How do I create dashboards for Span attributes in Prometheus?

Creating dashboards for Span attributes in Prometheus allows teams to visualize and monitor the performance of distributed applications effectively. By aggregating metrics related to serverless functions, microservices, and other distributed systems, you can gain insights into every aspect of performance, including latency, error rates, and resource utilization.

To create dashboards, you typically start by defining Span attributes that are crucial for your application and then configure Prometheus to scrape those metrics. Once the metrics are collected, you can use tools like Grafana to create dashboards that visualize and analyze that data.

Here’s an example configuration on how to collect Span attributes in Prometheus:

// Sample configuration for collecting Span attributes global: scrape_interval: 15s scrape_configs: - job_name: 'my_service' static_configs: - targets: ['localhost:8080']
