Agentic infrastructure needs agentic observability | ODSP933
Traditional observability breaks when agents, not humans, become the primary consumers of telemetry.
“Logs were built for events. Agents produce decision breadcrumbs.”
A groundcover solutions engineer argues at Microsoft Build that the observability category is breaking because logs, traces, and dashboards assumed a human investigator, while AI agents now produce non-deterministic reasoning trails rather than discrete events. It matters because monitoring and debugging tooling may need fundamental redesign as agents increasingly write, operate, and debug software without humans in the loop.
