In some of the ootb dashboards for apm we do this like
filter_ = filter('deployment.environment', '*') and filter('service.name', '*') and filter('sf_operation', '*') and filter('sf_kind', 'SERVER', 'CONSUMER') and (not filter('sf_dimensionalized', '*')) and (not filter('sf_serviceMesh', '*'))
groupby = ['deployment.environment', 'service.name', 'sf_operation', 'sf_httpMethod']
allow_missing = ['sf_httpMethod']
A = histogram('spans', filter=filter_).percentile(pct=90, by=groupby, allow_missing=allow_missing).publish(label='p90')
is traces.span.metrics.duration preferred for some use cases?

sf_operation is not created for spans with spanKind INTERNAL. This dashboard is specifically build to get insights into the performance on INTERNAL spans. I have a draft blog ready that explains this further.

Would be nice to have a short README in this directory describing/linking to the span_metrics connector and describing why/when this dashboard is useful?

Add service dashboard based on span metrics, so that internal spans are visible.
