Find a span

[kvor]

Is it possible to find a span (within a Trace) by name or even by Id?

[jkwatson]

Can you explain a little bit more about what you need? Where are you looking for spans, exactly?

[kvor]

@jkwatson Thanks for your reply. What we want is to close a span within a trace. Since the code is generic, we do not have explicit calls to start/end a span case by case inside a specific block of code but rather generic ones (for example start/end spans inside a filter). However, we do want to close all opened spans when an exception happens.

There's definitely no built-in way to do this. How are the spans getting created?
