# adk-telemetry
OpenTelemetry integration for Rust Agent Development Kit (ADK-Rust) agent observability.
[](https://crates.io/crates/adk-telemetry)
[](https://docs.rs/adk-telemetry)
[](LICENSE)
## Overview
`adk-telemetry` provides observability infrastructure for the Rust Agent Development Kit ([ADK-Rust](https://github.com/zavora-ai/adk-rust)), built on OpenTelemetry 0.31 and tracing-opentelemetry 0.32:
- **Tracing** - Distributed tracing with OpenTelemetry 0.31
- **Logging** - Structured logging with tracing-subscriber
- **Metrics** - Performance metrics export via OTLP (tonic 0.12 / gRPC)
- **Span Context** - Propagation across agent boundaries
## Installation
```toml
[dependencies]
adk-telemetry = "0.6.0"
```
Or use the meta-crate:
```toml
[dependencies]
adk-rust = { version = "0.6.0", features = ["telemetry"] }
```
## Quick Start
```rust
use adk_telemetry::init_telemetry;
fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
// Initialize with service name
init_telemetry("my-agent")?;
// Your agent code here...
Ok(())
}
```
## Configuration
Set the `RUST_LOG` environment variable:
```bash
# Debug logging for ADK
RUST_LOG=adk=debug cargo run
# Trace level for specific modules
RUST_LOG=adk_agent=trace,adk_model=debug cargo run
```
## OpenTelemetry Export
Configure OTLP export for distributed tracing:
```rust
use adk_telemetry::init_with_otlp;
fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
init_with_otlp("my-agent", "http://localhost:4317")?;
// Your agent code here...
Ok(())
}
```
## Available Functions
| `init_telemetry(service_name)` | Basic console logging |
| `init_with_otlp(service_name, endpoint)` | OTLP export to collectors |
| `init_with_adk_exporter(service_name)` | ADK-style span exporter |
| `shutdown_telemetry()` | Flush and shutdown |
## Span Helpers
Pre-configured spans for instrumenting ADK operations:
| `agent_run_span(name, invocation_id)` | Agent execution span |
| `model_call_span(model_name)` | Model API call span |
| `llm_generate_span(provider, model, stream)` | LLM generation span with `gen_ai.usage.*` fields |
| `tool_execute_span(tool_name)` | Tool execution span |
| `callback_span(callback_type)` | Callback execution span |
| `record_llm_usage(&usage)` | Record token counts on the current span |
### Token Usage Tracking
`llm_generate_span` pre-declares OpenTelemetry GenAI semantic convention fields. After receiving a response, call `record_llm_usage` to populate them:
```rust
use adk_telemetry::{llm_generate_span, record_llm_usage, LlmUsage};
let span = llm_generate_span("openai", "gpt-5-mini", true);
let _enter = span.enter();
// After receiving the LLM response:
record_llm_usage(&LlmUsage {
input_tokens: 100,
output_tokens: 50,
total_tokens: 150,
cache_read_tokens: Some(80),
..Default::default()
});
```
Recorded fields: `gen_ai.usage.input_tokens`, `output_tokens`, `total_tokens`, `cache_read_tokens`, `cache_creation_tokens`, `thinking_tokens`, `audio_input_tokens`, `audio_output_tokens`.
## Re-exports
Convenience re-exports from `tracing`:
```rust
use adk_telemetry::{info, debug, warn, error, trace, instrument, Span};
```
## Features
- Zero-config defaults with sensible logging
- OpenTelemetry 0.31 compatible span export
- OTLP export via `tonic 0.12` (gRPC), aligned with `adk-server`'s `hyper 1.x` / `http 1.x` stack
- Automatic context propagation
- JSON or pretty-print log formats
### OpenTelemetry Dependency Versions
| `opentelemetry` | 0.31 |
| `opentelemetry_sdk` | 0.31 |
| `opentelemetry-otlp` | 0.31 |
| `tracing-opentelemetry` | 0.32 |
