## Built-in observability

AI Studio includes the following observability features out of the box:

[**Event logs**  
View a real-time log of platform events including API requests, errors, and  
agents interactions.](https://dev.writer.com/home/event-logs)

[**Agent observability**  
Monitor individual agent performance with session logs, engagement metrics,  
and usage data.](https://dev.writer.com/home/agent-observability)

[**Usage and spend**  
Track organization-wide costs, token consumption, and spending trends.](https://dev.writer.com/home/usage-and-spend)

## External observability

To stream logs and metrics to monitoring platforms your organization already uses, configure an observability plugin. Plugins forward request-level data from AI Studio to external tools, giving you centralized visibility alongside the rest of your infrastructure.

[**Configure plugins**  
Set up integrations with platforms like Datadog to stream logs, metrics, and  
traces from AI Studio.](https://dev.writer.com/home/plugins-overview)
