OpenAI Agents TraceProvider

An OpenAI Agents TraceProvider is an OpenAI agents trace component that initializes global trace collection and manages trace lifecycle operations.

• AKA: OpenAI Agents Trace Initializer, OpenAI Agents Trace Manager, OpenAI Agents Global Trace Provider.
• Context:
  • It can typically create OpenAI Agents Trace Context through initialization routines.
  • It can typically configure OpenAI Agents Span Processors via pipeline setup.
  • It can typically register OpenAI Agents Span Exporters for backend integration.
  • It can often manage OpenAI Agents Resource Attributes through metadata configuration.
  • It can often control OpenAI Agents Sampling Decisions via sampling strategies.
  • It can often coordinate OpenAI Agents Trace Propagation across service boundaries.
  • It can often handle OpenAI Agents Provider Shutdown through cleanup operations.
  • It can range from being a Simple OpenAI Agents TraceProvider to being a Advanced OpenAI Agents TraceProvider, depending on its feature complexity.
  • It can range from being a Single-Backend OpenAI Agents TraceProvider to being a Multi-Backend OpenAI Agents TraceProvider, depending on its export targets.
  • It can range from being a Synchronous OpenAI Agents TraceProvider to being an Asynchronous OpenAI Agents TraceProvider, depending on its processing model.
  • It can range from being a Local OpenAI Agents TraceProvider to being a Distributed OpenAI Agents TraceProvider, depending on its deployment scope.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • OpenAI Agents TraceProvider Components, such as:
    • OpenAI Agents BatchTraceProcessor for span batching operations.
    • OpenAI Agents BackendSpanExporter for trace export functionality.
    • OpenAI Agents Resource Manager for resource attribute handling.
  • OpenAI Agents TraceProvider Operations, such as:
    • Provider Initialization setting up trace infrastructure.
    • Span Creation generating new span instances.
    • Context Propagation maintaining trace continuity.
  • OpenAI Agents TraceProvider Configurations, such as:
    • Development Provider Setup with verbose logging enabled.
    • Production Provider Setup with optimized performance.
    • Multi-Service Provider Setup for distributed systems.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Simple Logger, which lacks trace context management.
  • Event Emitter, which handles discrete events rather than trace hierarchies.
  • Metric Collector, which gathers numerical data rather than trace spans.
