Review Evaluator Results

5 minutes

After a few moments, we’ll see how the existing traces get automatically scored on the Context Adherence and Correctness evaluators. This is where a hallucinated dosage or a wrong tool call stops being invisible.

Wait for evaluators to be computed

Looking at the agent trace, we can see that evaluators are being computed for our traces:

Review the scores in the agent stream

In Splunk Agent Observability, return to the default agent stream and review the recent traces. Each trace now carries evaluator results alongside its spans.

Evaluator results on traces

We can see that one of the traces evaluated to False for both Context Adherence and Correctness. This is the trace that we sent earlier using the Log Hallucination button.

Let’s click on this trace and take a closer look.

Drill into a flagged trace

Click on the LLM Response span, and notice there are two new evaluator categories on the right-hand side of the screen: Output Quality, which includes the Correctness evaluator, and RAG Quality, which includes the Context Adherence evaluator.

If we hover over false beside the Context Adherence evaluator, we can see the rationale for why this span received this score.

In this case, it explains that the assistant gave a dosage of 100 mg daily and side effects of rashes, itching, and swelling, which directly contradicts the context and adds unsupported information.

Flagged trace detail

This type of finding turns “a patient complained” into “here is the specific request, the specific span, and the specific evaluator that caught it.”

Autotune Feedback

You may be wondering: what if an evaulator gets the evaluation wrong?

We can provide feedback on any evaluator by clicking the Add feedback button:

Add Feedback Button

And providing the Corrected value and Rationale:

Autotune Feedback

This human feedback helps improve how the evaluator evaluates similar cases over time, which ultimately ensures that the scoring becomes more aligned to our real standards.

The payoff

You now have an automated quality signal across all traffic. But evaluators only catch the problems you thought to measure. Next, you’ll use Signals to surface failure patterns you didn’t know to look for.

A medicine answer scores low on Context Adherence but the retrieval span shows the correct information was retrieved. What kind of problem is that, and why does it matter for Careful Health Provider?

It’s a hallucination / grounding problem: the right context was available, but the model’s answer wasn’t faithful to it. For a healthcare assistant that’s high-stakes: it’s exactly how a “take double the dose” answer happens, which is why you’ll add a runtime guardrail for it later.
