Summary
- Four observability tiers: Cloud Trace (always enabled, distributed tracing), Prompt-Response Logging (GenAI interactions to GCS/BigQuery), BigQuery Agent Analytics (structured agent events), and third-party platforms (AgentOps, Phoenix, MLflow, Weave, Arize, Monocle, Freeplay)
- Cloud Trace automatically configured in scaffolded projects and Agent Engine deployments; captures execution flow, latency, and errors via OpenTelemetry spans
- Prompt-Response Logging privacy-preserving by default (metadata only); controlled via OTEL_INSTRUMENTATION_GENAI_CAPTURE_MESSAGE_CONTENT environment variable
- Includes troubleshooting table for common issues (missing traces, privacy misconfiguration, cost optimization) and reference files for Terraform infrastructure and BigQuery plugin setup
