Why Does This Matter?

  • OpenTelemetry (OTEL) Compatibility: Langtrace ensures your spans and traces are fully OTEL-compatible right out of the box. This compatibility provides richer metadata and deeper insights essential for debugging, optimizing performance, and understanding the interactions of your AI agents.

  • Quick and Easy Integration: Adding Langtrace to your OpenAI Agents SDK is incredibly simple. With just two lines of code, you can immediately start capturing detailed, valuable trace data.

  • No Vendor Lock-in: Designed with maximum flexibility, Langtrace supports OpenTelemetry, meaning you’re not restricted to a single observability vendor. Easily send your spans to OTEL-supported providers such as Elastic APM, Grafana Labs, Datadog, and others, maintaining complete freedom in your observability approach.

This release marks a major step forward in simplifying and enriching the tracing capabilities of your OpenAI agents, giving your team unparalleled depth of insight and flexibility in observability tooling. Get started today and discover how Langtrace enhances your OpenAI agent workflows!
