Black dashes for HTTPs calls

Greetings,

We seem to have black dashes for our HTTPs calls and we aren't quite sure what they're supposed to mean. We found nothing resembling in the doc nor in any screenshoot we've had the chance to look at. Here's an exemple :

In browser, the call seems to persist past the black dash but in a node environment it stops at it.

Any answer as to what those black dashes mean / stand for would be greatly appreciated 🙏

Have you tried to ask the tool authors about this? OTel JS doesn't come with a UI like that one above.

[CBiglemon]

No, we haven't yet. The tool we're using is Jaeger UI.

Would be nice if they can tell in which condition black dashes like this are shown. Once we have this information it's by far easier to look into Oel-JS to check what causes this trigger to occur and if this is problematic/wrong or perfectly fine.

Another option is that you export the spans effected spans into the console and try by yourself to find something suspicious there.

Thank you for your quick answers. We'll ask the question in Jaeger UI and come back to you. 👍
