Agents within the BeeAI platform can be instrumented using the OpenTelemetry standard.

Traces from instrumented agents can be collected and sent to the Arize Phoenix observability backend for storage and visualization.

To visualize agent traces:

1

Enable Arize Phoenix

Start the platform with Arize Phoenix enabled:

beeai platform start --set phoenix.enabled=true
2

Run an instrumented agent

Execute the following command to run an example chat agent:

beeai run chat "Hello"
3

View traces in Phoenix GUI

Open http://localhost:6006 in your browser and navigate to the default project to explore the collected traces.

For an enhanced user experience, consider instrumenting agents according to the OpenInference standard.
