# Instrument Haystack

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Private preview.** This surface is not yet generally available. Adapters live in the Python SDK today and the rendering / configuration UX is under iteration. Contact <support@layerlens.ai> to request access to the private preview.
{% endhint %}

**When to use:** Haystack pipeline (RAG, search) and you want traces in Stratix.

The Stratix SDK does not currently ship a dedicated Haystack adapter. Use manual trace upload after each pipeline run.

```python
import json, uuid
from pathlib import Path
from layerlens import Stratix
client = Stratix()

# Run your Haystack pipeline
result = pipeline.run({"text_embedder": {"text": query}, "prompt_builder": {"query": query}})

# Build a trace record (data is flexible Dict[str, Any])
trace_record = {
 "id": str(uuid.uuid4()),
 "input": query,
 "output": result["llm"]["replies"][0] if "llm" in result else None,
 "data": {
 "haystack_pipeline_outputs": result,
 },
}

Path("haystack_trace.jsonl").write_text(json.dumps(trace_record))
client.traces.upload("haystack_trace.jsonl")
```

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.layerlens.ai/6.-build-wire-your-code/instrument-haystack.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
