Agent Behavior Monitoring

Run real-time checks on your agents' behavior in production.

Agent behavior monitoring provides comprehensive observability and evaluation of your production agents. By combining tracing, scoring, alerting, and behaviors, you can track what your agents do, measure how well they perform, detect when they misbehave, and identify behavioral trends - all in real-time.

Tracing

Tracing captures all agent execution data using OpenTelemetry.

  • Auto-records LLM calls, tool usage, and metrics
  • Supports multi-agent and distributed systems
Tracing

Scoring

Evaluate agent quality with built-in scorers, custom logic, or LLM-as-judge.

  • Server-hosted execution with zero latency impact
  • Scores individual interactions or full traces
Scoring

Alerts

Alerts notify your team when behavior meets specific conditions.

  • Rules with frequency thresholds and cooldowns
  • Multi-channel notifications and automatic dataset routing
Alerts

Behaviors

Behaviors automatically groups similar traces into analyzable patterns.

  • Guided rubric generation for classification
  • Real-time routing with TracePromptScorers
Bucketing

Next Steps

Explore each component of agent behavior monitoring in detail:

  • Tracing - Deep dive into OpenTelemetry-based tracing, distributed tracing, and advanced instrumentation
  • Rules and Alerts - Configure sophisticated alerting rules with frequency thresholds, cooldowns, and multi-channel notifications
  • Behaviors - Set up automated behavior classification and pattern analysis
  • Custom Scorers - Build advanced scoring logic for your specific use cases
  • Prompt Scorers - Use LLM-as-judge patterns for flexible evaluation

Regression Testing

Use evals as regression tests in your CI pipelines.

Tracing

Track agent behavior and evaluate performance in real-time with OpenTelemetry-based tracing.
