Every observability vendor claims their platform is ready for agentic AI. Almost none of them tell you what ‘agentic-ready’ actually requires from your infrastructure. In this practitioner-focused session, Andi Mann moves past the marketing and into the stack. Agentic AI systems have strict requirements that most current observability architectures fail to meet: sub-second pipeline latency, schema consistency across heterogeneous sources, intelligent routing that filters signal from noise before ingestion, and open data contracts that let agents act without vendor intermediaries. Drawing on Apica’s work building agentic-ready telemetry infrastructure for enterprise customers, Andi walks through a concrete five-part agentic-readiness framework that platform engineers and architects can apply to their own environments. Attendees will leave with a practical checklist, a clear vocabulary for evaluating vendor claims, and an honest assessment of how far most stacks are from being truly ready for autonomous AI operations.
