Agent Builder collects agent execution traces as OpenTelemetry data in the user's own {es} cluster (data stream traces-agent_builder.otel-). Because these traces capture token usage, error status, span durations, and tool invocations, users can build Kibana alert rules directly on the trace data. There is no dedicated alerting UI. This is an explicitly doc-first deliverable: the team surfaces the data in dashboards first (#7170), then enables alerting through documentation.
Lifecycle: GA in 9.5 (Stack and Serverless). Trace collection and the overview dashboard are GA in 9.5 (gate agentBuilder:experimentalFeatures removed in kibana#276174; traces GA signed off in search-team#15134). Alerting rides on GA trace data plus existing Kibana alerting, which is already GA. agentBuilder:tracing:enabled (default true) is the sole control. (Previously listed as Technical Preview behind the experimental flag; that is stale.)
Content type: How-to. New page in the Agent Builder section next to collect-traces.md (#7171) and agent-traces-dashboard.md (#7170).
Dependencies:
Depends on trace collection docs (#7171, draft PR #7322).
Reuses the span/attribute reference from the dashboard page (#7170, draft PR #7337).
Depends on: trace collection (elastic/search-team#14684) being documented first. Contacts: @meghanmurphy1.
