experience for easily surfacing insights from traces stored in Grafana Tempo, Grafana Cloud Traces, and Grafana Enterprise Traces.

Explore Traces helps you make sense of your tracing data so you can automatically visualize insights from your Tempo traces data. The app helps you understand errors and latency issues within complex distributed systems.

Using the app, you can:

Use Rate, Errors, and Duration (RED) metrics derived from traces to both identify and hone in on performance issues
Automatically compare sets of selected traces to identify anomalies
Visualize related issues and monitor changes over time, all without the complexity of TraceQL

This streamlined, intuitive approach helps teams respond to performance issues faster, even if they don’t have deep expertise in query languages.
