Why Aren't My LangSmith Trace Logs Appearing in Colab?

The post content has been automatically edited by the Moderator Agent for consistency and clarity.

I'm new to LangChain and LangSmith and I'm facing an issue with tracking code logs in LangSmith while running my project in Colab.

I don't see any trace logs appearing even though everything seems to run correctly. Here is the code I'm using:

PYTHON
from langchain_core.documents import Document from langchain.chains.combine_documents import create_stuff_documents_chain from langchain_community.document_loaders import WebBaseLoader from langchain.text_splitter import CharacterTextSplitter from langchain.prompts import ChatPromptTemplate from langchain_community.vectorstores.faiss import FAISS from langchain_openai import AzureOpenAIEmbeddings import logging from langchain.chains import create_retrieval_chain from langsmith import Client from langchain_core.messages import HumanMessage, AIMessage from langchain_core.prompts import MessagesPlaceholder def get_document_from_web(url): logging.getLogger("langchain_text_splitters.base").setLevel(logging.ERROR) loader = WebBaseLoader(url) docs = loader.load() splitter = CharacterTextSplitter( chunk_size=400, chunk_overlap=20 ) splitDocs = splitter.split_documents(docs) return splitDocs def create_db(docs): embeddings = AzureOpenAIEmbeddings( model="text-embedding-3-large", azure_endpoint="https://langing.openai.azure.com/openai/deployments/Embed-test/embeddings?api-version=2023-05-15", openai_api_key="xxx", openai_api_version="2023-05-15" ) vectorStore = FAISS.from_documents(docs, embeddings) return vectorStore def create_chain(vectorStore): prompt = ChatPromptTemplate.from_messages([ ("system", "Answet the quistion based on the following context: {context}"), MessagesPlaceholder(variable_name="chat_history"), ("human", "{input}") ]) chain = create_stuff_documents_chain(llm=model, prompt=prompt) retriever = vectorStore.as_retriever(search_kwargs = {"k":3}) retriever_chain = create_retrieval_chain( retriever, chain ) return retriever_chain def process_chat(chain, question,chat_history): response = chain.invoke({ "input": question, "chat_history": chat_history }) return response["answer"] chat_history = [] if __name__ == "__main__": docs =get_document_from_web("https://docs.smith.langchain.com/evaluation/concepts") vectoreStore = create_db(docs) chain = create_chain(vectoreStore) while True: user_input = input("You: ") if user_input.lower() == "exit": break response = process_chat(chain, user_input, chat_history) chat_history.append(HumanMessage(content= user_input)) chat_history.append(AIMessage(content = response)) print("Bot:", response)

Despite the code running successfully, no logs are sent to LangSmith. I've tried all the suggested steps I could find online, but nothing seems to work. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue with logging in LangSmith?

It sounds like your code isn’t sending any trace logs to LangSmith. One common reason for this is that the tracing environment variables might not be correctly set. When using LangSmith, you need to enable tracing (for example, by setting LANGCHAIN_TRACING_V2 to "true") and provide your LangChain API key via the LANGCHAIN_API_KEY environment variable.

For example, in a Colab cell you could add:

PYTHON
import os import getpass os.environ["LANGCHAIN_TRACING_V2"] = "true" os.environ["LANGCHAIN_API_KEY"] = getpass.getpass("Enter your LangChain API key:")

A couple of things to double-check:

  1. Tracing Variables: Ensure that these environment variables are defined before you invoke any chains. They must be set at the start of your session so that all subsequent LLM calls and chain executions get logged.

  2. Usage of LangSmith Client: Although you imported Client from langsmith, you’re not actively using it. LangChain’s built-in tracing integration automatically sends requests when the environment variables are set. You might not see any trace logs if the requests never make it to the API due to a key error or if tracing isn’t activated in your LLM. Check that your API key is valid.

  3. Logging and Instrumentation: Some chains or custom setups may not automatically send logs if they aren’t fully instrumented. Ensure that you’re using a supported LLM instance and that your chain construction (e.g., via create_stuff_documents_chain and create_retrieval_chain) is handling tracing properly.

If you’ve already set the environment variables and your API key is correct, it may help to add some debugging or check the LangSmith dashboard for any sign of incoming requests. Sometimes delays can occur, or if there’s an error related to your API key or network configuration, traces might not show up.

By ensuring these settings are in place and active before you run your chain, you should start to see traces logged in LangSmith.

Hope that helps!
