Watch AWS engineers troubleshoot agentic AI with OpenTelemetry and OpenSearch

Your organization constantly needs more information about system performance, usage, and data while in production — or better yet, before it heads to prod. The challenge of telemetry increases with the complexity of your stack and agentic sprawl. Because “it works in the testing environment” becomes moot in the face of non-deterministic agents.

After all, AI agents span multiple environments, and that leaves traditional log-metric-trace models insufficient to handle the volume of the agentic AI era. The situation can lead companies to think that the best option is to throw everything into the locked box of proprietary tooling, but that creates another problem: Information is siloed within each layer, fragmenting data and taking you further from realizing real AI ROI.

Unified context across fragmented workflows

The OpenTelemetry framework and the OpenSearch distributed search and analytics engine make for a powerful, open-source pairing that gives organizations of all sizes unified context across their fragmented workflows. In fact, OTel has crossed the 95% adoption threshold for new cloud-native instrumentation projects and has already become the default choice for Greenfield projects.

OpenSearch, sponsored by Amazon Web Services, is gaining traction with AI engineers, as it recognizes that observability and AI must be united. This year’s OpenSearch roadmap specifically focuses on making it the primary retrieval interface for AI agents and an essential piece of any retrieval-augmented generation and agentic AI stack. 

Join us on July 22

Just because open source doesn’t have a direct cost doesn’t mean it’s free. That’s why Dotan Horovits and Rekha Thottan of AWS are going to perform a live troubleshooting simulation using correlated logs, metrics, and traces, followed by a demo of how agentic traces flow through Otel pipelines. Also learn how the open-source evaluation framework Agent Health can provide a structured pre-production benchmark to flag unpredictable agentic behavior before release. 

Join us live on July 22 to learn along and ask questions to learn how your organization can adopt these open-source standards in the second half of this year — across agentic workloads and traditional infrastructure, at scale.
