AI Observability

Set up AI telemetry

Create ingest keys, send telemetry, and understand provider keys.

Ingest keys and provider keys

  • Ingest keys let your application send traces and events to CloudWatcher.
  • Provider keys let CloudWatcher test or use a provider integration where that feature requires direct provider access.
  • Keep prompt and response capture optional if your team has privacy restrictions.

Setup steps

  • Open Settings > AI Observability.
  • Create an ingest key with only the scopes your app needs.
  • Add the ingest endpoint and key to your application environment.
  • Send one test event or trace.
  • Open AI Observability > Traces and clear filters if the event does not appear.
