As organizations rapidly scale their use of large language models (LLMs), many teams are adopting LiteLLM to simplify access to a diverse set of LLM providers and models. LiteLLM provides a unified interface through both an SDK and proxy to speed up development, centralize control, and optimize LLM-powered workflows. But introducing a proxy layer adds abstraction, making it harder to understand how requests are processed.

When an error occurs, developers need to act quickly. But too often, they’re left searching through stack traces without enough context to understand what happened, who owns the code, or what change may have introduced the issue. This slows down triage, creates inefficient handoffs, and takes time away from building new features.

We’ve covered how to get LangChain traces up and running. But even when everything’s instrumented, traces can still go missing, show up half-broken, or look nothing like what you expected. This guide is about what happens after setup, when traces exist, but something’s off.

When a container misbehaves, logs are the first place to look. Whether you're debugging a crash, tracking API errors, or verifying app behavior—docker logs gives you direct access to what's happening inside. This blog covers the full workflow: how to retrieve logs, filter them by time or service, and set up logging for production environments.

Earlier this year, Auvik released our annual IT Trends Report, spotlighting some of the key changes for network management, MSP, and IT practitioners. We know the market and its ups and downs can have a huge impact on the success of MSPs, so we’re bringing you a roll-up of key statistics and findings related to MSP specifically. Read on to see what we found.

LLM-powered agents are reshaping software, but when they fail, troubleshooting is guesswork. Lumigo’s new AI Agent Observability, now in beta, gives you visibility into the entire lifecycle of your agents, from prompt to response to internal decision logic. Built for modern AI workloads, this feature is designed to help engineers monitor, debug, and optimize agents running on platforms like OpenAI, Anthropic, and open-source models.

When we talk to new Honeycomb users, a few things stand out as sounding downright magical. Sometimes we’ll hear, “Wow, is that a new feature?” and we’ll say that no, it’s been like that for years. Clearly we need to get the word out! This is the first installment of a blog series I’ll be writing, covering areas of Honeycomb that elicit reactions of awe and disbelief from new users.

Today, I’ll be covering how AWS tags can help you keep track of and monitor your AWS billing costs with the granularity and depth needed to reduce and optimize your AWS costs.

‍ We're not witnessing the end of observability, we're witnessing its evolution into something far more powerful. The observability industry is having its Moneyball moment. Just like Billy Beane revolutionized baseball by using data analytics to compete with teams that had vastly larger budgets, observability is undergoing a fundamental transformation.

A lot can change in three years. The world of 2022 was a quite different place. Queen Elizabeth II was the longest-serving living monarch, the world population hadn’t yet cracked eight billion, and many of us were still emerging from the strangeness of the Covid years. Meanwhile, at HAProxyConf 2022, we unveiled HAProxy Fusion Control Plane for the first time.
