One server over three signals: traces (what a request did), logs (what the code said while doing it) and metrics (how much, how often, how long). Everything is read-only — nothing here can modify or delete telemetry — so the only real risk is answering confidently from data that does not support it.

Two habits pay for themselves on every investigation:

• Bound the time window. Every tool takes lookback ("15m", "6h", "7d") or an absolute start_ms/end_ms in unix milliseconds. Omitting it searches everything stored, which is slow and usually answers a question nobody asked.
• Look up field names and syntax rather than guessing. query_syntax has the grammar; list_log_fields and list_trace_fields have the field names that exist in this instance. A guessed http.status where the data says http.status_code silently matches nothing.

Check the tools are there first
