Instrumenting AI Agents for the Agent Timeline: A Practical OpenTelemetry Guide

The LLM is rarely the root cause of agent failures. This technical guide shows how to instrument AI agents using OpenTelemetry's GenAI semantic conventions so they appear in Honeycomb's Agent Timeline—including tool calls, multi-agent handoffs, and framework-specific SDKs—so you can debug what actually went wrong.

Agent Timeline Is Now Generally Available

Honeycomb’s Agent Timeline gives you a unified view of LLM behavior and multi-agent workflows, so you can investigate entire conversations and quickly see where prompts, tool calls, and failures happened, in the order they happened.
