In this guide, you'll learn how to use the OpenLIT SDK to capture agent‑level telemetry and how to use Grafana Cloud to visualize every step.

Grafana is an open-source analytics and monitoring platform that allows users to visualize and analyze metrics from various data sources. The Grafana blog covers topics such as data visualization, monitoring best practices, and new features in Grafana software. Developers and data engineers can learn how to leverage Grafana for monitoring infrastructure, analyzing performance metrics, and creating interactive dashboards for data-driven decision-making.

A step-by-step guide to instrumenting AI agents with the OpenLIT SDK and visualizing telemetry in Grafana Cloud. Covers why traditional APM falls short for non-deterministic agent workloads, then walks through installing the AI Observability integration, adding OpenLIT to a CrewAI-based agent with a single `openlit.init()` call, forwarding OpenTelemetry traces and metrics via OTLP to Grafana Cloud, and exploring prebuilt dashboards for latency, token usage, cost tracking, and error analysis. Also highlights benefits like behavioral troubleshooting, cost optimization, and vendor-neutral instrumentation via OpenTelemetry standards.
