SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Implement comprehensive observability for Microsoft Agent Framework agents, enabling reliable tracing, metrics, and logs to diagnose performance and reliability issues.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • OpenTelemetry integration for traces, metrics, and logs across agent invocations, tool executions, and workflow steps.
  • Aspire dashboard compatibility for centralized observability and visualization.
  • Structured logging and code instrumentation patterns to simplify debugging and performance tuning.

Quick Start

Configure telemetry in your agent by creating a TelemetryConfig and instantiate AgentRuntime with this config, then run your agent to collect traces, metrics, and logs.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add OpenTelemetry tracing and metrics to Microsoft Agent Framework agents?

You add OpenTelemetry tracing and metrics to Microsoft Agent Framework agents by creating a TelemetryConfig and passing it to the AgentRuntime instantiation, enabling end-to-end observability across agent invocations, tool executions, and workflow steps.

Can I visualize Microsoft Agent Framework telemetry using the Aspire dashboard?

Yes, you can visualize Microsoft Agent Framework telemetry using the Aspire dashboard for centralized observability, allowing you to monitor traces, metrics, and structured logs collected from your agent deployments.

What is the best way to debug performance issues in agent workflows?

The best way to debug performance issues in agent workflows is to configure structured logging and code instrumentation patterns within the agent framework observability modules, capturing traces and metrics to pinpoint reliability bottlenecks.

Do I need external dependencies to collect logs and traces from agent tool executions?

No external dependencies are required to collect logs and traces from agent tool executions, as the Skill configures telemetry directly through the Microsoft Agent Framework observability modules without additional packages.

How does structured logging work with Microsoft Agent Framework observability?

Structured logging works by applying code instrumentation patterns via TelemetryConfig during AgentRuntime setup, capturing detailed execution data from agent invocations and workflow steps to simplify debugging and performance tuning.
