Distributed tracing is the process of
mapping and analyzing requests as they flow through a distributed system. Use the
following documentation to learn about how to interact with trace data in
Chronosphere Observability Platform.
Ingest
Observability Platform supports ingesting trace data with both the Chronosphere
Collector and the OpenTelemetry Collector. An added benefit of using the
OpenTelemetry Collector is configuring head sampling,
which is a powerful control mechanism for managing your tracing costs.
Query
Learn how to construct queries in Trace Explorer to search for traces and spans to
help identify, triage, and understand the root cause of problems. See the
features overview to learn more about the
capabilities that Trace Explorer provides.
Observe
Create standard dashboards query and
visualize log data queries. You can also
create alerts to watch time series data that’s
specified in a monitor query, and receive notifications when the query matches
specified logs.
Connect
Create links to related data from other parts of Observability Platform, such as
linking to logs from traces and linking to traces from dashboards.
Analyze
Analyze your trace data to gain insights, understand the value of your data
semantics, and highlight changes and their impacts. Use
differential diagnosis
to identify issues behind suspicious trends.
Control
Use the Chronosphere Trace Control Plane to narrow your focus to only a
representative sample of your data and drop everything else. Identify and evaluate
data, and then sample the overall dataset to eliminate waste, unnecessary noise, and
cost.
