Hello! This is Takahashi (

- Waterfall view is now available in trace details
- Log list retrieval API is now available
- Hosts can now be searched by host metadata in global search
Waterfall view is now available in trace details
We have added a "Waterfall" view to the trace details screen. You can now easily switch between the new view and the traditional "Flame graph" using the tabs.
Since the start timing and overlapping processing times of each span are visualized in chronological order, you can intuitively identify performance bottlenecks and unusual delays. Selecting the optimal display format for your analysis will improve the efficiency of your troubleshooting and system investigations.
Log list retrieval API is now available
In conjunction with the Log feature currently available in beta, we have released a new API that allows you to programmatically retrieve logs matching specific conditions.
In addition to filtering by time period, keywords, and log levels, it also supports advanced searches specifying trace IDs or specific fields within structured logs (e.g., status code 500). This facilitates integration with various tools and external systems, and makes it easier to automate log collection via scripts — providing robust support for large-scale log analysis and rapid investigations during incidents.
For detailed specifications, please refer to the following help page:
Hosts can now be searched by host metadata in global search
In the host search function of the global search, you can now search by host metadata (hardware, OS, region, etc.) in addition to traditional hostnames.
Even if you don't remember the exact hostname, you can instantly narrow down your target using attribute information. This streamlines management tasks, investigations, and troubleshooting for specific groups in large-scale environments.
Please note that metadata search will be skipped if your search includes retired hosts, or if the number of active hosts exceeds the search limit.
