You can share trace data, heatmaps, or specific span details from the Trace Explorer page with colleagues to collaborate on investigating performance anomalies, latency spikes, and errors.
As you filter, search, or inspect trace data on the Trace Explorer page, your browser URL updates automatically to reflect your current settings.
When a recipient opens the shared URL, the Trace Explorer page uses the settings in the URL, overriding any default settings. However, the displayed data depends on the recipient's Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles on the projects referenced by the URL.
Before you begin
To get the permissions that
you need to view trace data by using the Google Cloud console,
ask your administrator to grant you the
Cloud Trace User (roles/cloudtrace.user) IAM role on the projects that store trace data.
For more information about granting roles, see Manage access to projects, folders, and organizations.
