Design at: [https://github.com/openobserve/designs/blob/main/infrastructure/file-list/trace-time-index.md](https://github.com/openobserve/designs/blob/main/infrastructure/file-list/trace-time-index.md) ## Summary - add an hourly Metadata time index per trace stream to resolve a trace ID to its full time range - add external time-range and trace-details APIs, including bounded locate/expand behavior and standard search responses - integrate index generation into trace ingestion and preserve query visibility through the synchronous Metadata write path - synchronize retention and deletion for associated Metadata streams - reuse the shared trace stream permission check across trace APIs ## Why Trace detail lookup currently depends on a caller-provided time range, which can omit spans outside that window. The time index provides a bounded, best-effort range lookup for `stream + trace_id` without scanning the full trace stream. Closes #13823 ## Environment variables | Variable | Default | Effect | | --- | --- | --- | | `ZO_TRACE_TIME_INDEX_ENABLED` | `true` | Enables per-trace-stream Metadata indexes, index writes during trace ingestion, and indexed time-range lookup. Only traces ingested after the feature is enabled are indexed; there is no historical backfill. | | `ZO_QUERY_TIMEOUT` | 600 seconds | Existing setting reused as the cumulative Trace Timer locate/expand deadline and as the default timeout for the trace-details search. | When enabled, each traces stream can create a related Metadata stream named `trace_time_index_{stream}`. Its retention settings follow the source stream, and it is removed with the source stream. ## API changes All timestamp parameters and returned time ranges use microseconds. ### Get a trace time range ```http GET /api/{org_id}/{stream_name}/traces/{trace_id}/time_range ``` Query parameters: - `hint_ts` (optional): timestamp hint used to start the index lookup Returns the source stream, trace ID, and the resolved `start_time` / `end_time`. The `range` field is `null` when the index cannot resolve the trace. ### Get trace details ```http GET /api/{org_id}/{stream_name}/traces/{trace_id}/details ``` Query parameters: - `start_time` and `end_time` (optional, but must be supplied together): caller-provided range - `hint_ts` (optional): timestamp hint for the time-index lookup - `timeout` (optional): trace-details search timeout in seconds The endpoint unions the caller range with the indexed range, so it never narrows a caller-provided range. If neither the caller range nor the index can provide a range, it returns `400`. The response uses the standard search response and includes the effective range in `new_start_time` and `new_end_time`. ## Validation - `cargo test -p openobserve-api-search --lib` — 145 passed - `cargo test -p openobserve-core traces::time_index::tests --lib` — 7 passed - `cargo test -p infra db::trace_time_index::tests::test_coverage_start_cache -- --exact --nocapture` — passed - `cargo check -p openobserve-api-search` - `cd web && npm run type-check:app` - end-to-end ingestion and query validation with the data generator ## Validation notes - targeted ESLint could not start because the local web dependencies are missing `@eslint/css` - enterprise-only compilation could not be completed from this OSS checkout because the local enterprise overlay is unavailable

This template should help get you started developing with Vue 3 in Vite.
Recommended IDE Setup
VSCode + Volar (and disable Vetur) + TypeScript Vue Plugin (Volar).
Type Support for .vue Imports in TS
TypeScript cannot handle type information for .vue imports by default, so we replace the tsc CLI with vue-tsc for type checking. In editors, we need TypeScript Vue Plugin (Volar) to make the TypeScript language service aware of .vue types.
If the standalone TypeScript plugin doesn't feel fast enough to you, Volar has also implemented a Take Over Mode that is more performant. You can enable it by the following steps:
- Disable the built-in TypeScript Extension
- Run
Extensions: Show Built-in Extensionsfrom VSCode's command palette - Find
TypeScript and JavaScript Language Features, right click and selectDisable (Workspace)
- Run
- Reload the VSCode window by running
Developer: Reload Windowfrom the command palette.

Project Setup
npm install
Compile and Hot-Reload for Development
For stand-alone UI development environment, create .env file and which contains below environment variable
VITE_OPENOBSERVE_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:5080/
npm run dev
Type-Check, Compile and Minify for Production
npm run build
Run Unit Tests with Vitest
npm run test:unit
Run End-to-End Tests with Cypress
npm run test:e2e:dev
This runs the end-to-end tests against the Vite development server. It is much faster than the production build.
But it's still recommended to test the production build with test:e2e before deploying (e.g. in CI environments):
npm run build
npm run test:e2e
Lint with ESLint
npm run lint
