# Traces support
<a name="datasources-opensearch-traces"></a>

The OpenSearch plugin has support for viewing a list of traces in table form, and a single trace in **Trace View**, which shows the timeline of trace spans.

**Note**  
Querying OpenSearch traces is only available using Lucene queries.  
Trace support is only available for Grafana workspaces that support version 9.4 or newer.

To create a query showing all traces, use the Lucene query type `Traces` with a blank query. If necessary, select the **Table** visualization type.

Selecting a trace ID in the table will open that trace in the trace view.

To create a query showing a single trace, use the query `traceid: {{{traceId}}}`, and, if necessary, select the **Traces** visualization type.
