Is there a way to capture the total trace count displayed in a Distributed traces graph

[runatyr]

Hello:

There are times where it would be nice to be able to say 

"We saw X number of traces" between service A and service B within a specified period of time.

We can see the bar graphs show the breakdown per "sub interval " of time (e.g. 1.58K traces)

But is there a way to SUM or total the number of traces seen in that overall time period?

Hi runatyr!
I think that a solution for you need could be using the Multidimensional Analysis.
In the Service A Page, filtering for the "called service" B (as you also shown in your image) you can go to Throughput tab and then click on Create Analysis View button

You can check your data scrolling to the end of the opened page

Unfortunately there is no way you could export this data into a custom metric so you can't insert this data on a Dashboard tile 🙁

I hope that this will help you 😊

Best regards,
