Span metrics¶
FusionReactor has several new Span Metrics dashboards which provide detailed insight into specific parts of a distributed trace through the use of spans. Spans are essentially small pieces of time that represent a specific operation or action within a larger process or transaction.
Measuring span duration and status codes allows developers to quickly identify bottlenecks and problem areas in their application's distributed architecture.
With the ability to view 90th and 99th percentile span duration, developers can easily determine areas that need improvement and take action to optimize performance. This new capability is a powerful tool for improving application performance and providing better visibility into distributed architectures.
