Description
Consider the following trace rows from the Traces page. These represent operations against Redis:
The "Name" (2nd column) is displayed as "\: \ \", e.g. "webfrontend: SET 86ebc20".
When clicking into the first span to see the Trace waterfall view, note the root span is displayed with more default information in the "Name" column:
Specifically it's much clearer now that this span relates to a call to Redis due to the suffix displayed in the name column which uses the format "\ \ \", e.g. "DATA redis SET". This detail is pulled out by default so that the full span details pane doesn't need to be opened to understand what this represents, but we don't do the same thing on the root Traces page.
We should consider using a similar format for the "Name" column on the Traces page as we do for the spans on the Trace page.
