What the release notes say

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. Get started Configure the telemetry property in your enterprise's managed-settings.json file to enable export and specify the endpoint that will receive the data. Prompt and response content is excluded by default—review your content-capture settings before enabling it.
