Why is this needed:
We have a table visualization where we filter based on Span fields/attributes and added a link that opens the trace tree in the Traces visualization.
However if the Trace contains multiple spans with the same SpanName, it is hard to figure out which one is the one we originally clicked. The current workaround is to use the span search function, paste the SpanId and it will be highlighted in the tree.
What would you like to be added:
We set up our links in the Traces query config using a variable for the TraceId to be shown. We would like to have something like a "FocusSpanId" in the Traces query config that allows also to define which span to highlight based on a variable.
That way we can have links from the table which directly go to the specific span in the Trace view, just like when using the "deep link to the span" feature.
Who is this feature for?
Anyone doing troubleshooting using traces.
