LLM usage telemetry SDK for Cloptima reporting, attribution, and analytics

Cloptima LLM Observability Python SDK

Capture LLM usage telemetry from your application and send it to Cloptima for cost reporting, attribution, and analytics.

This SDK is designed for teams that want observability without replacing their existing provider clients, wrappers, retries, auth, or application security controls.

Install

pip install cloptima-llm-observability

If you want the httpx transport helpers:

pip install "cloptima-llm-observability[httpx]"

Quick start

Required configuration:

• CLOPTIMA_LLM_OBSERVABILITY_API_KEY
• CLOPTIMA_LLM_OBSERVABILITY_APP_ID

Recommended while testing:

• CLOPTIMA_LLM_OBSERVABILITY_ENVIRONMENT=dev

from cloptima_llm_observability import extract_openai_usage, init_from_env

cloptima = init_from_env()

result = cloptima.observe_call(
    provider="openai",
    model="gpt-4.1-mini",
    call=lambda: summary_service.generate(prompt),
    extract_usage=extract_openai_usage,
    feature_id="summary_generation",
    workflow_id="support_agent",
    fire_and_forget=False,
)

By default, the SDK sends bearer-authenticated HTTPS requests to Cloptima at https://api.cloptima.ai/v1/ai/integrations/sdk/events.

If the required configuration is missing, init_from_env() returns a disabled pass-through client so local development and tests do not break.

Choose your integration path

Call-site or wrapper boundary

This is the default path for most teams.

Use it when you already know the provider, model, and business context at the point where your code calls an LLM or an existing AI wrapper.

• observe_call(...) for direct integration
• create_observed_call(...) for reusable wrappers
• wrap_observed_service(...) to instrument customer-owned service classes

from cloptima_llm_observability import (
    extract_openai_usage,
    init_from_env,
    wrap_observed_service,
)


class SummaryService:
    def generate_summary(self, prompt: str):
        return openai.responses.create(model="gpt-4.1-mini", input=prompt)


cloptima = init_from_env()
summary_service = wrap_observed_service(
    cloptima,
    SummaryService(),
    {
        "generate_summary": {
            "kind": "call",
            "options": {
                "provider": "openai",
                "model": "gpt-4.1-mini",
                "extract_usage": extract_openai_usage,
                "fire_and_forget": False,
            },
            "resolve_overrides": lambda prompt: {
                "attribution": {
                    "feature_id": "summary_generation",
                },
            },
        }
    },
)

Context-first attribution

Use context helpers when you want workflow or feature attribution to apply across nested calls without threading more parameters through your own service signatures.

• with_attribution(...)
• run_with_attribution(...)
• with_workflow(...)
• with_task(...)
• @workflow(...)
• @task(...)

from cloptima_llm_observability import with_task, with_workflow

with with_workflow("support_agent", tenant_id="acme-prod"):
    with with_task("draft_reply", team_id="customer-support"):
        summary_service.generate_summary(prompt)

Per-call attribution still works and overrides context when needed.

Shared transport integration

If your application centralizes outbound LLM calls behind httpx, instrument that shared boundary:

import httpx

from cloptima_llm_observability import init_from_env, instrument_httpx_transport

cloptima = init_from_env()
transport = instrument_httpx_transport(
    httpx.HTTPTransport(),
    cloptima=cloptima,
    provider="openai",
    model="gpt-4o-mini",
    fire_and_forget=False,
)
client = httpx.Client(transport=transport)

This gives broad coverage, but it has less business context than call-site or wrapper-boundary integration.

OTLP delivery to Cloptima

Use otlp_http when your enterprise prefers OpenTelemetry-compatible payloads but still wants to send that telemetry to Cloptima.

• cloptima_http is the default delivery mode
• otlp_http sends OpenTelemetry-compatible payloads to Cloptima's OTLP receiver

CLOPTIMA_LLM_OBSERVABILITY_DELIVERY_MODE=otlp_http
CLOPTIMA_LLM_OBSERVABILITY_OTLP_SERVICE_NAME=agent-api
CLOPTIMA_LLM_OBSERVABILITY_OTLP_SERVICE_VERSION=2026.06.14

If you already operate an OTEL collector and emit GenAI spans, you can also send OTLP data to Cloptima without using this SDK. Use the SDK OTLP mode when you want application-managed instrumentation that still fits an OTLP-shaped delivery contract.

Built-in extractors and compatibility

Built-in usage extractors cover:

• OpenAI
• Azure OpenAI
• Anthropic
• Gemini
• Vertex AI
• Bedrock

If a provider response shape drifts, you do not need to replace the whole extractor path. Compose or patch it instead:

• try_extract_usage(...)
• compose_usage_extractors(...)
• with_usage_overrides(...)
• create_mapped_usage_extractor(...)
• list_supported_providers()

Attribution fields

Common ownership and reporting fields:

• app_id
• environment
• team_id
• feature_id
• workflow_id
• cost_center
• business_unit
• product
• tenant_id
• end_customer_id
• customer_segment
• release

Set defaults once in default_attribution, set them in context, or override them per call.

Metadata and privacy

Use metadata_policy to control how custom metadata is retained:

• metadata_only
• allowlisted_metadata
• strict_finops
• debug_observability

Sensitive-looking keys such as prompts, messages, credentials, and secrets are treated conservatively by default.

Validation and local previews

Use these helpers in local tests, CI, or rollout checks:

• preview_event_payload(...)
• preview_batch_payload(...)
• preview_otlp_request(...)
• validate_payload(...)

They build or validate payloads in memory and do not send network traffic.

Examples

Public examples live in examples/:

• basic.py: direct call-site integration
• custom_wrapper.py: existing service wrapper integration
• workflow_context.py: context-first attribution without signature bloat
• httpx_transport.py: shared httpx integration
• otlp_basic.py: OTLP-compatible delivery to Cloptima
• openai_basic.py, anthropic_basic.py, gemini_basic.py: provider-specific extractor examples

Troubleshooting

No telemetry arrives:

• verify the API key is valid for Cloptima telemetry ingestion
• check client.is_enabled()
• inspect a sample event with validate_payload(preview_event_payload(...))

Unexpected provider response shape:

• start with the closest built-in extractor
• patch field differences with with_usage_overrides(...) or create_mapped_usage_extractor(...)
• compare against list_supported_providers() if you need a supported-provider snapshot
