- Cost management: Real-time spend tracking, cost optimization, and budget management for LLM usage
- Token analytics: Track consumption patterns, efficiency metrics, and usage optimization opportunities
- User interactions: Gain insights into user interactions, prompts, and completions for performance understanding
GenAI evaluations
- Quality assessment: Automated hallucination detection, factual accuracy verification, and content quality scoring
- Safety monitoring: Continuous toxicity detection, bias assessment, and compliance tracking for responsible AI
- Evaluation scoring: Confidence levels, quality gates, and automated quality assurance workflows
- Problem identification: Detailed analysis and categorization of AI model issues and failure patterns
GenAI Agent Observability
- Invocation tracking: Monitor total agent invocations, usage distribution by source, and percentage breakdown across your agentic AI systems
- Cost management: Real-time tracking of total agent costs in USD, per-agent cost breakdown, and cost attribution for budget optimization
- Performance monitoring: Track 95th percentile operation duration, average latency by agent and provider, and operation throughput rates
- Logs and debugging: Integrated agent logs with OpenTelemetry trace and span ID correlation for distributed tracing and root cause analysis
VectorDB observability
- Query performance: Monitor similarity search response times, throughput, and query optimization
- Database operations: Track insert, update, and delete operations across different vector database providers
- Resource utilization: Monitor memory usage, storage efficiency, and infrastructure scaling needs
- Index management: Track index building, optimization, and maintenance for optimal search performance
MCP observability
- Protocol health: Track session management, connection stability, and protocol compliance metrics
- Tool analytics: Monitor tool usage patterns, performance, and availability across your AI ecosystem
- Transport monitoring: Analyze communication performance across HTTP, WebSocket, and other transport layers
- Integration insights: Track tool invocation patterns, payload analysis, and system reliability
GPU observability
- Performance monitoring: Track GPU utilization, compute efficiency, and processing throughput
- Thermal management: Monitor temperatures, cooling systems, and prevent thermal throttling
