Distributed tracing for agentic workflows with OpenTelemetry

This blog post discusses setting up distributed tracing for agentic workflows using OpenTelemetry in a multi-agent AI system. It details the complexities of debugging and the need for clear visibility through tracing spans for various components in agentic applications. The post covers practical steps to configure tracing, the architecture of AI quickstarts, and insights gained from developing the it-self-service-agent AI quickstart. It emphasizes the importance of context propagation within distributed systems and the efficient creation of spans through both automatic and manual instrumentation.
