​
Overview

NoveumPipecatTracer is an observability integration that maps Pipecat pipeline events into Noveum traces and spans — conversation turns, STT, LLM, TTS, tool/function calls, metrics, errors, and optional audio capture. Traces are viewable in the Noveum dashboard for debugging, analytics, and evaluation of voice agents.

​
Installation

This is a community-maintained package distributed separately from pipecat-ai:

​
Prerequisites

You need a Noveum account and API key. Credentials are configured via noveum_trace.init() — the tracer itself does not accept api_key or project arguments. Set your API key in the NOVEUM_API_KEY environment variable or pass it to init().

​
Usage

Initialize Noveum Trace, then attach the tracer to your pipeline and task using the two-call API:
Once attached, conversation turns and per-service spans are exported to your Noveum project as the pipeline runs.
Audio and transcript capture are configurable: record_audio controls audio upload and capture_text controls transcript/text capture. Review these settings before using the integration with sensitive data.

​
Compatibility

Requires pipecat-ai >= 0.0.108 and Python 3.11+. See the source repository for the latest tested versions and changelog.
