Hi Ed!
thanks for the great feedback. Your +1 for .NET is noted!
- Yes, we do plan to indicate span relationship in the UI.
- Browsing samples within buckets and/or filtering transactions with a Discover-like query bar is something we're working on.
- If this is related to Distributed Tracing, this is currently in development.
- We also do plan to show this reference in the UI.
- While the platform is pretty flexible in regards to the length of your transactions, we actually primarily focus on instrumenting shorter transaction (e.g. HTTP requests). What gave you the impression that the APM product is mainly targeted long running web services? 6) That's definitely possible. However, we are constantly improving the Kibana APM UI, so we hope and think it will suffice soon!
Again, thanks a lot for the valuable and very valid feedback!
best,
Rasmus Makwarth
Product Manager, APM
