These guides help you manage and sample trace volume, correlate traces with logs, protect sensitive data, derive span fields, and link spans across async workflows.
Control Traces Volume
Drop unwanted spans to reduce costs and noise
Tail Sampling
Sample traces at the collector by status, latency, span name, and more
PII Scrubbing
Remove sensitive data from traces before ingestion
Correlate Traces and Logs
Link traces with logs for unified debugging
Span Links
Connect causally related spans across async and batch workflows
Calculated Fields in Spans
Derive ready-to-query fields from OpenTelemetry span attributes
