Documentation
README · ~17 min readGenAI Instrumentation for Honeycomb
Instrumenting LLM and agent applications using OTel Semantic Conventions for GenAI (currently v1.40.0, Development status). For conceptual foundations, see the observability-fundamentals skill.
Base OTEL Setup (Required First)
BEFORE implementing GenAI instrumentation, ensure your base OpenTelemetry configuration is complete.
Use the otel-instrumentation skill to configure all standard OTEL environment variables (OTEL_SERVICE_NAME, OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT, OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS, OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_PROTOCOL, signal-specific endpoints, etc.) and verify basic spans are flowing to Honeycomb.
GenAI instrumentation adds GenAI-specific configuration on top of that base setup.
