Phoenix provides seamless observability and tracing for BeeAI agents through the Python OpenInference instrumentation package.

​
Launch Phoenix

  • Phoenix Cloud
  • Command Line
  • Docker
  • Notebook
Sign up for Phoenix:
  1. Sign up for an Arize Phoenix account at https://app.phoenix.arize.com/login
  2. Click Create Space, then follow the prompts to create and launch your space.
Install packages:
pip install arize-phoenix-otel
Set your Phoenix endpoint and API Key:From your new Phoenix Space
  1. Create your API key from the Settings page
  2. Copy your Hostname from the Settings page
  3. In your code, set your endpoint and API key: 
import os

os.environ["PHOENIX_API_KEY"] = "ADD YOUR PHOENIX API KEY"
os.environ["PHOENIX_COLLECTOR_ENDPOINT"] = "ADD YOUR PHOENIX HOSTNAME"

# If you created your Phoenix Cloud instance before June 24th, 2025,
# you also need to set the API key as a header:
# os.environ["PHOENIX_CLIENT_HEADERS"] = f"api_key={os.getenv('PHOENIX_API_KEY')}"

​
Install

pip install openinference-instrumentation-beeai beeai-framework

​
Setup

Connect to your Phoenix instance using the register function. 
from phoenix.otel import register

# configure the Phoenix tracer
tracer_provider = register(
  project_name="beeai-agent", # Default is 'default'
  auto_instrument=True # Auto-instrument your app based on installed OI dependencies
)

​
Run BeeAI

Sample agent built using BeeAI with automatic tracing: 
import asyncio
from beeai_framework.agents.react import ReActAgent
from beeai_framework.agents.types import AgentExecutionConfig
from beeai_framework.backend.chat import ChatModel
from beeai_framework.backend.types import ChatModelParameters
from beeai_framework.memory import TokenMemory
from beeai_framework.tools.search.duckduckgo import DuckDuckGoSearchTool
from beeai_framework.tools.search.wikipedia import WikipediaTool
from beeai_framework.tools.tool import AnyTool
from beeai_framework.tools.weather.openmeteo import OpenMeteoTool

llm = ChatModel.from_name(
    "ollama:granite3.1-dense:8b",
    ChatModelParameters(temperature=0),
)

tools: list[AnyTool] = [
    WikipediaTool(),
    OpenMeteoTool(),
    DuckDuckGoSearchTool(),
]

agent = ReActAgent(llm=llm, tools=tools, memory=TokenMemory(llm))

prompt = "What's the current weather in Las Vegas?"

async def main() -> None:
    response = await agent.run(
        prompt=prompt,
        execution=AgentExecutionConfig(
            max_retries_per_step=3, total_max_retries=10, max_iterations=20
        ),
    )

    print("Agent 🤖 : ", response.result.text)

asyncio.run(main())

Observe

Phoenix provides visibility into your BeeAI agent operations by automatically tracing all interactions.
