# APM Filters

You can apply filters to all services in the **Services**, **Databases**, and **Service Map** interfaces.

APM uses these filter categories:

## Telemetry type

Uses **Distributed tracing**.

## Span Type

Kloudfuse associates every service monitored by your application with a type. It automatically determines the type based on the `span.type` attribute. The type specifies the name of the application or framework with which the Kloudfuse agent integrated.

Options include **cache**, **custom**, **db**, **http**, **grpc**, **queue**, and **web**.

### Examples:
- **cache**: Redis, Memcache  
- **custom**: Custom application  
- **db**: PostgreSQL, MySQL, Cassandra  
- **web**: Flask integrations

## Language

Filters on the programming language of the integrated telemetry software development kit (SDK), including **go**, **nodejs**, **cpp**, **java**, **dotnet**, **rust**, **python**, **php**, and **ruby**.

The language filter includes a search function.

## Version

Version of the service; you can attach it as a descriptor to the time series from the services.

## Cloud

Filters on various attributes of cloud-based services.  
Includes  
- [availability zone](https://docs.kloudfuse.com/platform/3.3.6/glossary/#availability-zone)
