# LangChain

Coralogix's AI Observability integrations make it easy to monitor any LangChain-powered application. With a dedicated LangChain integration, Coralogix consolidates spans emitted by OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS Bedrock, and other LangChain chat providers so teams can understand performance, drift, and tool usage without stitching logs across services.

## Overview[​](#overview "Direct link to Overview")

This library offers customized [OpenTelemetry instrumentation](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python-contrib/) for [LangChain](https://www.langchain.com/), optimized to support large language model (LLM) application development with streamlined integration, detailed production tracing, and effective debugging capabilities.

## Supported providers[​](#supported-providers "Direct link to Supported providers")

The following providers are supported with full prompt/completion attributes:

| Provider    | Chat model class                                    | System value  |
| ----------- | --------------------------------------------------- | ------------- |
| OpenAI      | `ChatOpenAI`                                        | `openai`      |
| Anthropic   | `ChatAnthropic`                                     | `anthropic`   |
| AWS Bedrock | `ChatBedrock`, `ChatBedrockConverse`, `BedrockChat` | `aws.bedrock` |

Other chat model classes are still instrumented with system value `langchain` and a span is always created (model name uses metadata or provider class name when not in standard keys).

## Requirements[​](#requirements "Direct link to Requirements")

* Python 3.10–3.13.
* Coralogix [API keys](https://coralogix.com/docs/docs/user-guides/account-management/api-keys/api-keys/.md).

## Installation[​](#installation "Direct link to Installation")

Run the following command.

```
pip install "llm-tracekit-langchain"
```

## Authentication[​](#authentication "Direct link to Authentication")

Authentication data is passed during OTel Span Exporter definition:

1. Choose the
   <!-- -->
   ingress.:443
   <!-- -->
   endpoint that corresponds to your Coralogix [domain](https://coralogix.com/docs/docs/user-guides/account-management/account-settings/coralogix-domain/.md) using the domain selector at the top of the page.
2. Use your [customized API key](https://coralogix.com/docs/docs/user-guides/account-management/api-keys/api-keys/.md) in the authorization request header.
3. Provide the [application and subsystem names](https://coralogix.com/docs/docs/user-guides/account-management/account-settings/application-and-subsystem-names/.md).

```
from llm_tracekit.langchain import setup_export_to_coralogix



setup_export_to_coralogix(

    coralogix_token=<your_coralogix_token>,

    coralogix_endpoint="ingress.eu2.coralogix.com:443",

    service_name="ai-service",

    application_name="ai-application",

    subsystem_name="ai-subsystem",

    capture_content=True,

)
```

Note

All of the authentication parameters can also be provided through environment variables (`CX_TOKEN`, `CX_ENDPOINT`, etc.).

## Usage[​](#usage "Direct link to Usage")

This section describes how to set up instrumentation for LangChain.

### Set up tracing[​](#set-up-tracing "Direct link to Set up tracing")

**Automatic**

Use the `setup_export_to_coralogix` function to set up tracing and export traces to Coralogix. See the code snippet in the [Authentication](#authentication) section.

**Manual**

Alternatively, you can set up tracing manually.

```
from opentelemetry import trace

from opentelemetry.exporter.otlp.proto.grpc.trace_exporter import OTLPSpanExporter

from opentelemetry.sdk.resources import SERVICE_NAME, Resource

from opentelemetry.sdk.trace import TracerProvider

from opentelemetry.sdk.trace.export import SimpleSpanProcessor



tracer_provider = TracerProvider(

    resource=Resource.create({SERVICE_NAME: "ai-service"}),

)

exporter = OTLPSpanExporter()

span_processor = SimpleSpanProcessor(exporter)

tracer_provider.add_span_processor(span_processor)

trace.set_tracer_provider(tracer_provider)
```

### Instrument[​](#instrument "Direct link to Instrument")

To instrument all clients, call the `instrument` method.

```
from llm_tracekit.langchain import LangChainInstrumentor



LangChainInstrumentor().instrument()
```

### Uninstrument[​](#uninstrument "Direct link to Uninstrument")

To uninstrument clients, call the `uninstrument` method.

```
LangChainInstrumentor().uninstrument()
```

### Full example[​](#full-example "Direct link to Full example")

```
from llm_tracekit.langchain import LangChainInstrumentor, setup_export_to_coralogix

from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

from langchain_core.messages import HumanMessage



# Optional: Configure sending spans to Coralogix

# Reads Coralogix connection details from the following environment variables:

# - CX_TOKEN

# - CX_ENDPOINT

setup_export_to_coralogix(

    service_name="ai-service",

    application_name="ai-application",

    subsystem_name="ai-subsystem",

    capture_content=True,

)



# Activate instrumentation

LangChainInstrumentor().instrument()



# LangChain usage example

llm = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o-mini")

messages = [HumanMessage(content="Write a short poem on open telemetry.")]

response = llm.invoke(messages)



# Pass user via config metadata

response = llm.invoke(

    messages,

    config={"metadata": {"user": "user@company.com"}},

)
```

### Enable message content capture[​](#enable-message-content-capture "Direct link to Enable message content capture")

By default, message content — prompt contents, completions, function arguments, and return values — is not captured. To capture message content as span attributes:

* Pass `capture_content=True` when calling `setup_export_to_coralogix`.
* Set the environment variable `OTEL_INSTRUMENTATION_GENAI_CAPTURE_MESSAGE_CONTENT` to `true`.

Most Coralogix AI evaluations require message contents to function properly, so enabling message capture is strongly recommended.
