Streaming traces are live by default.
Until today, traces showed up in your dashboard about 3 seconds after the trace closed. As of this release, every span streams to the dashboard within 800ms of its start — meaning you can watch a long-running agent run live as it happens, without waiting for it to finish.
What's new
- Live trace tail in dashboard with sub-second latency, default-on for all Pro and Enterprise tiers
- New
--followflag in CLI that streams traces in real time, including streaming LLM token chunks - Live waterfall visualization that updates as nested spans complete
- Backwards-compatible — no SDK upgrade required for the streaming UI to work
// new in v2.4 — follow a trace as it runs
$ yourbusiness trace --follow agent-7c4e
→ streaming live trace from production…
Migration notes
Existing traces continue to work as-is. The streaming feature is opt-out via your project settings if you'd rather keep the old batched UI for now. We'll remove that toggle in v3.0 (Q4 2026).
