You can query your distributed tracing data in several ways:
To learn about trace structure, see How distributed tracing works.
Example NRQL queries
Some example NRQL queries:
SELECT percentile(duration, 50, 95) FROM Span WHERE category = 'datastore'
and appName = 'YOUR_APP_NAME' SINCE 4 hours ago TIMESERIES 1 minute
SELECT average(duration) FROM Span WHERE appName = 'YOUR_APP_NAME'
and category = 'datastore' FACET host TIMESERIES 1 minute
SELECT average(duration) FROM Span WHERE appName = 'YOUR_APP_NAME'
and name = 'FUNCTION_NAME' FACET host TIMESERIES 1 minute
SELECT histogram(duration, 10, 60) FROM Span WHERE category = 'http'
and appName = 'YOUR_APP_NAME' FACET `http.url` SINCE 4 hours ago
SELECT average(duration) FROM Span WHERE category = 'http'
SINCE 4 hours ago FACET `http.url` TIMESERIES 1 minute
Example NerdGraph queries
You can also use NerdGraph to query your trace data using the API. For more information, see the NerdGraph distributed tracing data query examples.
