GenAI Observability in Grafana Cloud: End-to-End Agent Debugging (Demo)

From Observability for GenAI Applications (Grafana OpenTelemetry Community Call) We drill into traces to see which agents called which tools, where errors occurred, how long each LLM call took, and how costs and tokens are distributed. The walkthrough also covers using AI assistance to summarize long traces and identify optimization opportunities in real time..

Observability for GenAI Applications (Grafana OpenTelemetry Community Call)

In this episode, we’re diving into observability for Generative AI apps. AI helps us write code and monitor applications in production - but how do we observe the AI itself? And how do we make sense of complex, non-deterministic AI systems? We’re joined by two great guests: Ishan Jain, working on GenAI observability and Luccas Quadros, working on Grafana Assistant. Together, they bring both platform-level insights and real-world perspectives.
