Fraim provides comprehensive observability capabilities through Langfuse integration, enabling you to monitor, trace, and analyze your AI-powered security workflows in real-time.

​
Overview

Observability in Fraim helps you:
  • Track workflow execution - Monitor the performance and progress of your security workflows
  • Debug LLM interactions - Inspect prompts, responses, and token usage across different AI models
  • Analyze performance - Identify bottlenecks and optimize your workflows
  • Monitor costs - Track API usage and costs across different LLM providers

​
Installation

​
For Development (Git Clone Users)

If you’ve cloned the Fraim repository and are using uv for development: 
# Install Fraim with observability dependencies
uv sync --group langfuse

​
For Production (PyPI Users) [Coming Soon]

If you’re installing Fraim as a package: 
# Install Fraim with optional observability support
pip install fraim[langfuse]

​
Configuration

​
Langfuse Setup

Choose between hosted (Langfuse Cloud) or self-hosted (Docker) deployment:

​
Option 1: Langfuse Cloud (Hosted)

The easiest way to get started with observability:
  1. Create a Langfuse account at langfuse.com
  2. Create a new project in the Langfuse dashboard
  3. Get your API credentials from the project settings:
    • Public Key
    • Secret Key
  4. Configure environment variables: 
# Add to your .env file or environment
LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY=pk-lf-...
LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY=sk-lf-...
LANGFUSE_HOST=https://cloud.langfuse.com  # Optional, defaults to cloud

​
Option 2: Self-hosted Langfuse (Docker)

For enhanced privacy and control, run Langfuse in your own infrastructure using Docker:
  1. Clone the Langfuse repository:
git clone https://github.com/langfuse/langfuse.git
cd langfuse
  1. Start the services using their Docker Compose:
docker-compose up -d
  1. Access Langfuse:
Open the Langfuse dashboard in your browser at http://localhost:3000.
  1. Create your first project
Register an account (this is local to your self-hosted instance), create a new project, and get API keys for that project.
  1. Configure environment variables:
# Add to your .env file or environment
LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY=pk-lf-...
LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY=sk-lf-...
LANGFUSE_HOST=http://localhost:3000  # Your self-hosted instance

​
Usage

Enable observability when running Fraim workflows by passing the --observability langfuse flag. For example, to enable observability for a code security analysis: 
# Enable observability for a code security analysis
uv run fraim --observability langfuse code --location /code

​
Troubleshooting

​
Common Issues

​
Observability Not Working

# Check if langfuse is installed
uv run python -c "import langfuse; print('Langfuse available')"

# Verify environment variables
echo $LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY
echo $LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY

​
Missing Traces

  • Ensure --observability langfuse flag is provided
  • Check network connectivity to Langfuse host
  • Verify API credentials are correct
