Built on the foundation of the dash0.spans metric, dash0.span.events empowers you to query the number of events associated with your spans. Its advanced filtering and grouping capabilities give you full access to span and event attributes, such as event names (otel.span.event.name), offering a new level of insight into your trace data via PromQL.
Analyze the occurrences of specific span events over time using the otel.span.event.name attribute
This metric is also at the heart of the all-new Dash0 Cost Estimate dashboard, now available in the Integration Hub. By breaking down event volumes across services, the dashboard provides a clear view of how your event data contributes to overall observability costs. With this knowledge, you can make smarter, data-driven decisions to manage and optimize expenses while maintaining visibility.
