Haystack

Instrument LLM applications built with Haystack

Phoenix provides auto-instrumentation for Haystack

Launch Phoenix

Phoenix Developer Edition

Sign up for Phoenix:

Sign up for an Arize Phoenix account at https://app.phoenix.arize.com/login

Install packages:

pip install arize-phoenix-otel

Connect your application to your cloud instance:

import os
from phoenix.otel import register

# Add Phoenix API Key for tracing
PHOENIX_API_KEY = "ADD YOUR API KEY"
os.environ["PHOENIX_CLIENT_HEADERS"] = f"api_key={PHOENIX_API_KEY}"

# configure the Phoenix tracer
tracer_provider = register(
  project_name="my-llm-app", # Default is 'default'
  endpoint="https://app.phoenix.arize.com/v1/traces",
)

Your Phoenix API key can be found on the Keys section of your dashboard.

Command Line

Launch your local Phoenix instance:

pip install arize-phoenix
phoenix serve

For details on customizing a local terminal deployment, see Terminal Setup.

Install packages:

pip install arize-phoenix-otel

Connect your application to your instance using:

from phoenix.otel import register

tracer_provider = register(
  project_name="my-llm-app", # Default is 'default'
  endpoint="http://localhost:6006/v1/traces",
)

See Quickstart: Deployment for more details

Docker

Pull latest Phoenix image from Docker Hub:

docker pull arizephoenix/phoenix:latest

Run your containerized instance:

docker run -p 6006:6006 arizephoenix/phoenix:latest

This will expose the Phoenix on localhost:6006

Install packages:

pip install arize-phoenix-otel

Connect your application to your instance using:

from phoenix.otel import register

tracer_provider = register(
  project_name="my-llm-app", # Default is 'default'
  endpoint="http://localhost:6006/v1/traces",
)

For more info on using Phoenix with Docker, see Docker

Notebook

Install packages:

pip install arize-phoenix

Launch Phoenix:

import phoenix as px
px.launch_app()

Connect your notebook to Phoenix:

from phoenix.otel import register

tracer_provider = register(
  project_name="my-llm-app", # Default is 'default'
)

By default, notebook instances do not have persistent storage, so your traces will disappear after the notebook is closed. See Persistence or use one of the other deployment options to retain traces.

Install

pip install openinference-instrumentation-haystack haystack-ai

Setup

Initialize the HaystackInstrumentor before your application code.

from openinference.instrumentation.haystack import HaystackInstrumentor

HaystackInstrumentor().instrument(tracer_provider=tracer_provider)

Run Haystack

Phoenix's auto-instrumentor collects any traces from Haystack Pipelines. If you are using Haystack but not using Pipelines, you won't see traces appearing in Phoenix automatically.

If you don't want to use Haystack pipelines but still want tracing in Phoenix, you can useManual Instrumentationinstead of this auto-instrumentor.

From here, you can set up your Haystack app as normal:

from haystack import Pipeline
from haystack.components.generators import OpenAIGenerator
from haystack.components.builders.prompt_builder import PromptBuilder

prompt_template = """
Answer the following question.
Question: {{question}}
Answer:
"""

# Initialize the pipeline
pipeline = Pipeline()

# Initialize the OpenAI generator component
llm = OpenAIGenerator(model="gpt-3.5-turbo")
prompt_builder = PromptBuilder(template=prompt_template)

# Add the generator component to the pipeline
pipeline.add_component("prompt_builder", prompt_builder)
pipeline.add_component("llm", llm)
pipeline.connect("prompt_builder", "llm")

# Define the question
question = "What is the location of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon?"

Observe

Now that you have tracing setup, all invocations of pipelines will be streamed to your running Phoenix for observability and evaluation.
