Log Proxy Input, Output, Exceptions using Custom Callbacks, Langfuse, OpenTelemetry, LangFuse, DynamoDB, s3 Bucket

Custom Callback Class [Async]​

Use this when you want to run custom callbacks in python

Step 1 - Create your custom litellm callback class​

We use litellm.integrations.custom_logger for this, more details about litellm custom callbacks here

Define your custom callback class in a python file.

Here's an example custom logger for tracking key, user, model, prompt, response, tokens, cost. We create a file called custom_callbacks.py and initialize proxy_handler_instance 

from litellm.integrations.custom_logger import CustomLogger
import litellm

# This file includes the custom callbacks for LiteLLM Proxy
# Once defined, these can be passed in proxy_config.yaml
class MyCustomHandler(CustomLogger):
    def log_pre_api_call(self, model, messages, kwargs): 
        print(f"Pre-API Call")
    
    def log_post_api_call(self, kwargs, response_obj, start_time, end_time): 
        print(f"Post-API Call")

    def log_stream_event(self, kwargs, response_obj, start_time, end_time):
        print(f"On Stream")
        
    def log_success_event(self, kwargs, response_obj, start_time, end_time): 
        print("On Success")

    def log_failure_event(self, kwargs, response_obj, start_time, end_time): 
        print(f"On Failure")

    async def async_log_success_event(self, kwargs, response_obj, start_time, end_time):
        print(f"On Async Success!")
        # log: key, user, model, prompt, response, tokens, cost
        # Access kwargs passed to litellm.completion()
        model = kwargs.get("model", None)
        messages = kwargs.get("messages", None)
        user = kwargs.get("user", None)

        # Access litellm_params passed to litellm.completion(), example access `metadata`
        litellm_params = kwargs.get("litellm_params", {})
        metadata = litellm_params.get("metadata", {})   # headers passed to LiteLLM proxy, can be found here

        # Calculate cost using  litellm.completion_cost()
        cost = litellm.completion_cost(completion_response=response_obj)
        response = response_obj
        # tokens used in response 
        usage = response_obj["usage"]

        print(
            f"""

        )
        return

    async def async_log_failure_event(self, kwargs, response_obj, start_time, end_time): 
        try:
            print(f"On Async Failure !")
            print("\nkwargs", kwargs)
            # Access kwargs passed to litellm.completion()
            model = kwargs.get("model", None)

            )
        except Exception as e:
            print(f"Exception: {e}")

proxy_handler_instance = MyCustomHandler()

# Set litellm.callbacks = [proxy_handler_instance] on the proxy
# need to set litellm.callbacks = [proxy_handler_instance] # on the proxy

Step 2 - Pass your custom callback class in config.yaml​

We pass the custom callback class defined in Step1 to the config.yaml. Set callbacks to python_filename.logger_instance_name

In the config below, we pass

  • python_filename: custom_callbacks.py
  • logger_instance_name: proxy_handler_instance. This is defined in Step 1

callbacks: custom_callbacks.proxy_handler_instance

model_list:
  - model_name: gpt-3.5-turbo
    litellm_params:
      model: gpt-3.5-turbo

litellm_settings:
  callbacks: custom_callbacks.proxy_handler_instance # sets litellm.callbacks = [proxy_handler_instance]

Step 3 - Start proxy + test request​

litellm --config proxy_config.yaml
curl --location 'http://0.0.0.0:4000/chat/completions' \
    --header 'Authorization: Bearer sk-1234' \
    --data ' {
    "model": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
    "messages": [
        {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "good morning good sir"
        }
    ],
    "user": "ishaan-app",
    "temperature": 0.2
    }'

Resulting Log on Proxy​

On Success
    Model: gpt-3.5-turbo,
    Messages: [{'role': 'user', 'content': 'good morning good sir'}],
    User: ishaan-app,
    Usage: {'completion_tokens': 10, 'prompt_tokens': 11, 'total_tokens': 21},
    Cost: 3.65e-05,
    Response: {'id': 'chatcmpl-8S8avKJ1aVBg941y5xzGMSKrYCMvN', 'choices': [{'finish_reason': 'stop', 'index': 0, 'message': {'content': 'Good morning!

