The Tree view groups spans by parent-child relationships and sorts by duration so the slowest spans appear first. The Waterfall view places all spans on a single chronological axis, making it easy to identify parallelism and bottlenecks without leaving the log entry. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What new trace view options did Vercel add to Vercel Logs? Vercel Logs added Tree and Waterfall views for traces, alongside the existing Timeline view. The Tree view groups spans by parent and child relationship, sorting by duration on load so the slowest spans appear first. The Waterfall view places every span on one chronological axis, showing what ran in parallel and where time was lost, all visible directly within the log entry. _Debugging span timing and parallelism gets easier to track alongside other Vercel changes on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Explore for Spans: One View with Infinite Depth](https://daily.dev/posts/explore-for-spans-one-view-with-infinite-depth-lvu8sht5l) · Coralogix · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Search trace spans from the Vercel CLI](https://daily.dev/posts/search-trace-spans-from-the-vercel-cli-w2pftrdxb) · Vercel · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [From Fragmented Logs to Full-Stack Visibility with SolarWinds Papertrail](https://daily.dev/posts/from-fragmented-logs-to-full-stack-visibility-with-solarwinds-papertrail-qdzgzf7ff) · Heroku · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Logs filtering for Vercel Workflows now available](https://daily.dev/posts/logs-filtering-for-vercel-workflows-now-available-vzxnv8n7g) · Vercel · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Dynatrace Release Radar 09.26](https://daily.dev/posts/dynatrace-release-radar-09-26-plktxsavb) · Dynatrace · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#devops](https://daily.dev/tags/devops), [#observability](https://daily.dev/tags/observability), [#vercel](https://daily.dev/tags/vercel) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/traces-now-support-tree-and-waterfall-views-zfsg7ujyb) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Traces now support Tree and Waterfall views","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/traces-now-support-tree-and-waterfall-views-zfsg7ujyb","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/traces-now-support-tree-and-waterfall-views-zfsg7ujyb"},"datePublished":"2026-07-10T15:44:53.559Z","dateModified":"2026-09-14T07:25:05.635Z","description":"Vercel Logs now offers Tree and Waterfall views for traces in addition to the existing Timeline view.
