Distributed traces, spans, service dependencies, and request flow analysis. Use when investigating span-level details, failures, performance bottlenecks, or trace correlation. Trigger: "trace analysis", "slow requests", "failed spans", "service dependencies", "distributed trace", "span details", "HTTP status codes in traces", "database query spans", "messaging spans", "gRPC calls", "Lambda cold starts", "trace ID lookup", "exception analysis", "correlate logs and traces", "request attributes". Do NOT use for explaining existing queries, product documentation or configuration questions, service-level RED metrics (use dt-obs-services), log searching (use dt-obs-logs), or problem analysis (use dt-obs-problems).

Application Tracing Skill Overview Distributed traces in Dynatrace consist of spans - building blocks representing units of work. With Traces in Grail, every span is accessible via DQL with full-text searchability on all attributes. This skill covers trace fundamentals, common analysis patterns, and span-type specific queries.