    Proxy Metadata: {'user_api_key': None, 'headers': Headers({'host': '0.0.0.0:4000', 'user-agent': 'curl/7.88.1', 'accept': '*/*', 'authorization': 'Bearer sk-1234', 'content-length': '199', 'content-type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'}), 'model_group': 'gpt-3.5-turbo', 'deployment': 'gpt-3.5-turbo-ModelID-gpt-3.5-turbo'}

Logging Proxy Request Object, Header, Url​

Here's how you can access the url, headers, request body sent to the proxy for each request

class MyCustomHandler(CustomLogger):
    async def async_log_success_event(self, kwargs, response_obj, start_time, end_time):
        print(f"On Async Success!")

        litellm_params = kwargs.get("litellm_params", None)
        proxy_server_request = litellm_params.get("proxy_server_request")
        print(proxy_server_request)

Expected Output

{
  "url": "http://testserver/chat/completions",
  "method": "POST",
  "headers": {
    "host": "testserver",
    "accept": "*/*",
    "accept-encoding": "gzip, deflate",
    "connection": "keep-alive",
    "user-agent": "testclient",
    "authorization": "Bearer None",
    "content-length": "105",
    "content-type": "application/json"
  },
  "body": {
    "model": "Azure OpenAI GPT-4 Canada",
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "hi"
      }
    ],
    "max_tokens": 10
  }
}

Logging model_info set in config.yaml​

Here is how to log the model_info set in your proxy config.yaml. Information on setting model_info on config.yaml

class MyCustomHandler(CustomLogger):
    async def async_log_success_event(self, kwargs, response_obj, start_time, end_time):
        print(f"On Async Success!")

        litellm_params = kwargs.get("litellm_params", None)
        model_info = litellm_params.get("model_info")
        print(model_info)

Expected Output

{'mode': 'embedding', 'input_cost_per_token': 0.002}

Logging responses from proxy​

Both /chat/completions and /embeddings responses are available as response_obj

Note: for /chat/completions, both stream=True and non stream responses are available as response_obj

class MyCustomHandler(CustomLogger):
    async def async_log_success_event(self, kwargs, response_obj, start_time, end_time):
        print(f"On Async Success!")
        print(response_obj)

Expected Output /chat/completion [for both stream and non-stream responses]

ModelResponse(
    id='chatcmpl-8Tfu8GoMElwOZuj2JlHBhNHG01PPo',
    choices=[
        Choices(
            finish_reason='stop',

            message=Message(
                content='As an AI language model, I do not have a physical body and therefore do not possess any degree or educational qualifications. My knowledge and abilities come from the programming and algorithms that have been developed by my creators.',
                role='assistant'
            )
        )
    ],

    usage=Usage(
        completion_tokens=42,
        prompt_tokens=5,
        total_tokens=47
    )
)

Expected Output /embeddings

Custom Callback APIs [Async]​

info

This is an Enterprise only feature Get Started with Enterprise here

Use this if you:

  • Want to use custom callbacks written in a non Python programming language
  • Want your callbacks to run on a different microservice

Step 1. Create your generic logging API endpoint​

Set up a generic API endpoint that can receive data in JSON format. The data will be included within a "data" field.

Your server should support the following Request format:

curl --location https://your-domain.com/log-event \
     --request POST \
     --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
     --data '{
       "data": {
         "id": "chatcmpl-8sgE89cEQ4q9biRtxMvDfQU1O82PT",
         "call_type": "acompletion",
         "cache_hit": "None",
         "startTime": "2024-02-15 16:18:44.336280",
         "endTime": "2024-02-15 16:18:45.045539",
         "model": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
         "user": "ishaan-2",
         "modelParameters": "{'temperature': 0.7, 'max_tokens': 10, 'user': 'ishaan-2', 'extra_body': {}}",
         "messages": "[{'role': 'user', 'content': 'This is a test'}]",
         "response": "ModelResponse(id='chatcmpl-8sgE89cEQ4q9biRtxMvDfQU1O82PT', choices=[Choices(finish_reason='length', index=0, message=Message(content='Great! How can I assist you with this test', role='assistant'))], created=1708042724, model='gpt-3.5-turbo-0613', object='chat.completion', system_fingerprint=None, usage=Usage(completion_tokens=10, prompt_tokens=11, total_tokens=21))",
         "usage": "Usage(completion_tokens=10, prompt_tokens=11, total_tokens=21)",
         "metadata": "{}",
         "cost": "3.65e-05"
       }
     }'

Reference FastAPI Python Server

Here's a reference FastAPI Server that is compatible with LiteLLM Proxy:

# this is an example endpoint to receive data from litellm
from fastapi import FastAPI, HTTPException, Request

app = FastAPI()


@app.post("/log-event")
async def log_event(request: Request):
    try:
        print("Received /log-event request")
        # Assuming the incoming request has JSON data
        data = await request.json()
        print("Received request data:")
        print(data)

        # Your additional logic can go here
        # For now, just printing the received data

        return {"message": "Request received successfully"}
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Error processing request: {str(e)}")
        import traceback

        traceback.print_exc()
        raise HTTPException(status_code=500, detail="Internal Server Error")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    import uvicorn
    uvicorn.run(app, host="127.0.0.1", port=4000)


