# Traces

:::warning

This section currently in the experimental stage and may be adjusted in future versions.

:::

Native support for Trace data is introduced since GreptimeDB v0.14. In this
section we will cover from basic ingestion and query steps, to advanced
internals of data modeling.

- [Ingestion and Query](./read-write.md)
- [Trace Data Modeling in GreptimeDB](./data-model.md)
- [Extending Trace Data](./extend-trace.md)

## Query Traces

- [GreptimeDB Dashboard](/getting-started/installation/greptimedb-dashboard.md#traces-query): Search traces and inspect span records in the built-in Dashboard using a builder or code editor.
- [Ingestion and Query](./read-write.md#query): Jaeger-compatible API and SQL query interfaces.
