Logging and Tracing

Palico provides tracing with OpenTelemetry. We provide traces out-of-the-box, but you can also add your own custom traces. You can view all your traces in Palico Studio

Adding Custom Traces

You can add custom traces using OpenTelemetry. Here's an example of adding traces to a call from OpenAI API.

import { tracer } from "@palico-ai/app";

// 1. Create a new tracer
const tracer = getTracer('ChatbotAgent');

const newConversation = async (message: string) => {
  // 2. Start a new span
  return tracer.trace("OpenAIConversation", async (span) => {
    // 3. Add attributes to the span
    span.setAttribute("message", message);

    const response = await openaiClient.chat.completions.create({
        model: "gpt-3.5-turbo",
        messages: [
          // ... your prompts
        ],
      });;
    const responseMessage = response.choices[0].message.content
    
    // additonal attributes
    span.setAttribute("LLM reply", responseMessage)
    return response;
  });
};
