A common issue I have is linking events across different monitoring systems. For example, a very common scenario would be me having to copy a trace id from Haystack, open a new tab, open some centralized logging tool like and paste the traceid there to see the logs for that particular trace.
I propose to add a new feature to the Haystack UI where we can configure custom links.
These could be defined in a json file where we would have a title and the rules to build the link itself based on placeholders where we could resolve the values of different tags and potentially time windows as well.
Example below:
[
{
"text": "Kibana",
"url": "http://kibana.mycompany.com/?query=foo_bar=${traceId}"
},
{
"text": "Grafana",
"url": "http://grafana.mycompany.com/?dashboard=foo_bar=${serviceName}&startTime=${timestamp-5m}&endTime=${timestamp+5m}"
}
]
The following is a good read on this, and how the same/similar feature works in Jaeger https://itnext.io/custom-links-in-jaeger-ui-3479f72bb815
And a similar feature in Zipkin: https://github.com/openzipkin/zipkin-classic#how-do-i-find-logs-associated-with-a-particular-trace
