A wide Discover Drupal graphic pairs small robot icons with a monitor displaying bar and pie charts to represent AI performance monitoring. Text reads "DISCOVER DRUPAL. Drupal AI Observability with Grafana. Tracing requests. latency. costs. and nested agent activity. Follow us on. LinkedIn. Facebook. Reddit. X. https www.thedroptimes.com. THE DROP TIMES."

A new video from the Drupal AI Videos channel demonstrates a self-hosted observability stack for AI calls made from Drupal. Published on 29 July 2026, the recording uses the One Line Installer to create a Drupal site with Grafana, Alloy, Tempo, Mimir, Loki, and demo AI agents. The video shows dashboards for request volume, errors, latency, token use, model cost estimates, and parent-to-sub-agent traces.

The AI Observability OpenTelemetry Recipe configures the AI module and OpenTelemetry components to send telemetry to Alloy. Alloy routes traces to Tempo, metrics to Mimir, and logs to Loki, with Grafana providing the monitoring interface. In the demonstrated configuration, models.dev supplies pricing data, while the agent-session view displays nested calls and the messages exchanged between agents.

The presenter also pauses to add an agent debugging interface and says the AI Agents Debugger should be included in the demo configuration. At publication, Drupal.org lists the recipe at 1.0.0-alpha3 and the installer at 2.0.0-alpha1; the recipe is not covered by Drupal’s security advisory policy, and the installer has no supported stable release. The recording states that it was sponsored by FreelyGive.
