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
