Event Sourcing Agent Decisions: Replaying Past Runs for Debugging

Event Sourcing Agent Decisions: Replaying Past Runs for Debugging

Record every agent decision as an immutable event, pair it with OTel GenAI traces, and replay past runs to reproduce and regression-test failures.

Dashboarding Agent Fleets: From Spans to Business Metrics

Dashboarding Agent Fleets: From Spans to Business Metrics

A pipeline for turning OpenTelemetry agent spans into the metrics leadership actually asks about — task success, cost per task, and escalation rate — without losing the drill-down to a single trace.

Trace Spans for Tool Calls: Instrumenting Function Execution

Trace Spans for Tool Calls: Instrumenting Function Execution

Instrument agent tool calls with OpenTelemetry spans: span structure, trace and span IDs, parent relationships, attributes versus events, status codes, wrapping sync and async tools, and the schema that makes tool spans queryable instead of just present.

Decision Logs as First-Class Data: Post-Mortems for Multi-Agent Systems

Decision Logs as First-Class Data: Post-Mortems for Multi-Agent Systems

Treat agent decisions as structured, queryable data using OpenTelemetry logs and traces — and turn post-mortems into an automated, evidence-driven practice.

Observability for Agents: Tracing Tool Calls and Reasoning

Observability for Agents: Tracing Tool Calls and Reasoning

An agent is a loop, not a single API call. Instrument it with OpenTelemetry AGENT/LLM/TOOL spans and a shared trace_id so you can attribute bad reasoning, slow dependencies, and tool failures.
