OpenInference Pipecat Instrumentation

Python auto-instrumentation library for Pipecat. This library allows you to convert Pipecat traces to OpenInference, which is OpenTelemetry compatible, and view those traces in Arize Phoenix or Arize AX.

Compatibility

openinference-instrumentation-pipecat pipecat-ai Python
>=2.0 >=1.3 >=3.11
>=1.0, <2.0 >=1.0, <1.3 >=3.11
<=0.1.4 <1.0 (e.g. 0.0.99) >=3.10

Pipecat 1.3 deprecated PipelineTask in favor of PipelineWorker. Instrumentor versions <2.0 only wrap PipelineTask, so bots built on PipelineWorker get no observer injection and emit no spans. Use >=2.0 with pipecat-ai>=1.3.

Pipecat 1.0 introduced breaking changes (renamed observers, removed LLMMessagesFrame, dropped Python 3.10). If you're still on pipecat-ai<1.0, pin this instrumentor to <=0.1.4:

pip install 'openinference-instrumentation-pipecat<=0.1.4' 'pipecat-ai<1.0'

Installation

pip install openinference-instrumentation-pipecat

Quickstart

This quickstart shows you how to setup tracing in your Pipecat application:

from phoenix.otel import register
from openinference.instrumentation.pipecat import PipecatInstrumentor

# Set up the tracer provider
tracer_provider = register(
    project_name="default" #Phoenix project name
)

# Add auto-instrumentor at the top of the application
PipecatInstrumentor().instrument(tracer_provider=tracer_provider)

# Build your Pipecat pipeline
# ... (add your Pipecat pipeline code here)

### CONFIGURATION SETUP (Transport, LLM, STT, TTS) ###

### PIPELINE ###
pipeline = Pipeline(...)

### WORKER ###
worker = PipelineWorker(
    pipeline,
    conversation_id=conversation_id,  # conversation id is used for session tracking in Arize or Phoenix
)

### EVENT HANDLING
@transport.event_handler("on_client_connected")
async def on_client_connected(transport, client):
    await worker.queue_frames([LLMRunFrame()])

### PIPELINE RUNNER ###
runner = PipelineRunner(handle_sigint=runner_args.handle_sigint)
await runner.run(worker)

After configuring tracing, exchanges in the running application are logged to your project in Phoenix or Arize AX.

Example

  1. Install dependencies
uv pip install -e '.[examples]'

or

uv pip install -r examples/trace/requirements.txt
  1. Run example
uv run python examples/trace/001-trace.py
