How to use the python LlamaIndexInstrumentor to trace LlamaIndex Workflows
LlamaIndex Workflows are a subset of the LlamaIndex package specifically designed to support agent development.
Our LlamaIndexInstrumentor automatically captures traces for LlamaIndex Workflows agents. If you've already enabled that instrumentor, you do not need to complete the steps below.
import os
# Add Phoenix API Key for tracing
PHOENIX_API_KEY = "ADD YOUR API KEY"
os.environ["PHOENIX_CLIENT_HEADERS"] = f"api_key={PHOENIX_API_KEY}"
os.environ["PHOENIX_COLLECTOR_ENDPOINT"] = "https://app.phoenix.arize.com"
Your Phoenix API key can be found on the Keys section of your dashboard.
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
Set your Phoenix endpoint:
import os
os.environ["PHOENIX_COLLECTOR_ENDPOINT"] = "http://localhost:6006"
docker run -p 6006:6006 arizephoenix/phoenix:latest
This will expose the Phoenix on localhost:6006
Install packages:
pip install arize-phoenix-otel
Set your Phoenix endpoint:
import os
os.environ["PHOENIX_COLLECTOR_ENDPOINT"] = "http://localhost:6006"
For more info on using Phoenix with Docker, see Docker
Install packages:
pip install arize-phoenix
Launch Phoenix:
import phoenix as px
px.launch_app()
By default, notebook instances do not have persistent storage, so your traces will disappear after the notebook is closed. See or use one of the other deployment options to retain traces.
Initialize the LlamaIndexInstrumentor before your application code. This instrumentor will trace both LlamaIndex Workflows calls, as well as calls to the general LlamaIndex package.
from openinference.instrumentation.llama_index import LlamaIndexInstrumentor
LlamaIndexInstrumentor().instrument(tracer_provider=tracer_provider)
Run LlamaIndex Workflows
By instrumenting LlamaIndex, spans will be created whenever an agent is invoked and will be sent to the Phoenix server for collection.
Observe
Now that you have tracing setup, all invocations of chains will be streamed to your running Phoenix for observability and evaluation.
