How can we get all traces with an error status in the response?

Grafana Tempo

I have already installed Tempo in my AKS Kubernetes cluster using a Helm chart. Traces are being pushed through OpenTelemetry (OTel). When I use the /api/search endpoint, I want to get the error status or status code in the response.

Currently, I’m getting the following response:
{
“traces”: [
{
“traceID”: “d6e9329d67b6146a”,
“rootServiceName”: “frontend”,
“rootTraceName”: “/cart”,
“startTimeUnixNano”: “1634727903545000000”,
“durationMs”: 611
},
{
“traceID”: “1b1ba462b409200d”,
“rootServiceName”: “frontend”,
“rootTraceName”: “/cart”,
“startTimeUnixNano”: “1634727775935000000”,
“durationMs”: 611
}
]
}

Could someone please let me know if there’s a way to query this through the /api/search endpoint, or if I need to use another API?

you can pass a url encoded traceql query with q=<query> query param filter your results, see API docs

TraceQL query {status=error} will show you spans with error status.

also checkout Traces Drilldown if you want an easy to use UI for Tempo.
