Traces UI in Elastic APM
Elastic Cloud Serverless projects are autoscaled environments, fully managed by Elastic and available on Elastic Cloud. Availability This functionality is generally available and ready for production usage. Serverless interfaces and procedures might differ from classic Elastic Stack deployments. The Elastic Stack includes Elastic's core products such as Elasticsearch, Kibana, Logstash, and Beats. Availability This functionality is generally available and ready for production usage. Unless stated otherwise on the page, this functionality is available when your Elastic Stack is deployed on Elastic Cloud Hosted, Elastic Cloud Enterprise, Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes, and self-managed environments. This documentation corresponds to the latest patch available for each minor version. If you're not using the latest patch, check the release notes for changes.

Traces link together related transactions to show an end-to-end performance of how a request was served and which services were part of it. In addition to the Traces overview, you can view your application traces in the trace sample timeline waterfall.
Traces displays your application’s entry (root) transactions. Transactions with the same name are grouped together and only shown once in this table. If you’re using distributed tracing, this view is key to finding the critical paths within your application.
By default, transactions are sorted by Impact. Impact helps show the most used and slowest endpoints in your service — in other words, it’s the collective amount of pain a specific endpoint is causing your users. If there’s a particular endpoint you’re worried about, select it to view its transaction details.
You can also use queries to filter and search the transactions shown on this page. Note that only properties available on root transactions are searchable. For example, you can’t search for label.tier: 'high', as that field is only available on non-root transactions.

You can still use it, but it'll be removed in a future Elastic Stack update. This functionality is in technical preview and is ready for evaluation. Use with caution in production; it is not recommended for mission-critical workloads. Elastic will work to fix any issues, but features in technical preview are not subject to the support SLA of official GA features. Specific Support terms apply.

Trace explorer is an experimental top-level search tool that allows you to query your traces using Kibana Query Language (KQL) or Event Query Language (EQL).
Curate your own custom queries, or use the Service Map to find and select edges to automatically generate queries based on your selection:
