Show Only Traces in View & Exclude Certain Routes
TLDR Aleksandar wants to show only traces in traces view and exclude certain routes. Ankit confirms the feature is upcoming. Srikanth and vishal-signoz help exclude a healthcheck route using FastAPI.

Srikanth can you help?

Tue, 02 May 2023 15:37:59 UTCideally I would be able to toggle to show/hide the spans in the list shown on `/trace` , so when needed I can see only the traces without the spans, and then when I want to see spans of the specific trace I click on it to open the detailed view (trace details page)

Tue, 02 May 2023 16:11:02 UTCJust by the looks of it, you are probably using FastAPI, see

Tue, 02 May 2023 16:11:34 UTCYou are right, thank you so much my friend, will try it! Srikanth :pray:

Tue, 02 May 2023 16:12:08 UTC> so when needed I can see only the traces without the spans by this do you mean root span? since trace is really a bunch of spans.

Tue, 02 May 2023 16:13:33 UTCSrikanth yes, thats what I’ve meant
Aleksandar
Tue, 02 May 2023 16:27:54 UTCSrikanth the URL exclude list seems to be working, the only issue is that my healthcheck is on the `/` route, and I’m not sure which value should I set to exclude only that URL and not any other. With value `OTEL_PYTHON_EXCLUDED_URLS=/` It excludes all root spans for all urls
vishal-signoz
Tue, 02 May 2023 16:31:30 UTCAleksandar Try `^/$` It should only match `/` route
Aleksandar
Tue, 02 May 2023 16:47:33 UTCtried it, it excluded all of the routes except the healthcheck one, so basically opposite of what I was heading towards to vishal-signoz
vishal-signoz
Tue, 02 May 2023 16:57:16 UTCStrange, `^/$` is regex to match only `/` Can you set `OTEL_PYTHON_FASTAPI_EXCLUDED_URLS="^/$"`
vishal-signoz
Tue, 02 May 2023 16:58:03 UTCI tested this regex:
Aleksandar
Tue, 02 May 2023 17:01:02 UTCI’ll test the `OTEL_PYTHON_FASTAPI_EXCLUDED_URLS` in a few minutes. One thing that crossed my mind from
Aleksandar
Tue, 02 May 2023 17:24:20 UTC`OTEL_PYTHON_FASTAPI_EXCLUDED_URLS` behaving exactly the same
Srikanth
Tue, 02 May 2023 17:42:40 UTCYes, it doesn’t include the trailing slash. I recommend you to some straightforward endpoint like `/healthz` or `/healthcheck` and exclude it instead of the root URL.
Aleksandar
Tue, 02 May 2023 17:47:41 UTCthat is probably the best approach. Thanks for the help Srikanth vishal-signoz

Tue, 02 May 2023 20:50:23 UTCSrikanth vishal-signoz I was able to actually solve it with the following value for excluded URLs: `^(https?://)?[^/]+(/)?$`
The regex `^/$` would have worked if the url that was passed to the validation function was only relative (`/`), but instead its the full URL (`

Tue, 02 May 2023 14:39:44 UTCHi, is it possible to show only traces in the traces view, by default Signoz shows both traces and their spans which makes it a bit hard for me to find the information that I need (screenshot for a reference). Also, is it possible to exclude certain routes, as I have healthcheck route which is triggered every few seconds and unnecessarily bloats the view. Thanks!
