Overview
This guide shows you how to integrate Latitude Telemetry into an application that uses Google Cloud Vertex AI.
You’ll keep calling Vertex AI exactly as you do today. Telemetry simply
observes and enriches those calls.
Requirements
- A Latitude account and API key
- A Latitude project slug
- A project that uses the Vertex AI SDK
Steps
Install
npm install @latitude-data/telemetry
pip install latitude-telemetry
Initialize and use
import { Latitude, capture } from "@latitude-data/telemetry"
import { VertexAI } from "@google-cloud/vertexai"
import * as VertexAISDK from "@google-cloud/vertexai"
const latitude = new Latitude({
apiKey: process.env.LATITUDE_API_KEY!,
project: process.env.LATITUDE_PROJECT_SLUG!,
instrumentations: { vertexai: VertexAISDK },
})
await latitude.ready
const vertexAI = new VertexAI({
project: process.env.GCP_PROJECT_ID!,
location: "us-central1",
})
const model = vertexAI.getGenerativeModel({ model: "gemini-1.5-flash" })
await capture("generate-reply", async () => {
const result = await model.generateContent("Hello")
return result.response.candidates?.[0].content.parts[0].text
})
await latitude.shutdown()
import vertexai
from vertexai.generative_models import GenerativeModel
from latitude_telemetry import Latitude, capture
latitude = Latitude(
api_key="your-api-key",
project="your-project-slug",
instrumentations={"vertexai": vertexai},
)
vertexai.init(project="your-gcp-project", location="us-central1")
model = GenerativeModel("gemini-1.5-flash")
def generate_reply():
response = model.generate_content("Hello")
return response.text
capture("generate-reply", generate_reply)
latitude.shutdown()
Seeing Your Traces
Once connected, traces appear automatically in Latitude:
- Open your project in the Latitude dashboard
- Each execution shows input/output messages, model, token usage, latency, and errors
That’s It
No changes to your Vertex AI calls: just initialize Latitude and your LLM calls are traced.
