Requirements

OpenInference JavaScript requires:
  • Node.js 10 or higher
  • npm, yarn, or pnpm package manager

​
Installation

​
Core Dependencies

First, install the OpenTelemetry SDK packages: 
npm install --save @opentelemetry/exporter-trace-otlp-http \
  @opentelemetry/exporter-trace-otlp-proto \
  @opentelemetry/resources \
  @opentelemetry/sdk-trace-node \
  @opentelemetry/instrumentation

​
Instrumentation Packages

Install the instrumentation for your LLM framework: 
# OpenAI
npm install --save @arizeai/openinference-instrumentation-openai

# LangChain
npm install --save @arizeai/openinference-instrumentation-langchain

# Anthropic
npm install --save @arizeai/openinference-instrumentation-anthropic

# AWS Bedrock
npm install --save @arizeai/openinference-instrumentation-bedrock

​
Manual Instrumentation

For manual instrumentation, install the semantic conventions package: 
npm install --save @arizeai/openinference-semantic-conventions

​
Core Utilities (Optional)

For advanced tracing features like context propagation and span wrappers: 
npm install --save @arizeai/openinference-core

​
Basic Setup

Create an instrumentation file to configure OpenTelemetry:
instrumentation.ts
import { registerInstrumentations } from "@opentelemetry/instrumentation";
import { NodeTracerProvider } from "@opentelemetry/sdk-trace-node";
import { OpenAIInstrumentation } from "@arizeai/openinference-instrumentation-openai";

const provider = new NodeTracerProvider();
provider.register();

registerInstrumentations({
  instrumentations: [new OpenAIInstrumentation()],
});
The instrumentation must run before any other code in your application. Load it using the -r flag:
node -r ./instrumentation.js ./app.js
