OpenLLMetry

OpenLLMetry is an open-source observability framework for LLM and generative AI applications, built on top of OpenTelemetry. Maintained by Traceloop under the Apache 2.0 license, it provides drop-in instrumentation for 30+ LLM providers, vector databases, and agent frameworks, and emits standardized GenAI traces over OTLP to any observability backend (Datadog, Grafana, Honeycomb, New Relic, Splunk, Langfuse, LangSmith, Braintrust, and the Traceloop platform). Its semantic conventions for LLMs have been upstreamed into the OpenTelemetry GenAI semantic conventions.

OpenLLMetry publishes 6 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include AI, LLM, Observability, Open Source, and OpenTelemetry.

OpenLLMetry’s developer surface includes documentation, engineering blog, getting-started guide, and 8 more developer resources.

  description: The Traceloop SDK is the developer-facing entry point for OpenLLMetry. A single Traceloop.init() call configures
    OpenTelemetry, registers all available LLM/vector-DB/framework instrumentations, and starts exporting GenAI traces to
    any OTLP endpoint. Provides @workflow, @task, @agent, and @tool decorators (and TypeScript equivalents) for higher-level
    tracing primitives, plus controls for prompt redaction, multi-modality content, user feedback, sessions, and prompt versioning.
