Find the cause below the application layer

Follow a bad answer or a dead run all the way down to the chip that produced it, with the agent trace and the hardware event on one timeline.

Catch failures that start below the code

The root cause often hides behind the orchestration layer: the model hallucinated, the agent used a tool it shouldn't, the infrastructure quietly ran up the bill, or the hardware buckled.

Trace and map a multi-agent workflow, from request to response

Follow one request from end to end. See how agents hand off work, where steps slow down, and where things go wrong. A trace shows an agent's reasoning, so you can read what it did and why, not just that it failed.

Correlate the agent and infrastructure on one timeline

Correlated telemetry helps you visualize early signals of performance issues. When a token surge, saturated GPU, latency spike, rising ECC errors, and Xid 79 event appear together, teams can identify risk sooner, troubleshoot faster, and act before the run dies.

ee the tool calls, models, and retrieval steps of a workflow from request to response, then connect that behavior to the infrastructure it ran on. Root cause shows up on one timeline, not in four disconnected tools.

Track GPU and memory use, power, and time-to-first-token across models, vector databases, and the rest of the AI stack. When a token surge meets a saturated GPU, the slow response stops being a mystery.

Read a failed run step by step

Walk a single timeline from an ECC spike to a thermal or power anomaly, to Xid 79 and a dead run, with the agent trace and the GPU telemetry side by side. The answer to "why did it fail?" lives in one view.

See the cascade before the run fails

Catastrophic failures rarely arrive without warning. The early signals are visible, so correlated telemetry can warn you while there is still time to recover the run before it dies at hour 47.

Watch availability and health across the AI stack so degradation surfaces early. Catch the rising ECC count or the saturating cache before it becomes a dead run at hour 47.

Pure-play AI tools see the prompt but never the chip. General-purpose monitoring sees the GPU but never the agent's reasoning or the network fabric. Splunk and Cisco span the full stack, so a bad answer and the silicon that caused it land in one place.

Agent Observability and Tracing FAQs

Tracing follows a single request end to end across a multi-agent workflow, capturing every tool call, model, and retrieval step along with the agent's reasoning, then connecting that behavior to the infrastructure it ran on.

The cause usually hides below the application layer, in one of four places: the model was wrong, the agent did something it shouldn't, it quietly cost a fortune, or the hardware buckled.

Yes. A token surge, a saturated GPU, and a latency spike can be placed on one timeline, so a slow or failed run points to its real cause instead of a symptom.

When you run open-weight models on your own hardware, there is no provider status page to check. Correlated telemetry lets you follow a failure down to the chip and catch early signals like rising ECC errors before a long run dies.

Splunk Agent Observability is built on the Splunk data platform and correlated with Cisco infrastructure, so the agent's reasoning trace, output quality, cost, and the underlying GPUs, vector databases, and network fabric all live in one system of record.
