Tempo
Tempo holds the traces that show where a request actually spent its time and where it died. Antimetal reaches Tempo through your Grafana connection, so it comes online alongside your other Grafana data sources.
What Antimetal does with Tempo
- Follow a trace across service boundaries to the failing span
- Identify which downstream dependency introduced latency
- Correlate a slow trace with the logs and metrics from the same moment
- Distinguish a broad regression from a single slow code path
Connecting Tempo
Tempo is connected through Grafana. Follow the Grafana setup and Antimetal picks up Tempo automatically as one of its data sources.
Prerequisites
- Tempo configured as a data source in Grafana Cloud or a self-hosted Grafana instance
Follow the Grafana setup for whichever deployment you run. Antimetal queries the data sources wired into Grafana, so no Tempo-specific credential is needed.
If Tempo and Grafana run inside your own network, review the self-hosted requirements — Antimetal needs an HTTPS endpoint and a read-only token to query it.
Permissions and access
Antimetal reads Tempo through Grafana using the same read-only credential. It issues queries only — no writes or ingestion.
All tenant data is processed in isolated environments. See security and compliance for details.
