Google&#8217;s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/sre.google\/sre-book\/monitoring-distributed-systems\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">SRE book chapter on monitoring<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\"> frames the goal as two questions: what is broken, and why? AI observability extends that habit to model calls, retrieval steps, and tool use.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335557856&quot;:16777215,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">This approach works well for debugging. For example, a trace can show that a slow request waited on a vector database, or that an integration returned an error. Consequently, engineers fix infrastructure faults faster. The approach still assumes that a failure announces itself through a fault signal, and AI failures often do not.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335557856&quot;:16777215,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 aria-level=\"4\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">The four golden signals still matter<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:80,&quot;335559739&quot;:40}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The SRE book names four golden signals: latency, traffic, errors, and saturation. It advises teams to measure all four and page a human when one looks problematic. The book also warns that a slow error is worse than a fast error, so teams should track error latency instead of filtering errors.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335557856&quot;:16777215,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">These signals detect user pain before anyone knows the cause. Nevertheless, they measure the container, not the content. An LLM call can return quickly and successfully while it states something false. Therefore, golden signals form a necessary foundation but are not sufficient for AI systems.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335557856&quot;:16777215,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 aria-level=\"4\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">GenAI telemetry now has a shared vocabulary<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:80,&quot;335559739&quot;:40}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The OpenTelemetry project publishes <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/opentelemetry.io\/docs\/specs\/semconv\/gen-ai\/gen-ai-spans\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">semantic conventions for generative AI spans<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">. The specification names each model-call span from the operation and the requested model. A companion metric, <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">gen_ai.client.token.usage<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">, records token consumption. Teams gain portable data that works across backends and vendors.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335557856&quot;:16777215,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">However, the conventions still carry &#8220;Development&#8221; status, so attribute names may change. More importantly, they describe calls, not correctness. A span can record the model, the tokens, and the duration. It cannot record whether the answer matched your policy. You need a separate mechanism for that judgment.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335557856&quot;:16777215,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 aria-level=\"4\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Traces show the path, not the verdict<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:80,&quot;335559739&quot;:40}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">A trace shows which documents the retriever fetched, and which tool the agent called.

It records which model ran, how many tokens it used, which documents the retriever fetched, and which tools the agent invoked. OpenTelemetry&#8217;s GenAI conventions give this data a shared format. Engineers use it to trace a slow or failing request to its cause.
