Pivoting from frontend to backend data
Once you have started collecting Frontend Observability data, you will be able to correlate it with backend and infrastructure telemetry. Grafana provides simple interfaces for this when you are using Loki for logs, Tempo for traces, and Mimir for metrics.

As discussed in the Setting up GrafanaFrontend Observability section, the app menu has three main sections, namely, Overview, Errors, and Sessions.
