OpenInference LangChain Instrumentation

Python auto-instrumentation library for LangChain.

These traces are fully OpenTelemetry compatible and can be sent to an OpenTelemetry collector for viewing, such as arize-phoenix.

Installation

pip install openinference-instrumentation-langchain

Quickstart

Install packages needed for this demonstration.

pip install openinference-instrumentation-langchain langchain arize-phoenix opentelemetry-sdk opentelemetry-exporter-otlp

Start the Phoenix app in the background as a collector. By default, it listens on http://localhost:6006. You can visit the app via a browser at the same address.

The Phoenix app does not send data over the internet. It only operates locally on your machine.

python -m phoenix.server.main serve

The following Python code sets up the LangChainInstrumentor to trace langchain and send the traces to Phoenix at the endpoint shown below.

from langchain.chains import LLMChain
from langchain_core.prompts import PromptTemplate
from langchain_openai import OpenAI
from openinference.instrumentation.langchain import LangChainInstrumentor
from opentelemetry import trace as trace_api
from opentelemetry.exporter.otlp.proto.http.trace_exporter import OTLPSpanExporter
from opentelemetry.sdk import trace as trace_sdk
from opentelemetry.sdk.trace.export import ConsoleSpanExporter, SimpleSpanProcessor

endpoint = "http://127.0.0.1:6006/v1/traces"
tracer_provider = trace_sdk.TracerProvider()
trace_api.set_tracer_provider(tracer_provider)
tracer_provider.add_span_processor(SimpleSpanProcessor(OTLPSpanExporter(endpoint)))
tracer_provider.add_span_processor(SimpleSpanProcessor(ConsoleSpanExporter()))

LangChainInstrumentor().instrument()

To demonstrate langchain tracing, we'll make a simple chain to tell a joke. First, configure your OpenAI credentials.

import os

os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "<your openai key>"

Now we can create a chain and run it.

prompt_template = "Tell me a {adjective} joke"
prompt = PromptTemplate(input_variables=["adjective"], template=prompt_template)
llm = LLMChain(llm=OpenAI(), prompt=prompt, metadata={"category": "jokes"})
completion = llm.predict(adjective="funny", metadata={"variant": "funny"})
print(completion)

Visit the Phoenix app at http://localhost:6006 to see the traces.
