### Trace correlations
You can use [correlations](/docs/grafana/<GRAFANA_VERSION>/administration/correlations/) to define custom links that appear in the trace view based on trace and span information.
For Tempo, refer to [Trace correlations](/docs/grafana/<GRAFANA_VERSION>/datasources/tempo/traces-in-grafana/trace-correlations/) for configuration instructions.

## Node graph
You can also expand the node graph for a displayed trace. If the data source supports it, this displays spans of the trace as nodes in the graph, or provides additional context, such as a service graph based on the current trace.
