Which two functions does the Trace Explorer allow you to do in Application Performance Monitoring (APM)? (Choose two.)

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Application Performance Monitoring (APM) Trace Explorer provides diagnostic capabilities for inspecting distributed trace data collected from monitored applications. Users can leverage Trace Explorer to select pre-defined queries from the Quick Pick menu, enabling rapid execution of common diagnostic searches such as filtering high-latency calls or HTTP error status codes. Additionally, Trace Explorer allows administrators and developers to inspect individual transaction traces in detail. Clicking on a specific trace opens the span view, where users can analyze individual span timing, parent-child relationships, execution duration, and contextual span attributes, making it essential for identifying application performance bottlenecks.

C. Display status of monitored systems: Monitored system health and operational availability are displayed on APM dashboards and Synthetic Monitoring pages, not inside Trace Explorer.
D. Define custom metrics for traces: Trace-based metric summaries and metric extraction rules are configured under APM admin options rather than defined inside Trace Explorer.
