## AI overview

Vercel Logs adds Tree and Waterfall views for traces, exposing span hierarchies, critical paths, timing, parallel work, and slow spans within a log entry.

## Source excerpt

Traces in Vercel Logs now support Tree and Waterfall views. See span hierarchy, critical path, and timing without leaving the log entry. The Tree view groups spans by parent and child. On load, spans are sorted by duration so the slowest appear first. The Waterfall view places every span on one chronological axis, showing what ran in parallel and where time was lost.
