FAQPage Schema
How do I set up observability and tracing for ADK agent deployments?▼

You can establish ADK observability by enabling Cloud Trace for distributed tracing and configuring prompt-response logging to capture GenAI interactions for monitoring and debugging deployed agents.

What is the best way to capture prompt and response logs for ADK agents?▼

Prompt-response logging captures GenAI interactions by routing them to standard logs and BigQuery Agent Analytics, providing structured telemetry for analyzing agent behavior and debugging production issues.

Can I use BigQuery for analyzing ADK agent telemetry?▼

Yes, BigQuery Agent Analytics provides structured telemetry storage for deployed ADK agents, enabling you to query and analyze prompt-response data and operational metrics to diagnose production issues.

Does ADK observability support third-party integrations for external monitoring platforms?▼

Yes, ADK observability supports third-party integrations, allowing you to connect deployed agents to external observability platforms alongside native Cloud Trace and BigQuery telemetry for comprehensive monitoring.

Why do I need distributed tracing for my deployed ADK agents?▼

Distributed tracing through Cloud Trace maps agent flows across services, reducing the time required to diagnose production issues and ensuring your ADK deployments remain observable and debuggable.
