Add color to a span on the interface

Description

Hey there!

When inspecting our logs in your product, it would be really helpful to have some kind of visual cue, like color-coding spans. For example, marking certain spans as “clear” vs. “needs further inspection” would make it easier to quickly identify issues.

Unless I’m missing something, it doesn’t seem like there’s currently a way to organize or review our logs more systematically within the interface.

Would this be something you’d consider adding? :)

Hiya @0xelight thanks for your feature request - we have a feature in beta to annotate spans, you can turn it on by

  1. Right click your user alias (top right)
  2. Click Feature Flags button
  3. Toggle on feedback_ui

This will allow you to add simple annotations at the span or event level - note we only support bool and unstructured text at the moment, but we are talking about extending this to capture categorical data (like your categories above) and continuous data (i.e. 1-5). The UI will improve from what's there— have a play with this and let us know if this helps?

We are also thinking about how to make it easy to search for these annotations so you can find sets of similar spans or traces.
