This isn't possible. In the future I believe the new Grail App will solve this but not until next year.

Based on some conversation with support, you can create a workflow to POST distributed trace data to a custom API endpoint. So, essentially, it is a push operation to an endpoint that can receive the data.

Has anyone created a workflow that has a visibility and full access to the distributed traces with all the properties like request attributes from the trace?

Hi @frank_hahn,
did the support give you any hints or documentation on how this works?
I have never heard of it, but would also be interested in being able to query the distributed traces via the API.

According to Dynatrace, there will be a new feature called "trace on grail" sometime this year. I do not have ETA yet. Once it is available in grail, we should be able to extract them through workflow.
