Configuration of Application Perspective spanning over multiple custom tag filter criteria in End-to-End view

Configuration of Application Perspective spanning over multiple custom tag filter criteria in End-to-End view

We need
urgently a way to build application perspective views based on discrete call tags that arise at various points in service hierarchy either up- oder downstream.


Business example: Call Trace of customer request, e.g. business or privat customer request incoming from web frontend resulting in several sub-calls created, which have the annotations searched for in one or more places downstream, e.g. result of payment risk value.

Some is already possibile in analytics but we need application perspective, SLO , smart alerting based on this feature

Idea priority Urgent

    Hi, I tried today another UC with call tags: Call tag 'A' ist set in Service 'A', call tag 'B' ist set in another Service 'B'. Wjat I wanted is to get a view on all traces with calls with call tag 'A' and call tag 'B'.
    I did not succeed either with application perspective nor with analytic query ...

    currently it is not possible to built app. perspectives over multiples criterias bound to multiple services for immediate or all downstream configurations.
    @MartinFuentes Please see email send today with sample.

    Hi Christian!
    Many thanks for the additional use cases! It's really helpful!
    Our next step is to understand the size of the work, we will plan this task in our roadmap and keep you updated. It's a useful addition to the product!

    Hi Martin,
    additional UCs where this feature would be very useful:
    - Impact Analysis of version changes of services up- or downstream affecting performance (latency, error rate, call volume etc.)
    - building more elaborated kpi's in custom dashboards e.g. for functional / business metrics cross domains

    - support of blue / green deployment monitoring
    - leverage of functional testing in integration and acceptance test

    - detection of 'hot spots' customer requests journey
    => in general leverage of application perspectives fields of application

    Thanks for following up on this. Would be really helpful in adhoc analytics, too
    Best Regards,
    Christian

    Hi Christian!

    We are discussing the Idea with the team as it is interesting and would be a good addition to the product.

    Are there other use cases that you are planning to cover similar to the Business example that you shared aboved?
