While logs can tell us whether a specific request failed to execute or not and metrics can help us monitor how many times this request failed and how long the failed request took, traces help us debug the reason why the request failed, or took so long to execute by breaking up the execution flow and dissecting it into smaller events.

We’re excited to announce that Sensu 2.0 Beta is now publicly available for testing!
