OpenLIT uses OpenTelemetry Auto-Instrumentation to help you monitor AI applications built using the Replicate API. This includes tracking performance, model usage, and how users interact with your application. Auto-instrumentation means you don’t have to set up monitoring manually for different models or providers. By simply adding OpenLIT in your application, all the necessary monitoring configurations are automatically set up. The integration is compatible with
  • Replicate JavaScript/TypeScript SDK client

​
Get started

1

Install OpenLIT

Open your command line or terminal and run:
npm install openlit
2

Initialize OpenLIT in your Application

Perfect for existing applications - no code modifications needed:
# Configure via CLI arguments
openlit-instrument \
  --service-name my-ai-app \
  --environment production \
  --otlp-endpoint YOUR_OTEL_ENDPOINT \
  python your_app.py
Perfect for: Legacy applications, production systems where code changes need approval, quick testing, or when you want to add observability without touching existing code.
Replace: YOUR_OTEL_ENDPOINT with the URL of your OpenTelemetry backend, such as http://127.0.0.1:4318 if you are using OpenLIT and a local OTel Collector.To send metrics and traces to other Observability tools, refer to the supported destinations.For more advanced configurations and application use cases, visit the OpenLIT Python repository or OpenLIT Typescript repository.
