Trace Operator Docs Needs Clarification/Improvement #10025
Description
I was reading through the trace operator docs and trying to use it. It turns out from reading the trace operator code logic in the signoz repo, that for all these operators the result it returns is the left hand side span.
For example:
-
A => B: Returns spans from A that are direct parents of spans matching B.
-
A && B: Returns spans from A that are in traces that also contain spans matching B.
Regardless of the operator, the result is the left hand side (in these cases it is spans satisfying A). This is not obvious or explicitly stated in the trace operator docs. Filing this to make it more clear for readers in the docs and blogs:
