Google Agents Cli Observability

If you're deploying ADK agents and need to understand what they're doing in production, this gets you set up with Google Cloud's observability stack. Cloud Trace works immediately, but prompt-response logging and BigQuery analytics need Terraform infrastructure provisioned first, and the order matters: run infra before your first deploy or you'll create state conflicts. The skill walks through three tiers (tracing, logging, analytics) plus third-party integrations like AgentOps and Phoenix. Most useful when you're past the prototype phase and need to debug latency, audit LLM calls, or build custom dashboards. The Terraform sequencing gotcha is the kind of thing you want to know before you deploy, not after.

Observability Guide

Cloud Trace works out of the box — no infrastructure needed. Prompt-response logging and BigQuery Agent Analytics require Terraform-provisioned infrastructure (service account, GCS bucket, BigQuery dataset). Run agents-cli infra single-project --apply --project PROJECT_ID to provision these resources. Go projects get the BigQuery telemetry stack too; the GCS completion upload behind prompt-response logging and the BigQuery Agent Analytics plugin are Python only. See references/cloud-trace-and-logging.md for details, env vars, and verification commands. If your project isn't scaffolded yet, see /google-agents-cli-scaffold first.

Deployment order

Do you want Terraform-managed observability?Action
NoRun agents-cli deploy directly (works for all targets).
YesRun agents-cli infra single-project --apply first, then agents-cli deploy.
