To add a new tracing provider to Agent Kernel, implement the BaseTrace interface, create framework-specific traced runners for OpenAI or LangGraph, update the trace factory, and manage the necessary configuration and dependencies.

Yes, you can integrate a custom in-house observability system by implementing the BaseTrace interface and updating the trace factory to route telemetry data to your existing backend for monitoring agent operations.

The guide covers creating traced runners for OpenAI, LangGraph, CrewAI, and Google ADK, ensuring your new tracing provider captures telemetry across these specific execution frameworks.

The BaseTrace interface defines the contract for capturing tracing data, requiring you to implement its methods and register the implementation in the trace factory to enable monitoring for agent operations.

Yes, adding a new tracing backend requires updating dependencies to include the provider's SDK, modifying configuration files, and writing tests to verify the observability integration works correctly.

The best way to test a new tracing provider is to follow the configuration and testing details in the guide, ensuring your custom BaseTrace implementation correctly captures telemetry from the framework-specific runners.
