==== Distributed tracing

If your trace sample timeline is colorful, it's indicative of a distributed trace.
Services in a distributed trace are separated by color and listed in the order they occur.
When a trace travels through multiple services it is known as a _distributed trace_.
In APM, the colors in a distributed trace represent different services and
are listed in the order they occur.

Note that only properties available on root transactions are searchable.
For example, you can't search for `label.tier: 'high'`, as that field is only available on non-root transactions.
