														# 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.   |

														 | 
														 | 
														 | 
														 | 
														 | 
														• 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 |
