What Is a Session?
A session is a complete AI interaction. When someone chats with an AI assistant, runs a multi-step automation, or uses an AI-powered tool, Velatir captures the whole exchange as a session. Sessions are the main way you monitor AI usage. Each session contains one or more traces, the individual requests, responses, and events that make up the interaction.How Sessions Work
An interaction begins
Someone starts using an AI service, for example opening a conversation or triggering an AI-powered workflow.
Traces are captured
Each request, response, and event is captured as a trace and grouped into the session automatically.
Agents review each trace
As traces arrive, your active agents review each one. The session view shows the overall state and highlights anything that was flagged.
The session reflects its traces
The session shows when a trace needs attention, such as one that was blocked or notified to a channel.
Viewing Sessions
In the dashboard, open Sessions to see activity across your workspaces.- Filter by service, status, origin, and more, and save views you return to often.
- Open a session to see its traces in order.
- Select a trace to see each agent’s assessment and the outcome.
- Select Back to return to the sessions overview, however many traces you opened along the way.
- The Use cases column shows what each session was used for. Select one to open the Session summary. See Use cases.
Services on a session
Each session shows the service it used. A mark next to each service name shows whether it is declared in your inventory or is Shadow AI. Filter with Service type (declared or undeclared) and Service risk (services with criticals, cautions, or treatments). Select a service name to view its details or declare it.Tool calls
When an assistant runs several tools in a row, those calls collapse into one line that reads, for example, 4 tool calls. Select it to expand the group and see each call. The line also shows how many of the calls were blocked, flagged, or escalated, so anything that needs attention stays visible while the group is collapsed.Traces
