LangSmith can capture traces generated by AutoGen using OpenTelemetry instrumentation. This guide shows you how to automatically capture traces from your AutoGen multi-agent conversations and send them to LangSmith for monitoring and analysis.
In an agent-based workspace, create an agent once before sending traces. Use agent addressing to select its identifier and environment. If an integration requires project_name, use the selected environment’s tracer_session_name as a compatibility value.

Installation

Install the required packages using your preferred package manager:

Setup

1. Configure environment variables

Sending traces to an agent requires langsmith>=0.14.9. Set your API keys, agent identifier, and environment:

2. Configure OpenTelemetry integration

In your AutoGen agent, configure the LangSmith OpenTelemetry integration along with the OpenAI instrumentor:

3. Create and run your AutoGen agent

Once configured, your AutoGen agent will automatically send traces to LangSmith. Pass the tracer provider to the runtime for full tracing coverage:

Advanced usage

Custom metadata and tags

You can add custom metadata to your traces by setting span attributes:

Combining with other instrumentors

You can combine AutoGen tracing with other OpenTelemetry instrumentors:
