MLflow Tracing - GenAI observability
MLflow Tracing is a powerful feature that provides end-to-end observability for GenAI applications, including complex agent-based systems. It records inputs, outputs, intermediate steps, and metadata to give you a complete picture of how your app behaves.

Tracing allows you to:
- Debug and understand your application
- Monitor performance and optimize cost
- Monitor production applications
- Evaluate and enhance application quality
- Ensure auditability and compliance
- Integrate tracing with many popular third-party frameworks
- Use natural language with Databricks Assistant to analyze, debug, and explore trace data