Step 2. Set your GENERIC_LOGGER_ENDPOINT to the endpoint + route we should send callback logs to​

os.environ["GENERIC_LOGGER_ENDPOINT"] = "http://localhost:4000/log-event"

Step 3. Create a config.yaml file and set litellm_settings: success_callback = ["generic"]​

Example litellm proxy config.yaml

model_list:
 - model_name: gpt-3.5-turbo
    litellm_params:
      model: gpt-3.5-turbo
litellm_settings:
  success_callback: ["generic"]

Start the LiteLLM Proxy and make a test request to verify the logs reached your callback API

Logging Proxy Input/Output - Langfuse​

We will use the --config to set litellm.success_callback = ["langfuse"] this will log all successfull LLM calls to langfuse

Step 1 Install langfuse

pip install langfuse>=2.0.0

Step 2: Create a config.yaml file and set litellm_settings: success_callback

model_list:
 - model_name: gpt-3.5-turbo
    litellm_params:
      model: gpt-3.5-turbo
litellm_settings:
  success_callback: ["langfuse"]

Step 3: Start the proxy, make a test request

Start proxy

litellm --config config.yaml --debug

Test Request

litellm --test

Expected output on Langfuse

Logging Metadata to Langfuse​

Pass metadata as part of the request body

curl --location 'http://0.0.0.0:4000/chat/completions' \
    --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    --data '{
    "model": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
    "messages": [
        {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "what llm are you"
        }
    ],
    "metadata": {
        "generation_name": "ishaan-test-generation",
        "generation_id": "gen-id22",
        "trace_id": "trace-id22",
        "trace_user_id": "user-id2"
    }
}'

Logging Proxy Input/Output - Clickhouse​

We will use the --config to set litellm.success_callback = ["clickhouse"] this will log all successfull LLM calls to ClickHouse DB

[Optional] - Docker Compose - LiteLLM Proxy + Self Hosted Clickhouse DB​

Use this docker compose yaml to start LiteLLM Proxy + Clickhouse DB

version: "3.9"
services:
  litellm:
    image: ghcr.io/berriai/litellm:main-latest
    volumes:
      - ./proxy_server_config.yaml:/app/proxy_server_config.yaml # mount your litellm config.yaml
    ports:
      - "4000:4000"
    environment:
      - AZURE_API_KEY=sk-123
  clickhouse:
    image: clickhouse/clickhouse-server
    environment:
      - CLICKHOUSE_DB=litellm-test
      - CLICKHOUSE_USER=admin
      - CLICKHOUSE_DEFAULT_ACCESS_MANAGEMENT=1
      - CLICKHOUSE_PASSWORD=admin
    ports:
      - "8123:8123"

Step 1: Create a config.yaml file and set litellm_settings: success_callback

model_list:
 - model_name: gpt-3.5-turbo
    litellm_params:
      model: gpt-3.5-turbo
litellm_settings:
  success_callback: ["clickhouse"]

Step 2: Set Required env variables for clickhouse

Env Variables for self hosted click house 

CLICKHOUSE_HOST = "localhost"
CLICKHOUSE_PORT = "8123"
CLICKHOUSE_USERNAME = "admin"
CLICKHOUSE_PASSWORD = "admin"

Step 3: Start the proxy, make a test request

Start proxy

litellm --config config.yaml --debug

Test Request

litellm --test

Logging Proxy Input/Output - s3 Buckets​

We will use the --config to set

  • litellm.success_callback = ["s3"]

This will log all successfull LLM calls to s3 Bucket

Step 1 Set AWS Credentials in .env

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = ""
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = ""
AWS_REGION_NAME = ""

Step 2: Create a config.yaml file and set litellm_settings: success_callback

model_list:
 - model_name: gpt-3.5-turbo
    litellm_params:
      model: gpt-3.5-turbo
litellm_settings:
  success_callback: ["s3"]
  s3_callback_params:
    s3_bucket_name: logs-bucket-litellm   # AWS Bucket Name for S3
    s3_region_name: us-west-2              # AWS Region Name for S3
    s3_aws_access_key_id: os.environ/AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID  # us os.environ/<variable name> to pass environment variables. This is AWS Access Key ID for S3
    s3_aws_secret_access_key: os.environ/AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY  # AWS Secret Access Key for S3
    s3_endpoint_url: https://s3.amazonaws.com  # [OPTIONAL] S3 endpoint URL, if you want to use Backblaze/cloudflare s3 buckets

Step 3: Start the proxy, make a test request

Start proxy

litellm --config config.yaml --debug

Test Request

curl --location 'http://0.0.0.0:4000/chat/completions' \
    --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    --data ' {
    "model": "Azure OpenAI GPT-4 East",
    "messages": [
        {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "what llm are you"
        }
    ]
    }'

