Sentry (https://sentry.io/ https://sentry.io/) has been building a load of tracing functionality, and the Javascript client captures logs and requests leading up to an error by default. I've used this in the past quite a bit, and found it really useful. And in terms of Cloud Trace vs other tracing providers, I think it was the ease of setup and the simple log + trace inline view that sold us on it. Only took a couple of hours to get working, and it's great that it works for local dev too.

We did try Sentry, but we couldn't really get the UI to work for us. By default, the logical unit it uses is the error, and our project view would quickly be spammed with all the events and become unusable. I haven't personally researched it (I've used Sentry for errors-only needs, and it works well for that), but from what I heard the error-centric functionality made it hard to work with traces. Would you happen to have any tips on how to fix that? Maybe we just got it wrong.

  You are right — because they built their trace data using the same data model as the error data (everything is an "event"), they are now running into difficulties with high quality trace data.
