# Trace Analytics
|
|
|
|
Trace Analytics provides a way to ingest and visualize [OpenTelemetry](https://opentelemetry.io/) data in OpenSearch. This data can help you find and fix performance problems in distributed applications.
|
|
|
|
A single operation, such as a user choosing a button, can trigger an extended series of events. The frontend might call a backend service, which calls another service, which queries a database, processes the data, and sends it to the original service, which sends a confirmation to the frontend.
|
|
|
|
Trace Analytics can help you visualize this flow of events and identify performance problems, as shown in the following image.

## Trace Analytics with Jaeger data
|
|
|
|
Trace Analytics supports Jaeger trace data in the OpenSearch Observability plugin. If you use OpenSearch as the backend for Jaeger trace data, you can use the built-in Trace Analytics capabilities.
|
|
|
|
To set up your environment to use Trace Analytics, see [Analyze Jaeger trace data]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/observability-plugin/trace/trace-analytics-jaeger/).
