The tracing data is then correlated with k6 test run data, so you can understand how your services and operations behaved during the whole test run. The collected tracing data is aggregated to generate real-time metrics—such as frequency of calls, error rates, and percentile latencies—that can help you narrow your search space and quickly spot anomalies. + +To learn more, refer to the [Integration with Grafana Cloud Traces documentation](/docs/grafana-cloud/k6/analyze-results/integration-with-grafana-cloud-traces/) and [Distributed Tracing in Grafana Cloud k6 blog post](https://grafana.com/blog/2023/09/19/troubleshoot-failed-performance-tests-faster-with-distributed-tracing-in-grafana-cloud-k6/). + ## Tenant database instance name and number for SAP HANA® data source
