isn't that what trace IDs are for?

Yeah I don't know their stack but I have a service that is a collection of microservices and Opus can debug them fine by aggregating the logs tied to the same faulty request ID.

In general for those tasks though the question is more "How would a human do it". If it's impossible for a human because your tooling is so bad you can't even get the logs across services for a single ID, that seems like a pretty serious design issue.

In general looking at the prompt though, this is also not very representative. You don't have an SOP that you can share with your agent? How do you expect new hires to onboard?

Much like nested errors, management of trace IDs becomes difficult under scale as you will start getting multiple correlation references in complex systems.
