Coralogix
If you’re manage you logs within Coralogix, you can correlate logs with their corresponding traces and spans in Aspecto.
Enrich Your Logs With Telemetry Data
To search for the logs related to a specific trace or the request transaction which generated the trace, you’ll need to enrich your logs with the trace ID and span ID. These log fields will let you drill down via a link that opens the specific trace in Aspecto from within Coralogix.
The enrichment process depends on the language and log type. You can find here example how to add it using Aspecto SDK.
