LLM observability: connect logs, traces, and outcomes
Trace retrieval, generation, validation, and retries without confusing model completion with application success.
Connect events without losing the boundaries between operations. Explore request correlation, child stages, timing definitions, and the honest treatment of missing or sampled observations.
Use this collection to choose a focused design question. Each guide includes a practical investigation or fixture exercise, a primary technical reference, and links to the next relevant pattern. Start with the event you need to understand, then validate the full path from producer to reader.
Trace retrieval, generation, validation, and retries without confusing model completion with application success.
Build useful access logs while keeping observation points, latency boundaries, and visitor metrics distinct.
