[Trace analytics]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/observability/trace/index/) can help you visualize the flow of events and identify performance problems, and [log analytics]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/observability/log-analytics/) can improve searching, analyzing and provide insights into your application.
