Overview

Arize Phoenix is Arize’s open-source platform that offers developers the quickest way to troubleshoot, evaluate, and experiment with LLM applications.

For a detailed integration guide, see the documentation for Phoenix + Haystack

Installation

pip install openinference-instrumentation-haystack haystack-ai opentelemetry-sdk opentelemetry-exporter-otlp arize-phoenix

Usage

To trace any Haystack pipeline with Phoenix, simply initialize OpenTelemetry and the HaystackInstrumentor. Haystack pipelines that run within the same environment send traces to Phoenix.

First, start a Phoenix instance to send traces to.

python -m phoenix.server.main serve

Now let’s connect our Haystack pipeline to Phoenix using OpenTelemetry.

from openinference.instrumentation.haystack import HaystackInstrumentor
from opentelemetry.exporter.otlp.proto.http.trace_exporter import (
    OTLPSpanExporter,
)
from opentelemetry.sdk import trace as trace_sdk
from opentelemetry.sdk.trace.export import SimpleSpanProcessor

endpoint = "http://localhost:6006/v1/traces" # The URL to your Phoenix instance
tracer_provider = trace_sdk.TracerProvider()
tracer_provider.add_span_processor(SimpleSpanProcessor(OTLPSpanExporter(endpoint)))

HaystackInstrumentor().instrument(tracer_provider=tracer_provider)

Now, you can run a Haystack pipeline within the same environment, resulting in the following trace:

To run the example below, export your OpenAI Key to the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable.
