Name

Giving names to your traces for better visbility on Confident AI

Overview

Both traces and spans have names, and you can customize them based on your liking for better UI display.

Set Name on Trace

You can name a trace at runtime by providing the name parameter in the update current trace function:

Python

TypeScript

main.py

1 from openai import OpenAI 
2 from deepeval.tracing import observe, update_current_trace
3 
4 client = OpenAI()
5 
6 @observe()
7 def llm_app(query: str):
8     update_current_trace(name="Call LLM")
9     return client.chat.completions.create(
10         model="gpt-4o",
11         messages=[{"role": "user", "content": query}]
12     ).choices[0].message.content
13 
14 llm_app("Write me a poem.")

By default, the name on a trace is set to None.

Set Name on Span

The default name for a span is the name of the function/method you’re observing. If you wish to overwrite this behavior, simply provide a name to the update current span function:

Python

TypeScript

main.py

1 from openai import OpenAI 
2 from deepeval.tracing import observe, update_current_span
3 
4 client = OpenAI()
5 
6 @observe()
7 def llm_app(query: str):
8     update_current_span(name="Call LLM")
9     return client.chat.completions.create(
10         model="gpt-4o",
11         messages=[{"role": "user", "content": query}]
12     ).choices[0].message.content
13 
14 llm_app("Write me a poem.")

9	return client.chat.completions.create(
10	model="gpt-4o",
11	messages=[{"role": "user", "content": query}]
12	).choices[0].message.content
13
14	llm_app("Write me a poem.")
