is it possible to use transaction id to correlate app logs and Traces and metrics?? If yes, please share the settings to do so.

hey @viswa Can you share more details on what you mean by txn id? What is the use case you are trying to solve

Hi Pranay, Thanks for the reply. Below is the scenario. I am debugging an issue in my system. I am able to see the logs and traces. I would like to correlate the logs and traces of a request so that I can get deeper insights.

I see. So, you have a common id
transaction id
which you are able to see both in logs and traces and filter based on that
transaction id
, but there is no way to go from say seeing all logs related to a particular
transaction id
and then going to see corresponding traces? Is that the use case? So one thing you can potentially do is, to pass
trace id
also as a field in logs and then make it clickable as today - traceId can be directly clicked and accessed in SIgNoz.
@nitya-signoz is there a way to make traceId clickable in logs today?

As of now it’s not clickable. There is a feature on the roadmap which will allow users to click on a traceid in logs and move to the trace detail page. Vishal will be working on that.
