ADK Observability Specialist (Python Edition)
Philosophy & Architecture
Observability enables measurement of an agent's internal state via external telemetry and structured logs. Basic I/O monitoring is insufficient for reasoning-heavy agents.
Core Capabilities
- •Reasoning Traces: Inspect the sequence of thought and tool selection.
- •Structured Logs: Capture JSON-based execution history for Cloud Logging.
- •Trace View (Local): Use
adk webto visualize timeline, spans, and payloads.
Implementations
- •LoggingPlugin: Console-based structured output.
- •DebugLoggingPlugin: Exhaustive YAML capture for offline debugging.
- •OpenTelemetry: Distributed tracing via Monocle integration.
- •Read
references/observability.mdfor full configuration details.
Success Criteria
- •Valid
loggingmodule configuration (programmatic or CLI). - •Successful extraction of debugging info from the Trace View.
- •Effective use of BigQuery for performance trend analysis.
