LLM observability

Prompt logging, cost tracking, and audit trail via Langfuse, LangSmith, and more

Agentgateway can send LLM telemetry to specialized observability platforms for prompt logging (request/response logging), cost tracking, audit trail, and performance monitoring.

How it works

Agentgateway exports LLM telemetry via OpenTelemetry, which can be forwarded to LLM-specific observability platforms. These platforms provide the following.

  • Prompt/response logging - Full request and response capture (also known as request logging, audit trail).
  • Token usage tracking - Monitor costs across models and users (also known as cost tracking, spend monitoring).
  • Latency analytics - Track response times and identify bottlenecks.
  • Evaluation - Score and evaluate LLM outputs.
  • Prompt management - Version and manage prompts.

Configuration

Set up OpenTelemetry tracing to export LLM-specific telemetry. See the OpenTelemetry stack setup guide for details.

Agentgateway automatically includes these LLM-specific trace attributes.
