Debugging and solving performance problems with Traces
Do your workflows sometimes grow into massive structures too? Debugging isn't much fun there 🙃
Luckily, n8n now offers Traces ⬇️
With the help of Traces, debugging becomes easier, since you get information not only about the behavior of the entire workflow, but of EVERY single node.
Performance problems can also be uncovered very easily this way. A workflow takes several minutes and you don't know why? With Traces, it's clear at a glance that the HTTP Request to a slow external service is being called multiple times unnecessarily.
The same goes for AI Agents. How did your agents communicate with each other in a specific run? You know the answer 🙂 Traces
On the Grafana Template page, you'll now find a dashboard for this, including an example setup:
