{"categories":[{"label":"Monitoring","url":"https://skillfed.io/packages/category/system-monitoring/2"}],"enrichment":{"capability":"Captures traces of OpenAI API calls (prompts, completions, embeddings) and exports them to OpenTelemetry backends for observability and debugging.","skillfed_tags":["observability","llm-tracing","openai"],"use_cases":["Debug LLM application behavior by inspecting what prompts were sent and what completions were returned.","Monitor OpenAI API usage patterns and costs across your application.","Trace latency and performance of individual OpenAI calls within distributed systems.","Audit and log all AI interactions for compliance or quality review.","Correlate OpenAI calls with other application spans for end-to-end request tracing."],"what_it_does":"This package automatically instruments the official OpenAI Python library to emit OpenTelemetry spans for every API call. It captures prompts, completions, and embeddings as span attributes, giving you visibility into what your LLM application is sending and receiving. The instrumentation is enabled by calling a single method after import.\n\nBy default, full prompt and completion text is logged to spans for debugging visibility. If you need to reduce trace size or protect sensitive user data, you can disable content logging via the TRACELOOP_TRACE_CONTENT environment variable. The package integrates with any OpenTelemetry-compatible observability backend (Jaeger, Datadog, etc.) to centralize and analyze these traces.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you use the OpenAI library and need observability. Installation is frictionless, maintenance is active, and the permissive license poses no constraints. The single-line instrumentation API is straightforward. Only skip if you have no observability backend configured or if you cannot tolerate the default logging of prompt/completion text (though that can be disabled)."},"id":"opentelemetry-instrumentation-openai","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/opentelemetry-instrumentation-openai","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/opentelemetry-instrumentation-openai.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/opentelemetry-instrumentation-openai/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-10","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"opentelemetry-instrumentation-openai","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"OpenTelemetry OpenAI instrumentation"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":4773887,"position":2236,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.62.3"}
