02/23/2023, 7:04 PM@Timothy Wigginton By analysing the data I think this span records an external span and span kind is client.
More details on opentelemetry spec: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/blob/main/specification/trace/api.md#spankind
We are not recording this as normal http method and instead store it as external http method and thus not showing in the table.
Please create an issue in public repo we will investigate it further and fix it.

02/23/2023, 7:07 PMokay I can do that, do you think changing the span kind will resolve the issue?
Timothy Wigginton
02/23/2023, 7:23 PMBy changing the spankind to Internal it works correctly

Vishal Sharma
02/24/2023, 4:25 AMYes @Timothy Wigginton
Did you manually instrument the app? Or using auto instrumentation?

02/24/2023, 4:20 PMOk, you don’t need to change spanKind.
We will merge a fix on this soon. (Here’s the PR: https://github.com/SigNoz/signoz-otel-collector/pull/105)
For now you can change the spankind.
