Everything about the selected span, on the right of the Trace Explorer list and the Trace Detail view. This gets Updated when selected spans.
Data source: sampled spans (single‑span fetch).
Sections
- Status — error badge if failed, latency, and the count of events (e.g. exceptions).
- General properties — service, operation, Span ID, Trace ID, Parent Span ID, start/end times.
- Related resources — links to the span’s infrastructure — Kubernetes pod, node, resource — with an action menu to open the Resource, its Alerts, its Logs, or eBPF insights, plus Copy Link.
- Attributes — the span’s custom key/value attributes from your instrumentation.
Difference between Attributes and events- attributes describe the span and events are timestamped points within it (commonly exceptions).
How to use it
- Confirm the error and read the events for the exception type/message.
- Use Attributes to capture request parameters, IDs, region, etc.
- From Related resources, moves to the pod’s Logs/Alerts; Copy Link to hand off the exact span.
