Splunk Agent Observability
Observe, evaluate, and guardrail your agents and models.
Trust your agents in production
Reliable agents need more than one check. Splunk evaluates behavior, observes performance, tracks cost, and guardrails every agent on one platform, across 100% of your traffic.
Find the root cause when an agent fails
Trace and map agent workflows from request to response, then pinpoint where quality, performance, or behavior broke down. Read latency and errors next to quality and security signals like hallucinations, bias, prompt injection, and PII leakage, so a failure points to its cause instead of a symptom.
See the infrastructure underneath, down to the GPU
With Infrastructure Monitoring, track GPU and memory use, power, and latency across models, vector databases, and the rest of your AI stack.
Evaluate and guard every interaction, affordably
Purpose-built Eval-G1 evaluation models score and protect 100% of traffic at a fraction of the cost of a frontier judge. Evaluation and guardrails run on every interaction in production, not a sampled slice.
Ensure AI performs as intended and at the right cost
Tokenomics
View and manage token cost
Track token usage and cost by request, model, agent, and workflow in Splunk Agent Observability. Read cost alongside quality so you can route each task to the right-sized model and catch runaway spend before the bill arrives.
Evaluation
Know your agents are accurate
Score performance, expression and readability, safety and compliance, and response, multimodal, RAG, and text-to-SQL quality with out-of-the-box and custom evaluators.
Visibility
Trace failures to their root cause
See the tool calls, models, and retrieval steps of a workflow from request to response to diagnose failures and get the root cause.
Guardrails
Stop risky action before execution
Turn the evaluations you trust into runtime guardrails for PII, PHI, and PCI leakage, tool misuse, and prompt injection, enforced in real time, not flagged after the fact.
Agent Observability FAQs
Splunk Agent Observability is a capability that ensures agents reliable in production. It brings together evaluation, observability, tokenomics, and guardrails so you can prove your agents are right, know what they cost, and block the actions they shouldn't take.
It evaluates agent behavior against quality, safety, and security metrics, traces every step of a workflow from request to response, tracks token cost by agent and workflow, and turns the evaluations you trust into runtime guardrails that block or steer risky actions.
It shortens root-cause analysis from days to minutes, catches quality and safety issues like hallucinations and PII leakage before they reach customers, ties AI cost to the value it delivers, and enforces guardrails in real time rather than flagging problems after the fact.
General-purpose monitoring does not see an agent's reasoning, tool calls, output quality, and more.
Evaluations and guardrails run on purpose-built small language models called Eval-G1 instead of frontier models, which makes it economically viable to score and protect 100% of production traffic rather than a small sample.
