Traces that are sent to a project are automatically indexed for metrics. This lets you quickly identify areas of poor performance. Each dashboard by default includes:

- **Traces** over time
- **Trace Latency** percentiles
- **Cost** estimated in USD
- **Top models by cost**
- **Top models by tokens**
- **Token usage** by prompt and completion
- **Prompt token details** by input, cache, and audio parts
- **Completion token details** including output, reasoning, and audio parts
- **LLM span counts** over time
- **LLM spans with errors** over time
- **Tool span counts** over time
- **Tool spans with errors** over time
- **Average Span annotation scores**
- **Average trace annotation scores**
- **Average session annotation scores**

<Info>
  If you need custom alerting and dashboards on top of your trace data, including metrics tailored for non-developer stakeholders, [Arize AX's Dashboards supports these additional features](https://arize.com/docs/ax/observe/dashboards).
