Observe your AI agents: End‑to‑end tracing with OpenLIT and Grafana Cloud

This article details how to gain comprehensive observability into AI agents using OpenLIT and Grafana Cloud. It explains that traditional monitoring isn’t sufficient for these complex, non-deterministic systems and introduces OpenLIT as an SDK that automatically captures detailed telemetry – including reasoning paths, tool calls, and costs – as OpenTelemetry spans and metrics. By integrating with Grafana Cloud's pre-built dashboards, users can track performance, optimize costs, debug issues, and ensure quality across their AI agent workflows.
