Tracing Overview
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
