Tracing is the most general of them, and the most expensive unless you're careful with the implementation.

Trace spans are time-delimited units of "stuff that happened", with a tree relationship among the spans, and each span can have arbitrary tags (key/value pairs) and events (time/value).

From that, if you chose, you could derive metrics and logs. The trick is to start with tracing and to actually put it in your program, rather than trying to mostly-automatically tack it on later.
