Details Panel#

The Details Panel provides in-depth information about traces and their spans, letting you inspect every aspect of your LLM interactions.


Opening the Panel#

Click any trace in the Traces view to open its details in a sidebar panel.


Panel Sections#

Timeline#

At the top of the panel, a timeline visualization shows:

  • Trace duration — Total time from first to last span
  • Span breakdown — Individual spans with their relative timing
  • Parallel operations — Multiple concurrent spans displayed vertically

Click on any span in the timeline to jump to its details below.


Trace Properties#

High-level information about the entire trace:

Property Description
Trace ID Unique identifier for this trace
Duration Total elapsed time
Spans Number of spans in the trace
Start Time When the trace began
Project Associated project name

Span Properties#

Each span represents a single operation. Click a span to see:

Property Description
Span ID Unique identifier for this span
Parent ID ID of the parent span (if nested)
Operation Type of operation (e.g., chat/completions)
Duration Time taken for this span
Status Success, error, or pending

GenAI Properties#

For spans tagged with gen-ai, you'll see LLM-specific data:

Request Details#

Property Description
Model Model used (e.g., gpt-4o-mini)
Provider LLM provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)
Temperature Sampling temperature
Max Tokens Token limit for the response

Messages#

The full conversation history:

  • System — System prompt
  • User — User messages
  • Assistant — LLM responses
  • Tool — Tool calls and results

Token Usage#

Metric Description
Input Tokens Tokens in the prompt
Output Tokens Tokens in the response
Total Tokens Combined count
Estimated Cost Based on model pricing

Copying Data#

Click the icon next to any field to copy it to your clipboard.

Quick copy options:

Data How to Copy

Full Prompt Use the copy button in Messages section
Full Response Use the copy button next to assistant messages
JSON Export Right-click → Export as JSON

Multi-Span Traces#

When a trace contains multiple spans (common with agents, chains, or RAG pipelines):

  1. The timeline shows all spans and their relationships
  2. Nested spans are indented to show the parent-child hierarchy
  3. Click between spans to compare timing and content

Understanding Span Hierarchy

Use X-Loop-ParentID headers in your code to create meaningful hierarchies. This helps visualize which LLM calls are part of which workflow steps.
