 ### Tracez
 
-Tracez shows information on tracing, including aggregation counts for latency, running, and errors for spans grouped by name. Latency spans are spans that complete successfully without errors, and are bucketed according to their end time. Running spans are incomplete spans, which should become latency or error spans at some point. Error spans are ones that complete with an error, which is encoded with a [non-Ok status](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/blob/master/specification/trace/api.md#status). In addition to these counts, Tracez also keeps a set number of samples for each of these error, running, and latency (including within each duration bucket) buckets within each span name to allow users to look closer at span fields. This is particularly useful compared to external exporters that would otherwise likely sample them out.

 This zPage is also useful for debugging latency issues (slow parts of applications), deadlocks and instrumentation problems (running spans that don't end), and errors (where errors happen and what types). They're also good for spotting patterns by showing which latency speeds are typical for operations with a given span name.

 ### Tracez Details
 
-For OpenTelemetry, a custom [span processor](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/blob/master/specification/trace/sdk.md#span-processor) SHOULD be made to interface with the [Tracer API](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/blob/master/specification/trace/api.md#tracer) to collect spans. This span processor collects references to running spans and exports completed spans to its own memory or to an aggregator that can aggregate information from multiple span processors.
+For OpenTelemetry, a custom [span processor](../../specification/trace/sdk.md#span-processor) SHOULD be made to interface with the [Tracer API](../../specification/trace/api.md#tracer) to collect spans. This span processor collects references to running spans and exports completed spans to its own memory or to an aggregator that can aggregate information from multiple span processors.
 
 There SHOULD be a `data aggregator` that tracks running, error, and latency buckets counts for spans grouped by their respective name. The aggregator MUST also hold some sampled spans to provide users with more information. To prevent memory overload, only some spans MUST be sampled for each bucket for each span name; for example, if that sampled span max number is set to 5, then only up to 55 pieces of span data can be kept for each span name in the aggregator (sampled_max * number of buckets = 5 * [running + error + 9 latency buckets] =  5 * 11 = 55). Aggregation work is recommended to do periodically in batches.
