# Observe and troubleshoot

Use analytics to review activity across your agents, then explore agents and individual conversations to investigate what happened.

1. [Monitor agents with analytics](/docs/grafana-cloud/observe-and-act/agent-observability/observe-and-troubleshoot/dashboards) to monitor activity, performance, quality, and cost.
2. [Use the agent catalog](/docs/grafana-cloud/observe-and-act/agent-observability/observe-and-troubleshoot/agent-catalog) to review agents, versions, and prompt changes.
3. [Browse and debug conversations](/docs/grafana-cloud/observe-and-act/agent-observability/observe-and-troubleshoot/conversations) to inspect responses, tool calls, failures, and linked traces.
4. [Optimize cost and performance](/docs/grafana-cloud/observe-and-act/agent-observability/observe-and-troubleshoot/cost-optimization) to investigate usage and efficiency.
5. [Configure your model prices](/docs/grafana-cloud/observe-and-act/agent-observability/observe-and-troubleshoot/model-prices) to investigate costs with the prices you pay.

When you find examples you want to test again, refer to [Evaluate and improve](/docs/grafana-cloud/observe-and-act/agent-observability/evaluate-and-improve).

- [Monitor agents with analytics](/docs/grafana-cloud/observe-and-act/agent-observability/observe-and-troubleshoot/dashboards/)  
  Monitor agent activity, performance, cost, and quality using the Agent Observability analytics dashboards.
- [Use the agent catalog](/docs/grafana-cloud/observe-and-act/agent-observability/observe-and-troubleshoot/agent-catalog/)  
  Monitor agent versions, track tool and prompt changes, and compare performance across agents in the Agent Observability agent catalog.
- [Browse and debug conversations](/docs/grafana-cloud/observe-and-act/agent-observability/observe-and-troubleshoot/conversations/)  
  Search, filter, and drill into conversations to understand what your agents did, where they failed, and how they performed.
- [Optimize cost and performance](/docs/grafana-cloud/observe-and-act/agent-observability/observe-and-troubleshoot/cost-optimization/)  
  Use Agent Observability data to reduce LLM costs, improve cache efficiency, and tune agent performance.
- [Configure your model prices](/docs/grafana-cloud/observe-and-act/agent-observability/observe-and-troubleshoot/model-prices/)  
  Set the prices you pay for LLM models so Agent Observability cost figures match your contract.
