Services provides detailed insights into the performance and health of your services. Use it to perform failure analysis, response times, query performance, and message processing. You can also utilize this app to filter by key attributes, for example, Kubernetes namespaces or HTTP endpoints, and examine relationships to Kubernetes, host, and cloud infrastructure. Moreover, you can view logs emitted by your services and jump directly to 
Distributed Tracing for deeper analysis of specific transactions.
