# Tracing
Observability & Tracing with Langfuse.
---
:::info KUDOS
This document is contributed by our community contributor [jannikmaierhoefer](https://github.com/jannikmaierhoefer). 👏
:::
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 **≥ 0.19.0** (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

:::tip NOTE
Use Langfuse's diff view to compare prompt versions or drill down into long-running retrievals to identify bottlenecks.
