Trace correlations: instant context hops from any trace

Troubleshooting with traces just got a lot faster in Grafana Cloud. Trace correlations lets you configure custom, context-aware links straight into every span in the trace view. With a single click, you can now jump from a trace to:

  • Logs filtered by the same trace or service fields
  • Metrics focused on the exact service, endpoint, or error condition
  • Profiles for CPU, memory, or heap snapshots tied to a span
  • Dashboards, runbooks, tickets, or any external URL that enriches your workflow

All it takes is a quick rule in Correlations. Simply define which span or trace fields to use as variables, point to your target, and watch contextual links appear in the Explore trace view.

Available today for all Grafana Cloud stacks running Grafana Cloud Traces.
