What is LLM Observability?
LLM Observability provides deep visibility into your AI applications—understanding not just what happened, but why and how to improve.
Definition
LLM Observability is the practice of monitoring, tracing, and analyzing Large Language Model applications to ensure quality, performance, and cost-effectiveness in production.
Why It Matters
Raw observability data is useless without evaluation. Agents generate 1000+ traces daily - impossible to review manually. You need AI-powered eval to pinpoint exact errors with reasoning.
AI-Specific Metrics
Track metrics that matter for AI: token usage, model costs, response quality, semantic accuracy, hallucination rates, and latency patterns.
Beyond Traditional APM
Traditional monitoring tracks requests. LLM observability tracks meaning, quality, and the reasoning behind every AI decision.
Traditional APM vs LLM Observability
| Metric | Traditional APM | LLM Observability |
|---|---|---|
| Token Usage Tracking | ||
| Cost Attribution | ||
| Response Quality Scoring | ||
| Latency Monitoring | ||
| Error & Failure Analysis | AI Evals |
