Cloud-native applications, with several distributed services, are getting more complex and challenging to manage. In addition, the rapidly evolving landscape of generative (gen) AI models, which are often opaque, complicate application monitoring and optimization, hindering developers' ability to gain clear insights and address performance issues promptly.

IBM® Instana® Observability integrates seamlessly with OpenTelemetry to ensure no service is left uninstrumented, and complete real-time observability can be achieved. The Instana platform’s sensor for gen AI runtimes uses OpenTelemetry features and Traceloop OpenLLMetry to collect traces, metrics and logs which help maintain high levels of performance and reliability.
