Observasaurus: Spans

A Span represents some bit of work done by some part of some service, and it contains metadata describing what work it did, how long it took, and what resources were involved in the execution of that work. Related spans are brought together in a Trace. For instance, a trace might represent a series of related transactions from login to browse to purchase on a storefront. The login transaction might be a single Span in that Trace.

To work with Spans and Traces, see Trace Explorer.
