Overview
Monitor production models in real-time with comprehensive observability
The future of AI is agentic—autonomous systems that reason, plan, and coordinate across multiple agents to solve complex problems. Fiddler Observability is built for this future, providing comprehensive monitoring across traditional ML models, LLM applications, and emerging multi-agent systems.
The Challenge: Exponential Complexity
As AI evolves from static models to autonomous agents, observability complexity grows exponentially:
Multi-agent systems require 26x more monitoring resources than single-agent applications
Non-deterministic behavior breaks traditional APM frameworks designed for predictable code
Cascading failures across agent hierarchies create unprecedented debugging challenges
90% of enterprises cite security, trust, and compliance as top concerns for agentic AI
Fiddler provides the unified observability platform that scales from simple models to complex agentic workflows—all powered by the same Trust Service foundation.
Agentic Observability
Fiddler's agentic observability provides hierarchical visibility into multi-agent systems, tracking the complete lifecycle of autonomous reasoning and coordination.
The Five Observable Stages
Every agent operates through five distinct stages that require specialized monitoring:
Stage-by-Stage Observability:
Thought: Monitor how agents ingest data, retrieve context, and interpret information
Action: Track planning processes, tool selection, and decision-making logic
Execution: Observe task performance, API calls, and external integrations
Reflection: Capture self-evaluation, learning signals, and adaptation decisions
Alignment: Verify trust, safety, and policy enforcement at every step
Hierarchical Monitoring Architecture
Agentic systems operate across multiple levels of abstraction. Fiddler provides observability at each layer:
Hierarchical Root Cause Analysis:
Trace issues from user-facing symptoms down to individual tool calls
Understand cross-agent dependencies and coordination failures
Analyze patterns across sessions to identify systemic issues
Full context preservation for debugging non-deterministic behavior
