The **Trace to logs** setting configures the [trace to logs feature]({{< relref "../../explore/trace-integration" >}}) that is available when you integrate Grafana with Jaeger.
**To configure trace to logs:**
There are two ways to configure the trace to logs feature:
- Use a simplified configuration with default query, or
- Configure a custom query where you can use a [template language]({{< relref "../../dashboards/variables/variable-syntax">}}) to interpolate variables from the trace or span.
#### Use a simple configuration
1. Select the target data source.
2. Select which tags to use in the logs query. The tags you configure must be present in the spans attributes or resources for a trace to logs span link to appear.
- **Single tag**
- Configuring `job` as a tag and clicking on a span link will take you to your configured logs datasource with the query `{job='value from clicked span'}`.
- **Multiple tags**
- If multiple tags are used they will be concatenated so the logs query would look like `{job='value from clicked span', service='value from clicked span'}`.
- **Mapped tags**
- For a mapped tag `service.name` with value `service`, clicking on a span link will take you to your configured logs datasource with the query `{service='value from clicked span'}` instead of `{service.name='value from clicked span'}`.
- This is useful for instances where your tracing datasource tags and your logs datasource tags don't match one-to-one.
1. Set start and end time shift. Since the logs timestamps may not exactly match the timestamps of the spans in trace, it may be necessary to search in larger or shifted time range to find the desired logs.
1. Select which tags to use in the logs query. The tags you configure must be present in the spans attributes or resources for a trace to logs span link to appear. You can optionally configure a new name for the tag. This is useful if the tag has dots in the name and the target data source does not allow dots in labels. In that case, you can, for example, remap `http.status` to `http_status`.
1. Optionally, switch on the **Filter by trace ID** and/or **Filter by span ID** setting to further filter the logs if your logs consistently contain trace or span IDs.
#### Configure a custom query
1. Select the target data source.
1. Set start and end time shift. Since the logs timestamps may not exactly match the timestamps of the spans in the trace, you may need to widen or shift the time range to find the desired logs.
1. Optionally, select tags to map. These tags can be used in the custom query with `${__tags}` variable. This variable will interpolate the mapped tags as a list in an appropriate syntax for the data source and will only include the tags that were present in the span omitting those that weren't present. You can optionally configure a new name for the tag. This is useful in cases where the tag has dots in the name and the target data source does not allow dots in labels. For example, you can remap `http.status` to `http_status`. If you don't map any tags here, you can still use any tag in the query like this `method="${__span.tags.method}"`.
1. Skip **Filter by trace ID** and **Filter by span ID** settings as these cannot be used with a custom query.
1. Switch on **Use custom query**.
1. Specify a custom query to be used to query the logs. You can use various variables to make that query relevant for current span. The link is present only if all the variables are interpolated with non-empty values to prevent creating an invalid query.
#### Variables that can be used in a custom query
To use a variable you need to wrap it in `${}`. For example: `${__span.name}`.
| Variable name | Description |
| ---------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **\_\_tags** | This variable uses the tag mapping from the UI to create a label matcher string in the specific data source syntax. The variable only uses tags that are present in the span. The link is still created even if only one of those tags is present in the span. You can use this if all tags are not required for the query to be useful. |
| **\_\_span.spanId** | The ID of the span. |
| **\_\_span.traceId** | The ID of the trace. |
| **\_\_span.duration** | The duration of the span. |
| **\_\_span.name** | Name of the span. |
| **\_\_span.tags** | Namespace for the tags in the span. To access a specific tag named `version`, you would use `${__span.tags.version}`. In case the tag contains dot, you have to access it as `${__span.tags["http.status"]}`. |
| **\_\_trace.traceId** | The ID of the trace. |
| **\_\_trace.duration** | The duration of the trace. |
| **\_\_trace.name** | The name of the trace. |
The following table describes the ways in which you can configure your trace to logs settings:
| Name | Description |
| ------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Data source** | Sets the target data source. |
| **Tags** | Defines the tags to use in the logs query. Default is `'cluster', 'hostname', 'namespace', 'pod'`. |
| **Map tag names** | Enables configuring how Jaeger tag names map to logs label names. For example, map `service.name` to `service`. |
| **Span start time shift** | Shifts the start time for the logs query based on the span start time. To extend to the past, use a negative value. Use time interval units like `5s`, `1m`, `3h`. Default is `0`. |
| **Span end time shift** | Shifts the end time for the logs query based on the span end time. Use time interval units. Default is `0`. |
| **Filter by Trace ID** | Toggles whether to append the trace ID to the logs query. |
| **Filter by Span ID** | Toggles whether to append the span ID to the logs query. |
