+## Add traces to log
+
+A great feature of Datadog is to correlate traces and logs to make troubleshooting easier. 
+
+To take advantage of this, you will need to:
+- install the `dd-trace` package 
+- import it and init it with `logInjection:true`. 
+- BuffLog will append automatically the traces to the logs (only within a request)
+
+```js
+// make sure to put those lines at the very beginning of your service
+import tracer from "dd-trace";
+tracer.init({
+    //  will automatically append the traces to BuffLog
+    logInjection: true
+
+    // ... all other options...
+});
+```
