step 01 · open
Open the trace, not a dashboard.
Drop a trace ID, a request URL, or a five-second time window. Tracejam pulls the spans
from your collector and renders them inline — no dashboard hop, no link to Grafana,
no separate logs window. The trace is the unit of work.
# by trace id
$ tracejam open 9c3a72ef
step 02 · find
Find the regressed span.
Tracejam ranks spans by p99 deviation against your service's seven-day baseline.
The first one in the list is almost always the problem. No filters to set; the baseline
is precomputed every five minutes per service.
# top 3 regressed spans this hour
$ tracejam top --window 1h
step 03 · read
Read why, in plain text.
Each span carries an auto-generated explainer: which dependency
regressed, which version of which service, which deploy correlates, the last clean run,
and the diff between then and now. Plain text, copy-paste ready into a post-mortem.
# dump the explainer
$ tracejam why "pricing.quote"
