viewTraceInfo

viewTraceInfo(traceId, [isTreeView=true])

traceId is a STRING indicating the ID of a trace. Get the trace ID of a script with getTraces.

isTreeView is a Boolean indicating whether to display the tracing information in tree view. The default value is true. Otherwise, the information is displayed in plain list.

Display the tracing information of a trace. Return a table with the following columns:

• [when isTreeView = true] tree: the execution process of the script in tree structure where each tree node is a span (the primary building block of a distributed trace, representing an individual unit of work done in a distributed system).

• [when isTreeView = false] name: the name of the spans of the trace.

• startTime: the timestamp (in nanoseconds) at which the span execution started.

• timeElapsed: the duration of the span execution in miliseconds

• reference: the relationship between the current span and its parent span. There are three types of references:

  • Root: the root node of the trace. It indicates that the server received the client request. Rood node does not have a parent.

  • ChildOf: indicates that the parent span depends on the result of the current span. This reference type indicates that the current span is executed synchronously.

  • FollowsFrom: indicates that the current span merely follows from its parent span in a causal sense and the parent span does not depend on the result of its child. This reference type indicates that the child span is executed asynchronously (e.g., added to a queue for execution, network requests, etc.).

  • node: the alias of the node on which the span is executed.
