Now that we can query logs on discover, why can't we associate traceid with logs?

For example, when I find an exception under APM, I can copy traceid to kibana discover to query the detailed log of the exception.

@wajika that is what the "Show trace logs" action does. It will take you to the [Logs app](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/xpack-logs.html), filtered down to the trace ID of the trace sample you're viewing.

Oh, I understand.  
I didn't know that log UI can change indexes.  
Thank you.
