Elastic has incorporated generative AI fields into the Elastic Common Schema (ECS), ensuring compatibility with OpenTelemetry (OTel) to streamline and standardize monitoring across various generative AI vendors. This integration allows users to normalize data from different sources using a common set of fields for storing event data in Elasticsearch, such as logs and metrics. With the surge in generative AI applications, there is a rising need for fields capturing the context of AI model requests and responses, including timestamps, token counts, and moderation activities. These enhancements facilitate observability, security, and log normalization for generative AI applications. ECS's collaboration with OTel provides a turnkey solution for monitoring and securing AI infrastructures while maintaining compatibility with existing ECS workflows. The initial batch of ECS GenAI fields is available in beta, offering users the opportunity to start integrating them into their workflows, though their final release is subject to change at Elastic's discretion. Users are advised to exercise caution when using third-party AI tools with sensitive information, as Elastic disclaims responsibility for third-party tool content and security.
