Timestamp actions in the tracing drilldown Info Panel

Improved

[![Info Panel](/docs/assets/images/info-panel-main-7ad4414610eebba1aa7303ff474d1560.webp)](https://coralogix.com/docs/assets/images/info-panel-main-7ad4414610eebba1aa7303ff474d1560.webp)

The timestamp fields in the span Info Panel now offer the same quick actions as the header: **Copy Timestamp**, **Copy as Epoch**, **View Surrounding Explore Logs**, and **View Surrounding Explore Traces/Spans**, so you can copy a precise time or pivot to correlated logs and traces without leaving the panel. **[Learn more](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/data_exploration/spans/info_panel.md#actions-and-quick-operations)**

Correlate across multiple logs datasets in the tracing drilldown

Improved

[![Open related data](/docs/assets/images/related-data-45fc5bc684966ff3fc6d10c98fa2da0b.webp)](https://coralogix.com/docs/assets/images/related-data-45fc5bc684966ff3fc6d10c98fa2da0b.webp)

The Logs tab's **Dataset** selector now takes more than one dataset. By default it covers all the logs datasets you can access, correlating across everything in a single query; select specific datasets to narrow it. Search the list to find a dataset by name. **[Learn more](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/data_exploration/spans/related_data.md#logs)**

Set a team default for Related Logs correlation

New

[![Open related data](/docs/assets/images/related-data-45fc5bc684966ff3fc6d10c98fa2da0b.webp)](https://coralogix.com/docs/assets/images/related-data-45fc5bc684966ff3fc6d10c98fa2da0b.webp)

Team admins can set the default **By** correlation for the Related Logs tab across the whole team, so members inherit the right correlation instead of each setting it themselves. Set it from **Settings**, then **Account**, then **Preferences**, in the **Team level view** card. Users can still override it for themselves. **[Learn more](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/data_exploration/spans/related_data.md#set-a-team-default-correlation-view)**

Share the tracing drilldown view with a link

New

[![Trace header](/docs/assets/images/trace-header-593f2460eff49ae69cc8c15a9eeaca5c.webp)](https://coralogix.com/docs/assets/images/trace-header-593f2460eff49ae69cc8c15a9eeaca5c.webp)

The **Copy link** icon in the tracing drilldown copies a self-contained link that reopens the exact view, the trace, fixed time range, action-bar filters, the active Gantt, Flame, or Dependencies view and its settings, Info Panel state, related-data selections, and layout. The link encodes everything in its URL parameters, so anyone with access to the data sees the same view in any browser or session, and it keeps working as long as the data is retained. **[Learn more](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/data_exploration/spans/headers_actions.md#share-the-drilldown-view)**

Log and AI Session event markers in Gantt

Improved

[![Action bar](/docs/assets/images/action-bar-1275e5c87f186be0ebe68e26cc095b75.webp)](https://coralogix.com/docs/assets/images/action-bar-1275e5c87f186be0ebe68e26cc095b75.webp)

Gantt view now surfaces **log events** and **AI Session** activity as event markers on the trace timeline, alongside the existing HTTP, gRPC, database, and span events. Logs are correlated to their span by timestamp (Error and Critical severities show the error indicator) and AI Session markers reveal where Gen-AI activity occurred regardless of which span is selected. Hover any marker for details. **[Learn more](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/data_exploration/spans/visualize.md#events)**

OTel span links and Trace Quality Indicators

New

**OTel span links**: Clickable connections between asynchronously related spans are now visible in the Gantt and Dependencies views, making it easy to follow a message queue or async handoff without losing the trace context. **[Learn more](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/data_exploration/spans.md)**

**Trace Quality Indicators** (A badge on the trace header flags structural issues) missing root span, multiple root spans, so you can identify incomplete traces at a glance and investigate instrumentation gaps. **[Learn more](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/data_exploration/spans.md)**

Service health context on the Info Panel Performance section

Improved

[![Info Panel](/docs/assets/images/info-panel-main-7ad4414610eebba1aa7303ff474d1560.webp)](https://coralogix.com/docs/assets/images/info-panel-main-7ad4414610eebba1aa7303ff474d1560.webp)

