splunk-otel-instrumentation-langchain 0.1.4

OpenTelemetry Official Langchain instrumentation

This package provides OpenTelemetry instrumentation for LangChain LLM/chat workflows. It leverages Splunk distribution of opentelemetry-util-genai for producing telemetry in semantic convention. Core concepts, high-level usage and configuration

Status: Alpha (APIs and produced telemetry are subject to change).

Installation

Install from source:

pip install -e splunk-otel-instrumentation-langchain

This will pull in required OpenTelemetry core + opentelemetry-util-genai.

Quick Start

Manual Instrumentation (development/debugging)

from opentelemetry.instrumentation.langchain import LangChainInstrumentor
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from langchain_core.messages import HumanMessage, SystemMessage

# manual instrumentation, easy to debug in your IDE
LangChainInstrumentor().instrument()

llm = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o-mini", temperature=0.0)
messages = [
    SystemMessage(content="You are a helpful assistant."),
    HumanMessage(content="What is the capital of France?"),
]
response = llm.invoke(messages)
print(response.content)

Zero-code instrumentation

in zero-code instrumentation mode, ensure you install opentelemetry-distribution and run you app with the OpenTelemetry LangChain Instrumentor enabled:

.. code:: bash

opentelemetry-instrument python your_langchain_app.py

from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from langchain_core.messages import HumanMessage, SystemMessage

llm = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o-mini", temperature=0.0)
messages = [
    SystemMessage(content="You are a helpful assistant."),
    HumanMessage(content="What is the capital of France?"),
]
response = llm.invoke(messages)
print(response.content)

Testing

Run the package tests (from repository root or this directory):

pytest -k langchain instrumentation-genai/opentelemetry-instrumentation-langchain-alpha/tests

(Recorded cassettes or proper API keys may be required for full integration tests.)
