Multi-DB Tracing with setup_tracing()

Trace agents with multiple databases using setup_tracing() in AgentOS.

This example shows how to configure tracing when agents have separate databases using setup_tracing(). A dedicated tracing database ensures all traces are stored in one central location.

1. Create a Python file

   tracing_multi_db_setup.py

   from agno.agent import Agent
   from agno.db.sqlite import SqliteDb
   from agno.models.openai import OpenAIResponses
   from agno.os import AgentOS
   from agno.tools.hackernews import HackerNewsTools
   from agno.tools.hackernews import HackerNewsTools
   from agno.tracing import setup_tracing
   
   # Set up databases - each agent has its own db
   db1 = SqliteDb(db_file="tmp/db1.db", id="db1")
   db2 = SqliteDb(db_file="tmp/db2.db", id="db2")
   
   # Dedicated traces database
   db = SqliteDb(db_file="tmp/traces.db", id="traces")
   
   # Setup tracing with custom configuration
   setup_tracing(
       db=db,
       batch_processing=True,
       max_queue_size=1024,
       max_export_batch_size=256,
   )
   
   agent = Agent(
       name="HackerNews Agent",
       model=OpenAIResponses(id="gpt-5.2"),
       tools=[HackerNewsTools()],
       instructions="You are a hacker news agent. Answer questions concisely.",
       markdown=True,
       db=db1,
   )
   
   agent2 = Agent(
       name="Web Search Agent",
       model=OpenAIResponses(id="gpt-5.2"),
       tools=[HackerNewsTools()],
       instructions="You are a web search agent. Answer questions concisely.",
       markdown=True,
       db=db2,
   )
   
   # Setup AgentOS with dedicated db
   # This ensures traces are written to and read from the same database
   agent_os = AgentOS(
       description="Example app for tracing with multiple databases",
       agents=[agent, agent2],
       db=db,  # Dedicated database for traces
   )
   app = agent_os.get_app()
   
   if __name__ == "__main__":
       agent_os.serve(app="tracing_multi_db_setup:app", reload=True)
   
2. Set up your virtual environment

   Mac

   uv venv --python 3.12
   source .venv/bin/activate
   
3. Install dependencies

   uv pip install -U openai agno opentelemetry-api opentelemetry-sdk openinference-instrumentation-agno
   
4. Export your OpenAI API key

   Mac/Linux

   export OPENAI_API_KEY="your_openai_api_key_here"
   
5. Run AgentOS

   python tracing_multi_db_setup.py
   

   Your AgentOS will be available at http://localhost:7777. View traces in the AgentOS dashboard.
