In the search pane, select `vllm-server` service and hit `Find Traces`. You should get a list of traces, one for each request.

1. Clicking on a trace will show its spans and their tags. In this demo, each trace has 2 spans. One from the dummy client containing the prompt text and one from vLLM containing metadata about the request.

## Exporter Protocol
OpenTelemetry supports either `grpc` or `http/protobuf` as the transport protocol for trace data in the exporter.
By default, `grpc` is used. To set `http/protobuf` as the protocol, configure the `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TRACES_PROTOCOL` environment variable as follows:
This is a simple example that shows you how to connect vLLM metric logging to the Prometheus/Grafana stack. For this example, we launch Prometheus and Grafana via Docker. You can checkout other methods through [Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/) and [Grafana](https://grafana.com/) websites.
Navigating to [`http://localhost:8000/metrics`](http://localhost:8000/metrics) will show the raw Prometheus metrics being exposed by vLLM.
### Grafana Dashboard
Navigate to [`http://localhost:3000`](http://localhost:3000). Log in with the default username (`admin`) and password (`admin`).
#### Add Prometheus Data Source
Navigate to [`http://localhost:3000/connections/datasources/new`](http://localhost:3000/connections/datasources/new) and select Prometheus.
On Prometheus configuration page, we need to add the `Prometheus Server URL` in `Connection`. For this setup, Grafana and Prometheus are running in separate containers, but Docker creates DNS name for each containers. You can just use `http://prometheus:9090`.
Click `Save & Test`. You should get a green check saying "Successfully queried the Prometheus API.".
#### Import Dashboard
Navigate to [`http://localhost:3000/dashboard/import`](http://localhost:3000/dashboard/import), upload `grafana.json`, and select the `prometheus` datasource. You should see a screen that looks like the following:
{% for message in messages %}{{'<|im_start|>' + message['role'] + '\n' + message['content']}}{% if (loop.last and add_generation_prompt) or not loop.last %}{{ '<|im_end|>' + '\n'}}{% endif %}{% endfor %}
{% if add_generation_prompt and messages[-1]['role'] != 'assistant' %}{{ '<|im_start|>assistant\n' }}{% endif %}
