Placing the cursor inside any method you can click on the Observability icon in the Insights side panel to quickly add an annotation that will include its data in the traces.
+Note: If you're using the Micrometer Tracing observability strategy in Digma, clicking on `Add Observability` will add an @Observe annotation. Otherwise, the @WithSpan annotation will be used. + ### Keeping track of specific values or parameters Sometimes you may wish to include additional data in the trace, such as parameters, results, counters, or any other data that may later be useful when reviewing the trace.
