当您使用 LangChain 构建和运行 agent 时,您需要了解它们的行为:它们调用了哪些 工具,生成了什么提示词,以及它们是如何做决策的。使用 createAgent 构建的 LangChain agent 自动支持通过 LangSmith 进行追踪,LangSmith 是一个用于捕获、调试、评估和监控 LLM 应用程序行为的平台。 Traces 记录了您的 agent 执行的每一步,从最初的用户输入到最终的响应,包括所有工具调用、模型交互和决策点。这些执行数据可以帮助您调试问题、评估不同输入下的性能,并监控生产环境中的使用模式。 本指南向您展示如何为您的 LangChain agent 启用追踪,并使用 LangSmith 分析它们的执行情况。

以此为前提

在开始之前,请确保您拥有以下内容:

启用追踪

所有 LangChain agent 都自动支持 LangSmith 追踪。要启用它,请设置以下环境变量:
export LANGSMITH_TRACING=true
export LANGSMITH_API_KEY=<your-api-key>

快速开始

无需额外代码即可将 trace 记录到 LangSmith。只需像往常一样运行您的 agent 代码:
import { createAgent } from "@langchain/agents";

function sendEmail(to: string, subject: string, body: string): string {
    // ... email sending logic
    return `Email sent to ${to}`;
}

function searchWeb(query: string): string {
    // ... web search logic
    return `Search results for: ${query}`;
}

const agent = createAgent({
    model: "gpt-4.1",
    tools: [sendEmail, searchWeb],
    systemPrompt: "You are a helpful assistant that can send emails and search the web."
});

// Run the agent - all steps will be traced automatically
const response = await agent.invoke({
    messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Search for the latest AI news and email a summary to john@example.com" }]
});
默认情况下,trace 将记录到名为 default 的项目中。要配置自定义项目名称,请参阅 记录到项目

Trace selectively

You may opt to trace specific invocations or parts of your application using LangSmith’s tracing_context context manager:
import langsmith as ls

# This WILL be traced
with ls.tracing_context(enabled=True):
    agent.invoke({"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Send a test email to alice@example.com"}]})

# This will NOT be traced (if LANGSMITH_TRACING is not set)
agent.invoke({"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Send another email"}]})

Log to a project

You can set a custom project name for your entire application by setting the LANGSMITH_PROJECT environment variable:
export LANGSMITH_PROJECT=my-agent-project
You can set the project name programmatically for specific operations:
import langsmith as ls

with ls.tracing_context(project_name="email-agent-test", enabled=True):
    response = agent.invoke({
        "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Send a welcome email"}]
    })

Add metadata to traces

You can annotate your traces with custom metadata and tags:
response = agent.invoke(
    {"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Send a welcome email"}]},
    config={
        "tags": ["production", "email-assistant", "v1.0"],
        "metadata": {
            "user_id": "user_123",
            "session_id": "session_456",
            "environment": "production"
        }
    }
)
tracing_context also accepts tags and metadata for fine-grained control:
with ls.tracing_context(
    project_name="email-agent-test",
    enabled=True,
    tags=["production", "email-assistant", "v1.0"],
    metadata={"user_id": "user_123", "session_id": "session_456", "environment": "production"}):
    response = agent.invoke(
        {"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Send a welcome email"}]}
    )
This custom metadata and tags will be attached to the trace in LangSmith.
