Interoperable Observability for Agent and LLM Workflows

OpenLLMetry provides practical OpenTelemetry instrumentation details, including trace structure and token counts, but its hands-on test used a stub rather than production traffic and did not automatically record cost. ControlTheory’s reported incident results across 13 Kubernetes clusters are a vendor-reported deployment lead without methodology or comparison data. Production overhead, coverage, and interoperability remain to be validated; cost per successful outcome is a useful measurement goal.