The Info Panel **Performance** section now surfaces service-level signals for the span's service, scoped to a 15-minute window around the span's start time. New fields include **SLO Status** (shown as `X OK, Y BREACHED`), **Health** (**Healthy**, **Critical**, **Warning**, or **Unmonitored**), and **Incidents** (count of active incidents, with a **View Incident** link per incident). Each field has a **View APM Service catalog** action that opens the catalog filtered by the service. The **Infrastructure** tab in Span related data also shows live pod and node status inline. **[Learn more](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/data_exploration/spans/info_panel.md#service-health-context)**

Color by, Depth, and Trace layout moved to the action bar

Changed

[![Action bar](/docs/assets/images/action-bar-1275e5c87f186be0ebe68e26cc095b75.webp)](https://coralogix.com/docs/assets/images/action-bar-1275e5c87f186be0ebe68e26cc095b75.webp)

In the Tracing Drilldown, the **Color by**, **Depth**, and **Trace layout** controls now appear as dropdowns directly in the action bar, so you can change them in one select instead of opening a menu. **Gantt** view exposes **Color by** and **Depth**; **Flame** view exposes **Color by** and **Trace layout**; **Dependencies** Span view exposes **Color by**. On smaller screens, the same controls remain in the menu. **[Learn more](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/data_exploration/spans/visualize.md#color-by-and-legend)**

DataPrime queries in the Logs tab View query drawer

Improved

[![Open related data](/docs/assets/images/related-data-45fc5bc684966ff3fc6d10c98fa2da0b.webp)](https://coralogix.com/docs/assets/images/related-data-45fc5bc684966ff3fc6d10c98fa2da0b.webp)

In the Span related data **Logs** tab, the **View query** drawer now shows the correlation query in two formats (**DataPrime** and **Lucene**) for the **Span**, **Trace**, and **Service** views. **Custom** view stays Lucene-only because custom field mappings don't translate to a standard DataPrime expression. Copy either query, or select **Open in Explore Logs** to run it in the full logs experience with the time range preserved. **[Learn more](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/data_exploration/spans/related_data.md#view-the-query-used-for-correlation)**

Request loops shown as dashed edges in Dependencies

Improved

[![Action bar](/docs/assets/images/action-bar-1275e5c87f186be0ebe68e26cc095b75.webp)](https://coralogix.com/docs/assets/images/action-bar-1275e5c87f186be0ebe68e26cc095b75.webp)

When a trace contains a cyclic dependency (a request that flows back through a service or span that already called it) the back-pointing edge automatically renders as a dashed line in both **Service view** and **Span view** of the Tracing Drilldown **Dependencies** view. The dashed edge appears whenever the cycle exists; there's no toggle to enable. Use it to spot request loops that signal architectural issues and complicate troubleshooting. **[Learn more](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/data_exploration/spans/visualize.md#map-interactions)**

Tracing Drilldown quick actions and Dependencies controls

Improved

[![Action bar](/docs/assets/images/action-bar-1275e5c87f186be0ebe68e26cc095b75.webp)](https://coralogix.com/docs/assets/images/action-bar-1275e5c87f186be0ebe68e26cc095b75.webp)

Quick actions on graph elements, Right-click a span in **Flame** or **Gantt**, or select the 3-dots icon on a node in **Dependencies**, to pivot between views, open **Highlights**, or jump to APM. Service-view nodes in Dependencies expose APM Service Catalog, APM Service Operation, APM Database, APM Database Operation, and APM Serverless depending on service type. **Gantt** quick actions also include **Show Surrounding Spans** for traces beyond the time range or span limits. **[Learn more](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/data_exploration/spans/visualize.md#quick-actions-right-click)**

New Dependencies controls. A new **Node detail** toggle in the Dependencies more actions menu controls how much information each node shows (Compact / Standard, default Standard). The 20,000-span cap now also applies to Dependencies (Span view and Service view), matching Flame and Gantt. **[Learn more](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/data_exploration/spans/visualize.md#dependencies-specific-controls)**
