Span Filters
Using span filters, you can filter your spans in the trace timeline viewer. The more filters you add, the more specific are the filtered spans.

You can add one or more of the following filters:

- Tags (which include tags, process tags, and log fields)
To only show the spans you have matched, select the Show matches only toggle.
