Correlate request logs with traces automatically
Datadog offers an automatic context propagation feature that unifies all telemetry data for a single request by linking logs from disparate functions, processes, hosts, containers, and cloud services. This feature is built into Datadog's distributed tracing libraries and requires zero developer time or maintenance. By enhancing tracing libraries to inject the same request-scoped context into logs, users can easily view the logs associated with a request trace, pivot from logs to traces in one click, isolate all the logs from a single request, and flip the switch for auto-correlation of logs and request traces. This solution helps developers troubleshoot faster by providing a comprehensive view of telemetry data for a given request.