Your logs should be available on the specified s3 Bucket

Team-based Logging​

Set success callbacks (e.g. langfuse), for a specific team-id. 

litellm_settings:
  default_team_settings: 
    - team_id: my-secret-project
      success_callback: ["langfuse"]
      langfuse_public_key: os.environ/LANGFUSE_PUB_KEY_2
      langfuse_secret: os.environ/LANGFUSE_PRIVATE_KEY_2
    - team_id: ishaans-secret-project
      success_callback: ["langfuse"]
      langfuse_public_key: os.environ/LANGFUSE_PUB_KEY_3
      langfuse_secret: os.environ/LANGFUSE_SECRET_3

Now, when you generate keys for this team-id 

curl -X POST 'http://0.0.0.0:4000/key/generate' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer sk-1234' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-D '{"team_id": "ishaans-secret-project"}'

All requests made with these keys will log data to their team-specific logging.

Logging Proxy Input/Output - DynamoDB​

We will use the --config to set

  • litellm.success_callback = ["dynamodb"]
  • litellm.dynamodb_table_name = "your-table-name"

This will log all successfull LLM calls to DynamoDB

Step 1 Set AWS Credentials in .env

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = ""
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = ""
AWS_REGION_NAME = ""

Step 2: Create a config.yaml file and set litellm_settings: success_callback

model_list:
 - model_name: gpt-3.5-turbo
    litellm_params:
      model: gpt-3.5-turbo
litellm_settings:
  success_callback: ["dynamodb"]
  dynamodb_table_name: your-table-name

Step 3: Start the proxy, make a test request

Start proxy

litellm --config config.yaml --debug

Test Request

curl --location 'http://0.0.0.0:4000/chat/completions' \
    --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    --data ' {
    "model": "Azure OpenAI GPT-4 East",
    "messages": [
        {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "what llm are you"
        }
    ]
    }'

Your logs should be available on DynamoDB

Logging Proxy Input/Output - Sentry​

If api calls fail (llm/database) you can log those to Sentry:

Step 1 Install Sentry

pip install --upgrade sentry-sdk

Step 2: Save your Sentry_DSN and add litellm_settings: failure_callback

export SENTRY_DSN="your-sentry-dsn"
model_list:
 - model_name: gpt-3.5-turbo
    litellm_params:
      model: gpt-3.5-turbo
litellm_settings:
  # other settings
  failure_callback: ["sentry"]
general_settings: 
  database_url: "my-bad-url" # set a fake url to trigger a sentry exception

Step 3: Start the proxy, make a test request

Start proxy

litellm --config config.yaml --debug

Test Request

litellm --test

Logging Proxy Input/Output Traceloop (OpenTelemetry)​

Traceloop allows you to log LLM Input/Output in the OpenTelemetry format

We will use the --config to set litellm.success_callback = ["traceloop"] this will log all successfull LLM calls to traceloop

Step 1 Install traceloop-sdk and set Traceloop API key

pip install traceloop-sdk -U

Traceloop outputs standard OpenTelemetry data that can be connected to your observability stack. Send standard OpenTelemetry from LiteLLM Proxy to Traceloop, Dynatrace, Datadog , New Relic, Honeycomb, Grafana Tempo, Splunk, OpenTelemetry Collector

Step 2: Create a config.yaml file and set litellm_settings: success_callback

model_list:
 - model_name: gpt-3.5-turbo
    litellm_params:
      model: gpt-3.5-turbo
litellm_settings:
  success_callback: ["traceloop"]

Step 3: Start the proxy, make a test request

Start proxy

litellm --config config.yaml --debug

Test Request

curl --location 'http://0.0.0.0:4000/chat/completions' \
    --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    --data ' {
    "model": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
    "messages": [
        {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "what llm are you"
        }
    ]
    }'

Logging Proxy Input/Output Athina​

Athina allows you to log LLM Input/Output for monitoring, analytics, and observability.

We will use the --config to set litellm.success_callback = ["athina"] this will log all successfull LLM calls to athina

Step 1 Set Athina API key

ATHINA_API_KEY = "your-athina-api-key"

Step 2: Create a config.yaml file and set litellm_settings: success_callback

model_list:
  - model_name: gpt-3.5-turbo
    litellm_params:
      model: gpt-3.5-turbo
litellm_settings:
  success_callback: ["athina"]

Step 3: Start the proxy, make a test request

Start proxy

litellm --config config.yaml --debug

Test Request

curl --location 'http://0.0.0.0:4000/chat/completions' \
    --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    --data ' {
    "model": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
    "messages": [
        {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "which llm are you"
        }
    ]
    }'
