 Traces link together related transactions to show an end-to-end performance of how a request was served and which services were part of it. In addition to the Traces overview, you can view your application traces in the [trace sample timeline waterfall](/solutions/observability/apm/trace-sample-timeline.md).

 A trace is a group of [transactions](/solutions/observability/apm/transactions.md) and [spans](/solutions/observability/apm/spans.md) with a common root. Each trace tracks the entirety of a single request. It describes the individual operations and their causality that ensue from a single logical operation.

 Use Playground to combine your Elasticsearch data with the power of large language models (LLMs) for retrieval augmented generation (RAG). The chat interface translates your natural language questions into {{es}} queries, retrieves the most relevant results from your {{es}} documents, and passes those documents to the LLM to generate tailored responses.
