Tempo

#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

1. Connect Grafana

   Follow the Grafana setup for whichever deployment you run. Antimetal queries the data sources wired into Grafana, so no Tempo-specific credential is needed.

2. Make a self-hosted instance reachable

   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.
