GenAI Agent Observability
GenAI Agent Observability provides comprehensive monitoring for AI agent systems including invocation tracking, cost analysis, performance metrics, and operational insights across your agentic AI applications.
Overview
The Agent Observability dashboard monitors AI agent applications, offering insights into:
- Invocation monitoring - Total invocations, distribution by source, and usage patterns
- Cost analysis - Real-time spend tracking and per-agent cost breakdown
- Performance analytics - Operation duration, latency percentiles, and throughput rates
- Provider insights - Performance comparison across LLM providers
- Operational logs - Agent interaction logs with distributed tracing correlation
Key features
This dashboard provides panels for invocation traction, cost management, performance monitoring, and logs and debugging.
