Grafana Jaeger datasource : Is it possible to view traces across all services (Victoria Traces backend)?

Hi everyone,

I am using Grafana 12.2.0 with the Jaeger datasource, where Victoria Traces is configured as the backend storage.

While creating dashboards or exploring traces in Grafana, Jaeger always requires selecting a specific service name in order to query and display traces. This works fine when the service is known.

However, in my case:

  • The service names are not known in advance

  • The number of services is dynamic

  • I want to view all traces across all services together, instead of filtering by a single service

My question is:
Is there any way in Grafana + Jaeger to query or visualize traces for all services stored in Victoria Traces, without selecting a specific service name?
Are there any recommended workarounds for this use case?

Thanks in advance for your help!
