OpenTelemetry in the GitHub Copilot app

GitHub Copilot now supports OpenTelemetry (OTel) configuration through enterprise-managed settings, letting administrators export agent activity data to their organization's compatible monitoring tools. Administrators enable the export by configuring the `telemetry` property in the enterprise `managed-settings.json` file and specifying the receiving endpoint, with prompt and response content excluded by default. The integration lets teams trace agent sessions, including requests to AI models and the tools an agent uses, and apply telemetry settings centrally across teams.

OpenTelemetry in the GitHub Copilot app Understand how Copilot agents perform and interact with models and tools. The GitHub Copilot app now supports OpenTelemetry OTel configuration through enterprise-managed settings. OTel is an open source observability framework. Administrators can use it to send agent activity data to their organization’s compatible monitoring tools. This helps teams: - Analyze agent sessions: Follow the flow of a session, including requests to AI models and the tools an agent uses. - Investigate unexpected behavior: Review step-by-step traces of agent execution in their existing monitoring tools. - Manage monitoring centrally: Apply telemetry settings across teams instead of requiring each developer to individually configure them.

Prompt and response content is excluded by default—review your content-capture settings before enabling it.
