Issue
I want to show error events and performance data (formerly transactions) together in one view.

Resolution
You cannot query error events and tracing data together in a single aggregated view, because they are separate datasets. Errors live in Explore → Errors, and performance data lives in Explore → Traces (Trace Explorer). Transactions have been replaced by spans. You can still see both together in two ways.
Open an individual trace. The trace view shows that trace's spans and any error events that occurred on the same trace together in the waterfall, so you can correlate an error with the operations around it.
Build a Dashboard with separate widgets, one on the Errors dataset and one on the Spans dataset. This puts error and span data side by side in a single dashboard, though each widget queries one dataset.
