Tracing is a fundamental feature of Langtrace that enables the collection and analysis of data from your LLM applications. This overview introduces key concepts and components of the tracing system.

​
What is Tracing?

In the context of Langtrace, tracing refers to the process of capturing detailed information about the execution of your LLM apps. This includes data such as:

  • Input and output tokens
  • Response times
  • Model parameters
  • User feedback
  • Custom attributes

​
Core Components

​
SDK

The Langtrace SDK is the primary tool for implementing tracing in your application. It:

  • Integrates easily with your existing codebase
  • Collects traces automatically
  • Allows for custom attribute tracking

​
Dashboard

The Langtrace Dashboard provides a web interface for:

  • Visualizing collected traces
  • Analyzing performance metrics
  • Identifying trends and anomalies
