Agent Development Kit

​
Install

pip install openinference-instrumentation-google-adk google-adk arize-otel

​
Setup

Set the GOOGLE_API_KEY environment variable. Refer to Google’s official guide for more details on configuring environment variables for Vertex AI if needed. 
export GOOGLE_API_KEY=[your_key_here]
Use the register function to connect your application to Arize AX. 
from arize.otel import register

tracer_provider = register(
    space_id = "your-space-id", # in app space settings page
    api_key = "your-api-key", # in app space settings page
    project_name = "your-project-name", # name this to whatever you would like
)

# Import the automatic instrumentor from OpenInference
from openinference.instrumentation.google_adk import GoogleADKInstrumentor

# Finish automatic instrumentation
GoogleADKInstrumentor().instrument(tracer_provider=tracer_provider)

​
Observe

Now that you have tracing setup, all Google ADK SDK requests will be streamed to Arize AX for observability and evaluation.
