What is OpenLIT Operator for Kubernetes?

It's a K8s operator that auto-injects OpenTelemetry into LLM and agent pods—no code changes—for traces, metrics on tokens, latency, costs.

How do you set up zero-code observability for LLMs on Kubernetes?

Install via Helm, create instrumentation policies with label selectors, point OTLP to Grafana Cloud; pods get traced automatically on next deploy.

Yes—natively integrates, feeding agent workflows, token usage, and costs to pre-built AI dashboards.
