Global Trace Search in New Relic One: A Better Way to Work with Custom Attributes
Blog post from New Relic
New Relic has introduced a new global trace search feature within its distributed tracing functionality, significantly enhancing the capability for software teams to identify and address performance issues in distributed systems. This innovation allows users to search for traces using custom attributes across multiple services without manual propagation, overcoming limitations of previous trace search tools that restricted searches to individual services. By enabling searches based on attributes such as customer IDs or error messages, regardless of where they originate, global trace search simplifies the process of finding relevant data in complex systems, thus improving efficiency and precision. Available to New Relic Pro customers, this feature is expected to make distributed tracing more valuable, as it provides access to comprehensive data attributes that were previously underutilized.
