Hey @siddartha-10, I'm here to help you with any bugs, questions, or contributions. Let's tackle this issue together!

To manage traces effectively and prevent a messy Langfuse dashboard, consider the following steps:

1. Ensure Proper Flushing: In short-lived environments, make sure to call the flush() method before the application exits to ensure all events are sent to Langfuse. This prevents any traces from being left unflushed ^[1].

2. Use Data Retention: Configure the data retention settings in Langfuse to automatically clean up old traces. This feature allows you to specify a retention period, after which traces are automatically deleted, helping to keep your dashboard organized ^[2].

3. Check Context Propagation: If you're using Python’s ThreadPoolExecutors or ProcessPoolExecutors, ensure that context variables are correctly propagated to new threads or processes. This can prevent traces from being incorrectly associated with the wrong context ^[3].

4. Review Trace Configuration: Double-check your trace configuration to ensure that only relevant traces are being captured and scored. This can help reduce clutter and focus on the most important data.

5. Manual Trace Management: Regularly review and manually manage traces to archive or delete those that are no longer needed.

By following these practices, you can maintain a cleaner and more organized Langfuse dashboard.
