Home UI

Home displays multiple views:

  • Traces: Populated for tracing datasets.
  • Logs: Populated for log datasets.
  • Explore Data: Populated for all datasets.

Traces View 

The Traces view contains data visualizations that can help you explore data for tracing datasets. To learn more about what makes a dataset a tracing dataset, visit Common Issues with Visualization.

Visualizations 

The Traces view contains the following data visualizations for the selected time range:

  • Total Traces: Total number of distinct traces or requests that have been sent.
  • Total Spans with Errors: Total number of spans with errors.
  • 95th Percentile Latency: 95th-percentile latency of traces or requests that have been sent.

Recent Traces 

If you have sent traces into your dataset, the Recent Traces view displays the five traces with the most recent root spans for the selected service.

Logs View 

The Logs view contains data visualizations that can help you explore data for log datasets. To learn more about what makes a dataset a log dataset, visit Common Issues with Visualization.

Visualizations 

The Logs view contains the following data visualizations for the selected time range:

  • Total Logs: Displays the total number of logs received within the selected time range.

  • Total Errors: Displays the total number of logs that contain error or fatal severities within the selected time range.

  • Total Warnings: Displays the total number of logs with warn severities within the selected time range.

  • Logs by Severity: Displays the percent of logs by severity levels within the selected time range. Only standard severities, which include fatal, error, warn, info, trace, debug, and unspecified, are distinctly represented. Other, non-standard severities are bucketed into an Other group.

    Tip
  • Log Volume: Displays a line graph of the log volume within the selected time range.

  • Total Events by Severity: Displays the volume of logs, grouped by severity, within the selected time range. Select the table icon or chart icon to switch between displaying this data as a table or line graph.

    Note
    Non-standard severities are also displayed in this chart.
  • Top Messages: Displays the most frequently occurring log messages within the selected time range. Select the table icon or chart icon to switch between displaying this data as a table or line graph.

  • Total Errors by Severity: Displays the volume of logs where severity is error or fatal, grouped by severity, for the selected time range. Select the table icon or chart icon to switch between displaying this data as a table or line graph.

  • Top Errors: Displays the most frequently occurring errors within the selected time range. Select the table icon or chart icon to switch between displaying this data as a table or line graph.
