Tracing enhances the observability of guardrails execution. This section explains the configuration process for implementing tracing with NeMo Guardrails.

With tracing, you can:

• Track which rails are activated during conversations.

• Monitor LLM calls and their performance.

• Debug flow execution and identify bottlenecks.

• Analyze conversation patterns and errors.
