In Application Performance Monitoring (APM), a distributed tracing user initiates a request through a browser. What is the first span called?
In distributed tracing within OCI APM:
Root span (C): The first span in a trace, representing the entry point of a user request (e.g., an HTTP request from a browser). It has no parent span and initiates the chain of subsequent spans across services.
Why not A or B?
Ajax call (A): A type of request, not a span term.
Trace ID (B): A unique identifier for the entire trace, not a span.
The root span is foundational to tracing a request's journey.
