- Error Rate Monitoring: Identify failing requests and error patterns
- Tool Call Analytics: Analyze which tools are used most frequently
Access:
Google Cloud Console → Vertex AI → Agent Builder → Agent Engine → [Your Agent] → Observability
Metrics Available:
agent_engine/token_count- Total tokens processedagent_engine/latency- Response latency percentiles (p50, p95, p99)agent_engine/error_rate- Percentage of failed requestsagent_engine/tool_calls- Tool invocation frequency
