# Introduction to Observability
In this tutorial, we will explore how to implement observability in LLM applications.
We will focus on using traces and tool spans to enhance monitoring.
# Setting Up Traces
To begin, we need to set up tracing in our LLM application.
This involves integrating a tracing library that supports our framework.
# Implementing Tool Spans
Next, we will implement tool spans to capture specific operations within our application.
This will help us identify performance bottlenecks and errors.
# Analyzing Trace Data
Finally, we will analyze the collected trace data to gain insights into our application's performance.
We will look for patterns and anomalies that can guide optimizations.
