I鈥檝e heard rumors of the span view (with root spans only) becoming the unified view for projects moving forward. Is there a way to set this as a default today? The performance is so much better! I can even set my timeline to a week or more whereas before the trace view would chug and be painfully slow with our number of traces
Yes, Phoenix has introduced a root span filter that can be used to improve performance by focusing on root spans only. This feature is part of the enhancements in Phoenix 8.6+, which allows users to filter spans by root spans, making it easier to isolate and debug issues effectively. This filter can be applied to the spans table, providing a more performant view compared to the traditional traces view, especially when dealing with a large number of traces (source).To set this as a default, you can apply the root span filter in the spans table. This feature was designed to potentially become the default view due to its performance benefits (source). Would you like more details on how to apply this filter or any other aspect of using Phoenix?Sources: - https://docs.arize.com/phoenix/reference/release-notes#S%3A3 - https://github.com/Arize-ai/phoenix/pull/6624
馃挕聽Hint: Mention RunLLM in the thread for followups.
Thanks for the enthusiasm Ben! There is not yet a way to set this as the default per project, but you can deep link to the span tab now, where root spans mode is already enabled by default. if you bookmark /projects/<project_id>/spans for example
