+# Observability & Tracing with Langfuse
+
+RAGFlow ships with a built-in [Langfuse](https://langfuse.com) integration so that you can **inspect and debug every retrieval and generation step** of your RAG pipelines in near real-time.
+
+Langfuse stores traces, spans and prompt payloads in a purpose-built observability backend and offers filtering and visualisations on top.  
+
+:::info NOTE
+• RAGFlow **≥ 0.18.0** (contains the Langfuse connector)  
+• A Langfuse workspace (cloud or self-hosted) with a _Project Public Key_ and _Secret Key_
+:::
+
+---
+
+## 1. Collect your Langfuse credentials
+
+1. Sign in to your Langfuse dashboard.  
+2. Open **Settings ▸ Projects** and either create a new project or select an existing one.  
+3. Copy the **Public Key** and **Secret Key**.  
+4. Note the Langfuse **host** (e.g. `https://cloud.langfuse.com`). Use the base URL of your own installation if you self-host.
+
+> The keys are _project-scoped_: one pair of keys is enough for all environments that should write into the same project.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Add the keys to RAGFlow
+
+RAGFlow stores the credentials _per tenant_. You can configure them either via the web UI or the HTTP API.
+
+1. Log in to RAGFlow and click your avatar in the top-right corner.  
+2. Select **API ▸ Scroll down to the bottom ▸ Langfuse Configuration**.  
+3. Fill in you Langfuse **Host**, **Public Key** and **Secret Key**.  
+4. Click **Save**. 
+

+
+Once saved, RAGFlow starts emitting traces automatically – no code change required.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Run a pipeline and watch the traces
+
+1. Execute any chat or retrieval pipeline in RAGFlow (e.g. the Quickstart demo).  
+2. Open your Langfuse project ▸ **Traces**.  
+3. Filter by **name ~ `ragflow-*`** (RAGFlow prefixes each trace with `ragflow-`).
+
+For every user request you will see:
+
+• a **trace** representing the overall request  
+• **spans** for retrieval, ranking and generation steps  
+• the complete **prompts**, **retrieved documents** and **LLM responses** as metadata
