  • What Grafana version and what operating system are you using? Using Grafana 9.3.2.2

  • What are you trying to achieve?
    I am trying to implement traces and define custom colors for the span bars. Grafana normally does it by service, but instead I would like to do it by request type. Thus far I have not been able to find a way of doing this.

I get all the trace data to show properly and the UI to show the trace as I expect it. Does anyone know if there is a field or something of that sort that allows me to configure the color with which trace spans show?

Note that this is not something I want to configure in the UI, but rather in the backend. Any pointers would be appreciated.
