Spring AI Built-in Observability

Spring AI 2.0 includes built-in Micrometer instrumentation:

spring:
  ai:
    chat:
      client:
        observations:
          log-prompt: true       # OFF in prod (PII).
          log-completion: true
      observations:
        log-prompt: true         # ChatModel prompt logging; OFF in prod (PII).
        log-completion: true
        include-error-logging: true
management:
  metrics:
    tags:
      application: order-service
  endpoints:
    web:
      exposure:
        include: health,prometheus,metrics

Auto-generated metrics (OpenTelemetry GenAI semantic conventions):

  • gen_ai.client.operation — model call latency, tagged with provider and model
  • gen_ai.client.token.usage — token counts (input/output/total)
  • spring.ai.chat.client — ChatClient-level operation timer/span

Custom AI Metrics

@Component
@RequiredArgsConstructor
public class AiMetrics {

    private final MeterRegistry meterRegistry;

    private final Timer.Builder promptTimer = Timer.builder("ai.prompt.latency")
        .description("LLM prompt latency");

    private final Counter.Builder tokenCounter = Counter.builder("ai.tokens.used")
        .description("Total tokens consumed");

    public <T> T track(String operation, String model, Supplier<T> call) {
        return Timer.builder("ai.prompt.latency")
            .tag("operation", operation)
            .tag("model", model)
            .register(meterRegistry)
            .recordCallable(() -> call.get());
    }

    public void recordTokens(String operation, String model, int inputTokens, int outputTokens) {
        Counter.builder("ai.tokens.used")
            .tag("operation", operation)
            .tag("model", model)
            .tag("type", "input")
            .register(meterRegistry)
            .increment(inputTokens);

        Counter.builder("ai.tokens.used")
            .tag("operation", operation)
            .tag("model", model)
            .tag("type", "output")
            .register(meterRegistry)
            .increment(outputTokens);
    }
}

Prompt/Response Logging Advisor

Spring AI 2.0 uses the GA advisor API: CallAdvisor, ChatClientRequest,

ChatClientResponse, and Usage.getCompletionTokens(). Agents still often generate the

pre-GA CallAroundAdvisor / AdvisedRequest API — it does not compile.

@Component
public class AiAuditAdvisor implements CallAdvisor {

    private static final Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(AiAuditAdvisor.class);

    @Override
    public ChatClientResponse adviseCall(ChatClientRequest request, CallAdvisorChain chain) {
        String requestId = UUID.randomUUID().toString();
        long start = System.currentTimeMillis();

        log.info("[AI-AUDIT] requestId={} promptLength={}",
            requestId, request.prompt().getUserMessage().getText().length());

        try {
            ChatClientResponse response = chain.nextCall(request);
            long latency = System.currentTimeMillis() - start;

            ChatResponse chatResponse = response.chatResponse();
            if (chatResponse != null && chatResponse.getMetadata() != null) {
                Usage usage = chatResponse.getMetadata().getUsage();
                log.info("[AI-AUDIT] requestId={} latencyMs={} inputTokens={} outputTokens={}",
                    requestId, latency,
                    usage.getPromptTokens(), usage.getCompletionTokens()); // GA: not getGenerationTokens()
            }
            return response;
        } catch (Exception e) {
            log.error("[AI-AUDIT] requestId={} FAILED after {}ms", requestId,
                System.currentTimeMillis() - start, e);
            throw e;
        }
    }

    @Override
    public String getName() { return "AiAuditAdvisor"; }

    @Override
    public int getOrder() { return Ordered.LOWEST_PRECEDENCE; }
}

Cost Estimation

@Service
public class AiCostEstimator {

    // Prices per million tokens — update when pricing changes
    private static final Map<String, double[]> PRICING = Map.of(
        "claude-sonnet-4-20250514", new double[]{3.0, 15.0},  // [input, output] per 1M tokens
        "claude-haiku-4-5-20251001", new double[]{0.8, 4.0},
        "gpt-4o", new double[]{5.0, 15.0},
        "gpt-4o-mini", new double[]{0.15, 0.6}
    );

    public double estimateCost(String model, int inputTokens, int outputTokens) {
        double[] prices = PRICING.getOrDefault(model, new double[]{5.0, 15.0});
        return (inputTokens * prices[0] + outputTokens * prices[1]) / 1_000_000;
    }
}

Structured AI Audit Log (DB)

@Entity
@Table(name = "ai_audit_log")
public class AiAuditLog {
    @Id @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.UUID)
    private UUID id;
    private String operation;
    private String model;
    private int inputTokens;
    private int outputTokens;
    private double estimatedCostUsd;
    private long latencyMs;
    private boolean success;
    private Instant createdAt;
}

// Async to avoid blocking main flow
@Async
public void saveAuditLog(AiAuditLog log) {
    auditLogRepository.save(log);
}

Gotchas

  • Agent implements CallAroundAdvisor/AdvisedRequest — removed before Spring AI 2.0; use CallAdvisor/ChatClientRequest
  • Agent calls usage.getGenerationTokens() — use getCompletionTokens()
  • Agent logs full prompts in production — keep log-prompt: false for PII safety
  • Agent skips async on audit saves — always @Async to avoid latency impact, and put the @Async method on a separate bean; calling it on this bypasses the proxy and runs synchronously
  • Agent hardcodes token pricing — extract to config, prices change
  • Agent misses failed calls in metrics — track errors separately with error tag

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take rrezartprebreza/spring-boot-ai-observability from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
