{{ "GraphQL::Tracing::Trace" | api_doc }} provides hooks to observe and modify events during runtime. Tracing hooks are methods, defined in modules and mixed in with {{ "Schema.trace_with" | api_doc }}.
```ruby
module CustomTrace
def parse(query_string:)
# measure, log, etc
super
end
# ...
end
```
To include a trace module when running queries, add it to the schema with `trace_with`:
```ruby
# Run `MyCustomTrace` for all queries
class MySchema < GraphQL::Schema
trace_with(MyCustomTrace)
end
```
For a full list of methods and their arguments, see {{ "GraphQL::Tracing::Trace" | api_doc }}.
By default, GraphQL-Ruby makes a new trace instance when it runs a query. You can pass an existing instance as `context: { trace: ... }`. Also, `GraphQL.parse( ..., trace: ...)` accepts a trace instance.
## Detailed Traces
You can capture detailed traces of query execution with {{ "Tracing::DetailedTrace" | api_doc }}. They can be viewed in Google's [Perfetto Trace Viewer](https://ui.perfetto.dev). They include a per-Fiber breakdown with links between fields and Dataloader sources.

Learn how to set it up in the {{ "Tracing::DetailedTrace" | api_doc }} docs.
## External Monitoring Platforms
There integrations for GraphQL-Ruby with several other monitoring systems:
- `ActiveSupport::Notifications`: See {{ "Tracing::ActiveSupportNotificationsTrace" | api_doc }}.
- [AppOptics](https://appoptics.com/) instrumentation is automatic in `appoptics_apm` v4.11.0+.
