As organizations increasingly adopt Large Language Models (LLMs) and other generative AI technologies, ensuring reliable performance, efficiency, and safety is essential to meet user expectations, optimize resource costs, and safeguard against unintended outputs. Effective observability for AI operations, behaviors, and outcomes can help meet these goals. OpenTelemetry is being enhanced to support these needs specifically for generative AI. Two primary assets are in development to make this p...| OpenTelemetry
Status: Stable for the trace, metric and log signals. Development for the profiles signal. The OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP) specification describes the encoding, transport, and delivery mechanism of telemetry data between telemetry sources, intermediate nodes such as collectors and telemetry backends. OTLP is a general-purpose telemetry data delivery protocol designed in the scope of the OpenTelemetry project. Protocol Details OTLP defines the encoding of telemetry data and the protocol used...| OpenTelemetry
