LLM Node Tracing

Monitor every AI decision your agent makes. LLM Node Tracing captures every interaction with your language models, providing detailed insights into prompts, responses, performance, and token usage for complete AI observability.

Perfect for tracking GPT, Claude, and custom LLM calls while optimizing prompts, monitoring costs, and analyzing model performance in production.

LLM Node Tracing is essential for understanding how your AI models behave, optimizing prompts for better results, and controlling costs in production environments.

What Gets Tracked

Every LLM interaction is captured with complete context:

Data TypeWhat’s CapturedWhy It Matters
🔤 Prompts & ResponsesComplete input prompts and model outputsDebug issues, optimize prompts, validate behavior
⚙️ Model ParametersTemperature, max tokens, model versionTrack configuration changes and their impact
⏱️ PerformanceResponse times and latency metricsIdentify slow operations and bottlenecks
❌ ErrorsFailed requests, timeouts, and retry attemptsQuickly diagnose and fix model issues

Implementation Methods

Model Wrapper Approach

Automatically track all interactions with a specific model instance:

Node Decorator Approach

Track specific functions that contain LLM interactions:

Complete Example: Customer Service Bot

Here’s a comprehensive example showing LLM node tracing in a multi-step customer service workflow:

Dashboard Analytics

LLM Node Tracing provides comprehensive insights through your Handit.ai dashboard:

Performance Monitoring

  • Response times - Track latency trends and identify slow operations
  • Request volume - Monitor usage patterns and peak traffic
  • Execution timing - Understand processing bottlenecks

Complete Observability

  • Prompt inspection - Review exact inputs sent to models
  • Response analysis - Examine model outputs and quality
  • Parameter tracking - Monitor configuration changes and their impact
  • Error context - Debug failed requests with full stack traces

Cost Optimization

  • Token usage analysis - Track input/output token consumption
  • Cost breakdown - Monitor expenses across different models
  • Efficiency metrics - Identify opportunities for optimization

LLM Node Tracing provides the visibility you need to optimize model performance, reduce costs, and improve user experience in production AI applications.
