Google ADK tracing for Java - Phoenix
Source: https://arize.com/docs/phoenix/integrations/java/google-adk/google-adk-tracing Instrument Google ADK for Java with OpenInference and export traces to Phoenix.
Google ADK creates OpenTelemetry spans. The OpenInference Java agent enriches those spans and sends them to Phoenix without changes to your agent code.
Prerequisites
- Java and Gradle
- AGemini API key
- The shaded OpenInference ADK Java agent JAR
Run the example
ThePhoenix exampleincludes the ADK agent, OpenTelemetry configuration, and Gradle launch task. Set the path to your shaded OpenInference agent JAR, then run it:
Open Phoenix and select thegoogle\-adk\-javaproject.
Instrument your application
Register a global OpenTelemetry SDK with an OTLP exporter and theopeninference\.project\.nameresource attribute. Do this before constructing any ADK object because ADK captures the global OpenTelemetry instance when its telemetry class loads. The following is taken from the example’sWeatherAgent\.java:
Launch your application with the shaded agent JAR:
For Phoenix Cloud or an authenticated deployment, followConnect your app to Phoenixto configure the endpoint and headers.
