Trigger

Action
Get Trace by ID
Get detailed information about a specific trace by its id. this action retrieves comprehensive details about a distributed trace, including all spans, timing information, errors, and metadata. it's essential for: - deep diving into specific request flows during incidents - understanding the complete journey of a problematic request - analyzing performance bottlenecks in detail - correlating errors across services - debugging complex distributed system issues the trace id is typically obtained from logs, error reports, or trace search results.
Why this helps
Trace IDs are often copied into a queue without anyone opening the trace while the issue is active.
- Open trace evidence immediately
- Summarize spans and errors
- Keep debugging context attached to the original report
