[Online Workshop] New Relic Distributed Tracing: Tracking Across Your Application Stacks
While APM transaction tracing is helpful for analyzing calls in a single application, distributed tracing broadens your view by showing the path a request takes across multiple applications and services—from start to finish. With this wider view, you can quickly troubleshoot performance bottlenecks and errors.
In this practical session you’ll find out about how New Relic distributed tracing can extend your transaction tracing capabilities, and understand how distributed tracing works and can be configured for different environments. Using a sandbox account you’ll get hands-on experience of the different ways of working with the UI, combining it with APM and logs data, and using it to solve a range of problems.
