Hey, can I somehow search for Transactions with DB Queries in the APM UI? I tried: span.destination.service.name span.destination.service.resource span.destination.service.type span.type span.action Nothing worked. IDK What to use the search bar in the APM UI anyway, because most of the time it gives me nothing. Thanks ---

Hello @gruselglatz! Have you tried using Discover? These properties are available on spans, not transactions, and the search bar in the APM app only filters on the latter. However, you can get these spans from Discover, and use the trace.id from those spans to display the trace in the APM app (by entering it into APM app's search bar). ---
