Investigate traces using Search query builder

Inspired by PromQL and LogQL, TraceQL is a query language designed for selecting traces. TraceQL provides a method for formulating precise queries so you can zoom in to the data you need. Query results are returned faster because the queries limit what is searched.

To learn more about how to query by TraceQL, refer to the TraceQL documentation.

The Search query builder, located on the Explore > Query type > Search in Grafana, provides drop-down lists and text fields to help you write a query.

The Search query builder

Enable Search with the query builder

This feature is automatically available in Grafana 10 (and newer) and Grafana Cloud.

To enable the TraceQL query builder in self-hosted Grafana through version 10.1, enable the traceqlSearch feature toggle.
