SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill resolves the difficulty of manually configuring OpenTelemetry tracing for AI agents, ensuring that conversation flows, tool calls, and latency metrics are accurately captured and visible within the Coval platform.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Instrumentation: Injects Coval-compatible OTLP exporters into existing agent telemetry providers.
  • Correlation Path Management: Automatically detects and configures the correct correlation headers (e.g., X-Simulation-Id) based on the agent's connection type.
  • Use Case: Use this to instrument a production voice agent to monitor STT/TTS latency and LLM tool-call performance without manually rewriting the core application logic.

Quick Start

Run the setup-tracing skill to automatically instrument my agent and verify the connection to Coval.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure OpenTelemetry tracing for AI agents?

Configure OpenTelemetry tracing for AI agents by injecting Coval-compatible OTLP exporters into existing telemetry providers, which automatically captures conversation flows, tool calls, and latency metrics. This standardizes span naming and batch processing to ensure reliable trace ingestion.

What is the best way to monitor LLM tool-call performance in production voice agents?

Monitoring LLM tool-call performance in production voice agents requires instrumenting the agent with standardized OpenTelemetry tracing. This captures latency metrics and conversation flows without manually rewriting core application logic, sending the data directly to the Coval platform.

Does OpenTelemetry instrumentation work with WebSocket and SIP voice agent architectures?

OpenTelemetry instrumentation works with WebSocket and SIP voice agent architectures, alongside PSTN and chat services. It automatically detects the connection type and configures the correct correlation headers, such as X-Simulation-Id, to ensure reliable trace ingestion.

How do I track STT and TTS latency for AI voice services?

Track STT and TTS latency for AI voice services by setting up automated tracing instrumentation. This captures latency metrics and correlates them with conversation flows using injected correlation headers, making the performance data visible within the Coval observability platform.

Can I add observability to my AI agent without rewriting core application logic?

You can add observability to your AI agent without rewriting core application logic by running automated instrumentation. This injects OTLP exporters into existing telemetry providers and manages correlation paths, capturing performance metrics seamlessly.
