No Correlation

Symptom

Kernel events appear, but they are not connected to services, traces, or transaction IDs.

Likely causes

• OpenTelemetry is not enabled
• collector endpoint is wrong
• services do not emit trace IDs
• business IDs are not attached to spans
• service identity labels are missing

Fixes

• enable OpenTelemetry correlation
• verify collector reachability
• add service.name and deployment.environment
• add a stable business ID such as payment_id or transaction_id
• configure service identity rules
