# Observability overview

> Monitor events, errors, and performance across your AI Studio deployment

AI Studio provides observability tools to help DevOps teams, site reliability engineers, and platform engineers monitor agent activity, debug issues, and maintain compliance. Use the built-in tools directly in AI Studio, or connect to external platforms your team already uses.

## Built-in observability

AI Studio includes the following observability features out of the box:

  <Card title="Event logs" icon="list-timeline" href="/home/event-logs">
    View a real-time log of platform events including API requests, errors, and
    agent interactions.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Agent observability" icon="gauge-high" href="/home/agent-observability">
    Monitor individual agent performance with session logs, engagement metrics,
    and usage data.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Usage and spend" icon="chart-pie" href="/home/usage-and-spend">
    Track organization-wide costs, token consumption, and spending trends.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## External observability

To stream logs and metrics to monitoring platforms your organization already uses, configure an observability plugin. Plugins forward request-level data from AI Studio to external tools, giving you centralized visibility alongside the rest of your infrastructure.

<Card title="Configure plugins" icon="plug" href="/home/plugins-overview">
  Set up integrations with platforms like Datadog to stream logs, metrics, and
  traces from AI Studio.
