Advanced Observe Duration: 25 min

Observe with Agent Visualizer and Anypoint Monitoring

Prerequisites: connectors-and-mcp-tool-binding

You cannot operate what you cannot see. Observe - the fourth MAF capability - gives you a live picture of the agent network and the telemetry to debug it, closing the loop from design to run.

What you will learn

  • What the Agent Visualizer shows and which metrics it surfaces.
  • How Anypoint Monitoring provides traces, logs, and metrics.
  • Why observability is the feedback loop for governance.

The Agent Visualizer

The Agent Visualizer renders the agent network as a graph so you can see which agents call which, and how traffic flows through brokers and MCP tools. It surfaces interaction metrics such as A2A Calls Sent and MCP Calls Sent (Get Started with Agent Fabric).

Accessible alternative (text/tabular)

For accessibility, here is the same information a visualizer graph conveys, in tabular form:

Source agent Target Interaction Metric
triage-agent billing-agent A2A A2A Calls Sent
account-agent salesforce-tools MCP MCP Calls Sent
enterprise-broker (routes) A2A A2A Calls Sent

Anypoint Monitoring

Beyond the topology view, Anypoint Monitoring collects traces, logs, and metrics for your deployed applications and agents, so you can drill from a network view down to an individual request (Anypoint Monitoring).

Observe closes the loop

Observability is the feedback signal for governance: what you see here informs the policies you tighten back in Track 3. Discover, Govern, Orchestrate, and Observe form a cycle, not a line.

Where to go next

You have completed Track 4 and practiced all four MAF capabilities - Discover, Govern, Orchestrate, and Observe. Continue to Track 5: Platform Engineering to automate the infrastructure, networking, and cost controls behind everything you have deployed.
