Export OpenInference Traces

Use this skill when the destination expects OpenInference semantic conventions, for example Arize Phoenix or another OpenInference-aware OTLP backend.

Default Path

• Build the binding-specific OpenInferenceConfig
• Set endpoint, transport, service metadata, and headers
• Construct and register the subscriber
• Run instrumented scoped work
• Deregister, flush, and shut down when done

Embedded OpenInference Semantics

• OpenInference export is for OTLP backends that understand model-centric OpenInference semantic conventions.
• Configure transport, endpoint, service_name, optional namespace and version, instrumentation scope, headers, resource attributes, and timeout.
• Start with http_binary transport and an OTLP/HTTP traces endpoint. Use grpc only when a Tokio runtime is active.
• Scope, tool, and LLM start inputs become input.value.
• Scope, tool, and LLM end outputs become output.value.
• LLM usage metadata maps token counters when provider responses include usage.
• Use explicit config fields for endpoint, headers, resource attributes, and service identity in application code.
• Validate export by checking construction logs, collector traffic, and spans from the same root_uuid in the tracing backend.

Important Semantics

• Spans include OpenInference semantic attributes
• LLM spans derive input.value from request content, not request headers
• Scope types map to OpenInference span kinds
• Orphan mark events still export as zero-duration spans

Troubleshooting Focus

• No spans in the OpenInference-aware backend
• Expected semantic attributes missing
• Wrong scope types or no active scope
• Wrong OTLP transport for the chosen binding or target
