Now,I have an application and it is slow in some machine, but i don't know which machine, so Do we need add hostname or other info to traceSegment or add tag to span?

There is an application id and instance id in every segment, which include application code, machine info, such as ip, hostname, processid.

I think I can move this into a query requirement for trace, to discuss whether could we provide this in beta2.

@hanahmily @peng-yongsheng What do you think about this in beta2? It makes sense in some cases. I am just not sure about the milestone.

[peng-yongsheng]

I'm ok. Collector and UI are easy to support it. But there were so many agent plugins need to develop and test.

From the application instance id, backend knows already. No need to adjust any plugin.
