Overview
Agentic observability presents a shift from monitoring to autonomous action. While traditional tools alert you to problems, agentic systems can use AI to reason through telemetry, investigate root causes, and execute fixes independently. What does this mean for you?
Join a host of experts to explore the cutting edge of this field. We will dive into real-world guardrails and compare the latest toolsets to show you what’s possible right now.
What you’ll learn and how you can apply it
- Bring real observability into your AI stack, without needing a PhD in tracing or LLM internals
- Understand what’s hard about solving incidents with AI and why this problem can be underestimated
- Learn the best practices you need to follow when observing production applications using LLMs
Recommended follow-up:
- Read Observability Engineering, second edition (book)
- Take Harness Engineering for AI Agents (live online course with Richmond Alake)
- Watch Fundamentals of Observability with OpenTelemetry (on-demand course)
