Description

This PR introduces the official OpenTelemetry instrumentation package for the Groq Python SDK (opentelemetry-instrumentation-genai-groq).

It captures telemetry data from the Groq SDK following the official GenAI Semantic Conventions, including models used, token usage, and latency.

Included:

  • Fully compliant instrumentation logic for Groq chat completions
  • Conformance tests and strict Pytest validation
  • End-to-end zero-code and manual examples
  • Required updates to pyproject.toml, tox.ini, and uv lock files

Fixes # (Add your issue number here if you have one, or delete this line)

Type of change

  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • This change requires a documentation update

How has this been tested?

The instrumentation was fully tested locally against both the OpenTelemetry API and the GenAI semantic conventions standard.

  • All pre-commit hooks (rstcheck, ruff) and type-checking (pyright) passed
  • Test suite passing locally (tox -e py312-test-instrumentation-genai-groq-latest)
  • End-to-end trace verification using the zero-code example connected to a local SigNoz OTLP endpoint.

Thanks a lot for your contribution. Couple of things:

  1. Can you please check if groq has native instrumentation?
  2. If yes, can you see if they're emitting genai spans or not.
  3. After this analysis can you please cut down the verbosity of this pr? You can space it like: skeleton, inference spans, agent spans etc. For now if you don't mind can you please close this pr and first let me know if 1 & 2 are not in place before we proceed adding the telemetry support.

Pull request overview

This PR adds a new GenAI instrumentation package, opentelemetry-instrumentation-genai-groq, to capture Groq Python SDK chat-completions telemetry using the shared opentelemetry-util-genai implementation and GenAI semantic conventions, along with tests and runnable examples.

Changes:

  • Introduces the new Groq instrumentation package (instrumentor + patching + streaming wrappers).
  • Adds unit tests + conformance scenario and VCR cassettes.
  • Wires the package into the monorepo tooling (tox envs, uv workspace lock), and adds README/examples + a changelog fragment.

  • The arguments to groq_client.chat.completions.create(...) are mis-indented, which makes this test file invalid Python (syntax error) and will prevent the test suite from running.

  • The system/provider assertion is currently non-deterministic (uses or with a hard-coded attribute key). This can hide failures and doesn't enforce the semconv key usage. Also, use the semconv constant for the response-model attribute instead of a raw string key.

@eternalcuriouslearner Thanks for the feedback and guidance, Here are the answers to your questions:

I checked Groq's Python SDK and platform documentation. They do not currently offer native OpenTelemetry instrumentation, nor do they emit GenAI semantic conventions out of the box. This validates the need for our custom instrumentation package.

I've resolved the issues pointed out in the review. I removed the unused GenAiSystemValues (and other unused attributes) to satisfy ruff, fixed the hardcoded model attribute to use the standard GEN_AI_RESPONSE_MODEL semconv constant, and cleaned up the environment variable names in the example app to be Groq-specific.

I completely understand the desire to cut down on verbosity and make reviews easier by spacing out the PRs . However, since the PR is now fully fleshed out—with complete test coverage for sync/async, streaming, and error handling (using dummy VCR cassettes as requested), and all CI gates (linting, type-checking, and tox tests) passing locally—I was hoping we could keep this one open and proceed with it. I believe the implementation is in a solid state, and splitting it up now might add unnecessary overhead. Let me know if you are open to reviewing it as-is, or if you still strongly prefer I break it down.

@lmolkova Thanks for the detailed review. I've gone ahead and fixed all the flagged issues. Here is a quick summary of the changes:

Cleaned up imports: Removed unused boilerplate imports to satisfy ruff and properly ordered typing imports for isort.
Fixed example boilerplate: Updated the manual example to use Groq-specific variables (e.g., GROQ_BASE_URL), service names, and comments instead of leftover OpenAI ones.
Corrected versioning: Bumped version.py to 1.0b0.dev to align with the rest of the workspace.
Enhanced test coverage: Swapped the hardcoded attribute name for the GEN_AI_RESPONSE_MODEL semconv constant. I've also expanded the test suite to include full coverage for async clients, streaming responses, and required error scenarios (using VCR cassettes).
Could you please re-trigger the Copilot review so we can verify that everything is passing now?

Yes can you please raise an issue on the parent repository of grok to see if they're interested in adding native instrumentation meanwhile we can push this?

  • Same issue as the sync wrapper: Error.type must be a string, but type(error) is a class object. Use Error.from_exception(error) (or pass the exception directly).
        except Exception as error:
            chat_invocation.fail(Error(type=type(error), message=str(error)))
            raise

instrumentation/opentelemetry-instrumentation-genai-groq/src/opentelemetry/instrumentation/genai/groq/patch.py:54

  • Error.type is defined as a low-cardinality string, but this constructs it with type(error) (a class object). That will produce invalid error.type attributes and may break conformance/exporters. Use Error.from_exception(error) (or pass the exception directly to fail).

This issue also appears on line 89 of the same file.

        except Exception as error:
            chat_invocation.fail(Error(type=type(error), message=str(error)))
            raise

instrumentation/opentelemetry-instrumentation-genai-groq/tests/test_chat_completions.py:187

  • There is trailing whitespace on blank lines in this block, which will fail formatting/lint checks.
    instrumentation/opentelemetry-instrumentation-genai-groq/tests/test_chat_completions.py:40
  • This assertion is ambiguous (it passes if either attribute is set). The util-genai path emits gen_ai.provider.name; the test should assert the exact attribute name/value to keep validation strict.
    instrumentation/opentelemetry-instrumentation-genai-groq/tests/test_chat_completions.py:13
  • After tightening the provider-name assertion, GEN_AI_SYSTEM becomes unused and will fail linting; remove it from the imports.

@eternalcuriouslearner Thanks for the review! I've pushed a new batch of commits to address all the failing CI checks:
Here is a quick summary of what was fixed:

Removed leftover unused imports and correctly ordered the mock imports.

Fixed the oldest dependency test failures by pinning httpx==0.27.2 in requirements.oldest.txt (bypassing a known compatibility bug with older versions of httpx and groq 0.6.0).

Added the required changelog fragment and fixed a broken URL in the README.

Hi @royrhea — just a friendly reminder that this pull request is waiting on you.

There are still items that need your attention. See the dashboard status comment for the full list. You don't need to push a code change to hand it back — replying to move each discussion forward is enough, whether that's answering a question, explaining why no change is needed, or asking a follow-up. The dashboard then automatically routes it back to reviewers.

If you believe this pull request is incorrectly routed as waiting on the author, comment /dashboard route:reviewers to route it from waiting on the author to waiting on reviewers.
