When you select a trace from the list, you can open the [Waterfall view](https://voltagent.dev/observability-docs/tracing/waterfall/) or the [Node-Based view](https://voltagent.dev/observability-docs/tracing/node-based/) and then dig into [Logs](https://voltagent.dev/observability-docs/tracing/logs/) and [Feedback](htt... |
## Trace Filters |
Filters help you find the right trace fast. |
:::tip |
For example use: |
- Status + Duration to see where a failure started, |
- Token usage + Cost to catch expensive runs, and |
- User ID + Conversation ID to inspect a specific user flow. |
::: |
 |
<br/> |
- **Status**: isolate failed or retry-heavy runs. |
- **Agent ID / Entity type**: narrow down which agent or step is involved. |
- **Token usage / Cost**: find expensive or abnormal runs. |
- **Duration**: spot slow traces and latency outliers. |
- **Feedback source / key**: review feedback by source. |
- **User ID / Conversation ID**: drill into one user journey. |

# Actions & Triggers |
VoltOps Actions & Triggers connect your agents and workflows to external services: |
- **Triggers** determine when your agents start running - responding to messages, emails, database changes, or cron schedules |
- **Actions** push agent output to external systems - sending messages, creating records, or calling APIs |
Both share the same credential system in the VoltOps console, so you authenticate once and use everywhere. |

## Triggers |
Triggers monitor external services and execute your agents when events occur. |
| Provider | Description | Delivery Method | |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ | --------------- | |
| **Slack** | Monitor workspace messages and channels | Webhook | |
| **Gmail** | Watch for emails with specific labels | Polling | |
| **Google Calendar** | React to calendar events (created, updated, cancelled) | Polling | |
| **Google Drive** | Detect file or folder changes | Polling | |
| **Airtable** | Detect record changes in bases and tables | Polling | |
| **GitHub** | Respond to repository events (PRs, issues, commits) | Webhook | |
| **Schedule** | Execute on cron expressions | Time-based | |
See the [Triggers documentation](./triggers/overview.md) to get started. |
## Actions |
Actions send data from your agents to external systems with managed credentials. |
