Performance at scale

Unlike other tracing tools, Grafana Traces does not index the traces which makes it possible to store orders of magnitude more trace data for the same cost, and removes the need for sampling.

Stores orders of magnitude more trace data for the same cost, and removes the need for sampling.
Reduces the TCO by an order of magnitude and makes the system overall much easier to use.

Integrated with your tools; correlated with your metadata

Pivot seamlessly between metrics, logs, and traces. You can, for example, leverage your existing logs to find the trace you care about.

Enables jumping between different data sources and different data types.
Accepts trace spans in multiple formats including Jaeger, OpenTelemetry, and Zipkin.

A powerful and flexible query language

Grafana Logs uses a similar label format and query language to Prometheus, making it easier to learn and faster to switch between metrics and logs when diagnosing an issue.

Query logs with the same syntax used for querying metrics
Write log queries that allow you to dynamically filter and transform your log lines
Easily calculate metrics from your logs, like the rate of errors or top K sources with the highest log volume
Minimal indexing at ingest time means you can slice and dice your logs dynamically at query time to answer new questions as they arise
