LangSmith tracing and debugging setup for LLM applications. Configure observability, capture traces, and enable debugging for LangChain/LangGraph agents.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# langsmith-tracing

Configure LangSmith observability and tracing for LLM applications built with LangChain and LangGraph frameworks.

## Overview

LangSmith is the managed observability suite by LangChain that provides:

- Configure project/workspace settings
- Set up trace collection and sampling
- Enable debug logging for agent execution

### Integration Patterns
- LangChain chain tracing with automatic instrumentation
- LangGraph workflow state tracking
- Custom span creation for non-LangChain code
- Parent-child trace relationships

### Debugging Features
- Fetch execution traces for analysis
- Query run history and metadata
- Export traces for offline analysis
- Compare runs across different versions

## Usage

### Environment Setup

```bash
# Set required environment variables
export LANGCHAIN_TRACING_V2=true
export LANGCHAIN_API_KEY=<your-api-key>

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add a5c-ai/babysitter/langsmith-tracing@sha256:f1b464d4185781d7

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260601.da7723a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
