Phoenix Tracing

Comprehensive guide for instrumenting LLM applications with OpenInference tracing in Phoenix. Contains reference files covering setup, instrumentation, span types, and production deployment.

When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:

  • Setting up Phoenix tracing (Python or TypeScript)
  • Creating custom spans for LLM operations
  • Adding attributes following OpenInference conventions
  • Deploying tracing to production
  • Querying and analyzing trace data

Common Workflows

  • Quick Start: setup-{lang} → instrumentation-auto-{lang} → Check Phoenix
  • Custom Spans: setup-{lang} → instrumentation-manual-{lang} → span-{type}
  • Session Tracking: sessions-{lang} for conversation grouping patterns
  • Production: production-{lang} for batching, masking, and deployment

How to Use This Skill

Navigation Patterns:

# By category prefix
references/setup-*              # Installation and configuration
references/instrumentation-*    # Auto and manual tracing
references/span-*               # Span type specifications
references/sessions-*           # Session tracking
references/production-*         # Production deployment
references/fundamentals-*       # Core concepts
references/attributes-*         # Attribute specifications

# By language
references/*-python.md          # Python implementations
references/*-typescript.md      # TypeScript implementations

Reading Order:

  1. Start with setup-{lang} for your language
  2. Choose instrumentation-auto-{lang} OR instrumentation-manual-{lang}
  3. Reference span-{type} files as needed for specific operations
  4. See fundamentals-* files for attribute specifications
