Creating traces/spans

trace

trace(
    workflow_name: str,
    trace_id: str | None = None,
    group_id: str | None = None,
    metadata: dict[str, Any] | None = None,
    disabled: bool = False,
) -> Trace

Create a new trace. The trace will not be started automatically; you should either use it as a context manager (with trace(...):) or call trace.start() + trace.finish() manually.

In addition to the workflow name and optional grouping identifier, you can provide an arbitrary metadata dictionary to attach additional user-defined information to the trace.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
workflow_name str

The name of the logical app or workflow. For example, you might provide "code_bot" for a coding agent, or "customer_support_agent" for a customer support agent.

required
trace_id str | None

The ID of the trace. Optional. If not provided, we will generate an ID. We recommend using util.gen_trace_id() to generate a trace ID, to guarantee that IDs are correctly formatted.

None
group_id str | None

Optional grouping identifier to link multiple traces from the same conversation or process. For instance, you might use a chat thread ID.

None
metadata dict[str, Any] | None

Optional dictionary of additional metadata to attach to the trace.

None
disabled bool

If True, we will return a Trace but the Trace will not be recorded. This will not be checked if there's an existing trace and even_if_trace_running is True.

False

Returns:

Type Description
Trace

The newly created trace object.

The model configuration (hyperparameters) used.

None
usage dict[str, Any] | None

A dictionary of usage information (input tokens, output tokens, etc.).

Create a new guardrail span. The span will not be started automatically, you should either do with guardrail_span() ... or call span.start() + span.finish() manually.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
name str

The name of the guardrail.

required
triggered bool

Whether the guardrail was triggered.

False
span_id str | None

The ID of the span. Optional. If not provided, we will generate an ID. We recommend using util.gen_span_id() to generate a span ID, to guarantee that IDs are correctly formatted.

None
parent Trace | Span[Any] | None

The parent span or trace. If not provided, we will automatically use the current trace/span as the parent.

None
disabled bool

If True, we will return a Span but the Span will not be recorded.

False
