Lunary trace showing nested model and tool calls
Agent tracing in Lunary

Give application teams consistent traces while keeping deployment and data controls explicit.

Standardize

Agree on task IDs, operation names, environment and release.

Operate

Monitor ingestion and validate backup and upgrade procedures.

Roll out

Start with one application and a known failure case.

Set a shared trace contract

Use SDK instrumentation or OpenTelemetry ingestion with consistent parent relationships and metadata. Verify the mapping across services and workers.

Control what gets recorded

Define the payload fields needed for debugging and transform them before transmission. Test nested inputs and outputs so redaction retains useful context.

Validate the deployment

Lunary publishes self-hosting guidance. Confirm edition requirements, restore a backup and test ingestion during network failures and runtime shutdown.

Questions & answers

Does OpenTelemetry remove all integration work?

No. Validate attribute mapping, context propagation and application-specific fields.

Does self-hosting satisfy every security requirement?

No. Controls depend on your configuration, access policies and operating procedures.
