Waterfall View

Use Waterfall to understand timing and execution order. It shows spans as a hierarchy so you can see where time is spent, how retries fan out, and which step failed first.

Use Waterfall when you need the root cause of a failure or a latency spike. The details panel gives the context you need to confirm tool usage, memory behavior, and LLM settings without digging through logs.

Key signals to check:

• Failure path: error badges + child spans to see the first break and its causes.
• Latency hotspots: duration bars and timing to find the slowest steps.
• Model context: input/output and UI vs model messages to verify prompts and responses.
• Configuration: LLM config, memory config, and knowledge base usage for this span.
