Overview

Monte Carlo offers the ability to monitor traces produced by your AI agents by collecting instrumentation using OpenTelemetry. You can choose between two deployment options for the OpenTelemetry collector:

Self-Hosted Collector - Deploy the OpenTelemetry Collector service and telemetry data store in your account.
Monte Carlo-Hosted Collector - Use Monte Carlo's hosted OpenTelemetry Collector service and only deploy the telemetry data store in your account.

This document describes option 2, using the Monte Carlo-hosted collector. For option 1, refer to this document.

The deployment process varies depending on your cloud provider and preferred IaC tools. Select the guide relevant to your vendor and IaC tool to create and register an Open Telemetry data store:

Cloud Vendor	IaC Tool	Guide
AWS	CloudFormation	Deploy the OpenTelemetry data store to AWS with CloudFormation
