LLM Monitoring and Observability: Metrics, Traces, and Alerts

Introduction: LLM applications are notoriously difficult to debug. Unlike traditional software where errors are obvious, LLM issues manifest as subtle quality degradation, unexpected costs, or slow responses. Proper observability is essential for production LLM systems. This guide covers monitoring strategies: tracking latency, tokens, and costs; implementing distributed tracing for complex chains; structured logging for debugging; […]
