This brings us the the Trace selected in the Waterfall view:

Here we find several sections:

  • The actual Waterfall Pane (1), where you see the trace and all the instrumented functions visible as spans, with their duration representation and order/relationship showing.
  • The Trace Info Pane (2), by default, shows the selected Span information (highlighted with a box around the Span in the Waterfall Pane).
  • The Span Pane (3), here you can find all the Tags that have been sent in the selected Span, You can scroll down to see all of them.
  • The process Pane, with tags related to the process that created the Span (scroll down to see as it is not in the screenshot).
  • The Trace Properties at the top of the right-hand pane by default is collapsed as shown.
