Debug Production Issues with LangWatch

A structured diagnostic workflow: errored traces → span inspection → monitor/evaluator scores → root cause. Work the steps in order; each narrows the search space for the next.

If traces themselves look broken (empty inputs/outputs, disconnected spans), switch to the debug-instrumentation recipe instead. That is an instrumentation problem, not an application problem.

Prerequisites

Use langwatch docs <path> to read documentation as Markdown. Some useful entry points:

langwatch docs                                    # Docs index
langwatch docs integration/python/guide           # Python integration
langwatch docs integration/typescript/guide       # TypeScript integration
langwatch docs prompt-management/cli              # Prompts CLI
langwatch scenario-docs                           # Scenario docs index

Discover commands with langwatch --help and langwatch <subcommand> --help. List and get commands accept --format json for machine-readable output. Read the docs first instead of guessing SDK APIs or CLI flags.
