opentelemetry-instrumentation-agno

What it is and what it does

This package is an OpenTelemetry instrumentation plugin for the Agno framework. It automatically captures telemetry data from Agno applications—including agent execution, team operations, model invocations, function calls, and streaming responses—without requiring manual instrumentation code. You install it, call AgnoInstrumentor().instrument() once at startup, and all Agno activity is then emitted as OpenTelemetry traces that can be sent to any compatible observability backend.

The package is designed for developers building or operating Agno-based applications who need visibility into how agents behave, which models are being called, how long operations take, and where failures occur. It integrates with the OpenTelemetry ecosystem through its dependencies on opentelemetry-api, opentelemetry-instrumentation, opentelemetry-semantic-conventions-ai, and opentelemetry-semantic-conventions. The package is actively maintained, has no known security vulnerabilities, and requires Python 3.10 or later.

Use it for:

• Monitor agent execution latency and success rates in production Agno applications to identify performance bottlenecks.
• Trace model invocations across distributed Agno deployments to correlate AI operations with other service metrics.
• Debug team operations and function call chains by inspecting detailed trace spans in an observability platform.
• Collect streaming response telemetry to understand response patterns and latency in real-time.
• Correlate Agno agent traces with application logs and metrics for end-to-end observability of AI workflows.

Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

Automatically instruments the Agno framework to emit OpenTelemetry traces for agent execution, team operations, model invocations, function calls, and streaming responses.

Yes—if you are running Agno in production or development and need observability. The package is actively maintained, has zero known vulnerabilities, low install friction, and a permissive Apache-2.0 license. It integrates cleanly with standard OpenTelemetry infrastructure. Install it if you want to trace Agno agent behavior; skip it only if you have no observability requirements.

Install

opentelemetry-instrumentation-agno on PyPI

pip install opentelemetry-instrumentation-agno

uv add opentelemetry-instrumentation-agno

poetry add opentelemetry-instrumentation-agno

Installing opentelemetry-instrumentation-agno

Before you install

Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel distribution. Actively maintained with a recent release and no known vulnerabilities. Depends on four OpenTelemetry packages (opentelemetry-api, opentelemetry-instrumentation, opentelemetry-semantic-conventions-ai, opentelemetry-semantic-conventions) which are standard observability infrastructure.

License in practice

Licensed under Apache-2.0 (permissive), allowing use in commercial and proprietary projects with minimal restrictions—only requiring license and copyright notice retention.

Quickstart

pip install opentelemetry-instrumentation-agno

from opentelemetry.instrumentation.agno import AgnoInstrumentor

AgnoInstrumentor().instrument()

Requires Python 3.10 or later.

Verify before relying

• Whether instrumentation works with all Agno versions or has specific version constraints beyond what the fact sheet shows
• Performance overhead of instrumentation on agent execution and streaming workloads
• Whether async instrumentation covers all async patterns used in Agno applications
