FAQPage Schema
How do I enable LangSmith tracing for my application?

To enable LangSmith tracing, configure the proper environment variables in your application and run a trace-enabled operation to generate trace data.

Can I trace non-LangChain code with LangSmith?

Yes, you can trace non-framework code using manual wrapping, while LangChain and LangGraph applications are supported through automatic tracing.

How do I export traces using the CLI to find latency hotspots?

Export traces by using CLI-based querying to capture metadata and runs, allowing you to analyze the exported data and quickly identify latency hotspots.

What environment variables do I need to set for LangSmith instrumentation?

Proper environment configuration is required for LangSmith instrumentation, including setting the necessary environment variables and ensuring the LangSmith CLI is installed.

How does manual wrapping work for tracing non-framework Python code?

Manual wrapping allows you to instrument non-framework code by explicitly adding trace boundaries, capturing execution flows that automatic tracing cannot detect.

Do I need the LangSmith CLI to query and export trace datasets?

Yes, the LangSmith CLI is required to perform querying, exporting, and metadata capture, ensuring proper trace naming and export practices to generate usable datasets.
