agent-os-observability 0.2.0

Production observability for Agent OS - OpenTelemetry traces, Prometheus metrics, Grafana dashboards

Agent OS Observability

Production-ready observability stack for Agent OS kernel.

Status: Alpha

This package provides metrics, tracing, and dashboards for monitoring Agent OS deployments.

Features

• Prometheus Metrics: Kernel, agent, and CMVK metrics
• OpenTelemetry Tracing: Distributed tracing for agent operations
• Grafana Dashboards: Pre-built dashboards for SOC, ML Ops, and SRE teams
• Prometheus Alerts: Safety, performance, and availability alerts

Quick Start

Install Package

pip install agent-os-observability

Basic Usage

from agent_os_observability import KernelMetrics, KernelTracer

# Initialize metrics
metrics = KernelMetrics()

# Record policy check
with metrics.policy_check_latency():
    result = policy_engine.check(action)

# Record violation
if not result.allowed:
    metrics.record_violation(agent_id, action, policy="data-access", severity="high")
    metrics.record_blocked(agent_id, action)

# CMVK metrics
metrics.record_cmvk_verification(
    result="verified",
    confidence=0.95,
    drift_score=0.08,
    duration_seconds=2.3,
    model_count=3
)

# Expose /metrics endpoint (FastAPI example)
from fastapi import FastAPI, Response

app = FastAPI()

@app.get("/metrics")
def get_metrics():
    return Response(
        content=metrics.export(),
        media_type=metrics.content_type()
    )

Dashboards

agent-os-overview (10 panels)

Main dashboard for SOC teams: violation rate, SIGKILL count, latency, throughput.

agent-os-cmvk (12 panels)

ML Ops dashboard: consensus rate, drift scores, model latency, verification results.

agent-os-amb (13 panels)

AMB (Agent Message Bus): throughput, queue depth, backpressure, delivery latency.

agent-os-safety (1 panel)

CISO dashboard: 30-day violation count.

Export Dashboards

python scripts/export_dashboards.py

This creates JSON files in grafana/dashboards/ for Grafana provisioning.

Alerts

Alert rules are defined in alerts/agent-os-alerts.yaml:

Critical Alerts (Page Immediately)

• AgentOSHighViolationRate: Violation rate >1%
• AgentOSSIGKILLSpike: >5 SIGKILL in 5 minutes
• AgentOSKernelCrash: Kernel panic

Warning Alerts

• AgentOSHighPolicyLatency: p99 latency >10ms
• CMVKLowConsensus: Consensus <80%
• CMVKHighDrift: p95 drift >0.25
