·2026.11.06 09:00

Key point

The new Traces page supports KQL search and live streaming, while retention increases to 3 days for Hobby and 14 days for Pro and Enterprise plans.

Details

  • Vercel Tracing is now generally available on all plans with unchanged pricing, adding a dedicated Traces page for searching and inspecting spans across a project or team.
  • New Next.js 16.5 projects on Vercel with Node.js functions automatically enable tracing after the first successful build, injecting instrumentation to capture framework spans with 100% sampling.
  • Trace retention periods increase significantly from beta levels: Hobby plans retain traces for 3 days (up from 1 hour), Pro for 14 days (up from 1 day), and Enterprise for 14 days (up from 3 days).
  • Dashboard and CLI queries use Kibana Query Language (KQL) interchangeably, allowing users to filter by attributes like span.name and span.duration.
  • Users can opt out of automatic tracing by removing all sampling rules in the project settings.
