Telemetry Pipeline (Agent)

A telemetry pipeline for AI agents is the infrastructure that collects, processes, and routes observability data, logs, metrics, and traces, from agents to storage and analysis systems.

A well-designed pipeline ensures that governance-critical events are captured reliably, enriched with identity and policy context, and delivered to the right destinations with minimal latency and data loss.
