Action
Search Spans Analytics
Search and analyze span data with aggregations in datadog. this action uses the datadog spans analytics api to perform advanced queries and aggregations on trace span data. it's essential for: - analyzing error rates and latency patterns - understanding service dependencies and bottlenecks - root cause analysis during incidents - performance monitoring and optimization the api supports complex queries with grouping, filtering, and various aggregation functions similar to log analytics.
Why this helps
