Learn how to set up Sentry LLM Monitoring

Sentry LLM Monitoring is easiest to use with the Python SDK and an official integration like OpenAI.

LLM Monitoring User Interface

To start sending LLM data to Sentry, make sure you've created a Sentry project for your AI-enabled repository and follow one of the guides below:

The Sentry LLM Monitoring feature relies on the fact that you have an orchestrator (like LangChain) creating pipelines of one or more LLMs (such as gpt-4). In the LLM Monitoring dashboard, we show you a table of the AI pipelines and pull the token usage from your LLMs.

If you're using a provider like OpenAI without an orchestrator like LangChain, you'll need to manually create pipelines with the @ai_track annotation. If you're using a non-supported LLM provider and want to record token usage, use the record_token_usage() helper function. Both manual helpers are documented below.

The Python SDK includes an @ai_track decorator which will mark functions as AI-related and cause them to show up in the LLM Monitoring dashboard.
