How to Configure Plugins in AI Studio
This page covers how to configure plugins in AI Studio. Plugins enable your organization to stream telemetry and security data to existing monitoring platforms, giving platform admins, security ops, and data ops teams visibility into AI Studio activity from the tools they already use. AI Studio supports two categories of plugins:
- Observability plugins: Stream logs and metrics to external monitoring platforms for centralized analysis.
- Security plugins: Connect third-party guardrails providers to AI Studio. Admins enable a security plugin on the Plugins page, which allows individual guardrails to be created and configured on the Guardrails page.
Plugins are available on enterprise plans. Org admins, IT admins, and users with AI Studio full access roles can add and manage plugins.
How plugins work
Plugins stream monitoring data from AI Studio directly into your existing observability and security tools, giving you centralized visibility across every agent, interaction, and cost in your deployment. With plugins configured, admins can:
- Monitor agent activity in the same dashboards and alerting workflows used across the rest of the organization.
- Audit agent behavior by streaming request-level metadata to external logging and compliance tools.
- Enforce security policies by routing agent interactions through third-party guardrails providers.
