Phoenix has first-class support for LangGraph applications.
pip install openinference-instrumentation-langchainInstall the OpenInference Langchain library before your application code. Our LangChainInstrumentor works for both standard LangChain applications and for LangGraph agents.
Use the register function to connect your application to Phoenix:
from phoenix.otel import register
# configure the Phoenix tracer
tracer_provider = register(
project_name="my-llm-app", # Default is 'default'
auto_instrument=True # Auto-instrument your app based on installed OI dependencies
)By instrumenting LangGraph, spans will be created whenever an agent is invoked and will be sent to the Phoenix server for collection.
Now that you have tracing setup, all invocations of chains will be streamed to your running Phoenix for observability and evaluation.
