Detect hallucinations in your RAG LLM applications with Datadog LLM Observability

Hallucinations occur when a large language model (LLM) confidently generates information that is false or unsupported. These responses can spread misinformation that jeopardizes safety, causes reputational damage, and erodes user trust. Augmented generation techniques, such as retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), aim to reduce hallucinations by providing LLMs with relevant context from verified sources and prompting the LLMs to cite these sources in their responses.

Datadog dashboards provide a unified view of your applications, infrastructure, logs, and other observability data—making it easy to monitor health, investigate issues, and share insights across teams. While native Datadog widgets support a broad range of visualization types, some use cases call for more customized representations, particularly when you’re working with unconventional data formats, external sources, or specific transformations.

When your Kubernetes app suddenly has traffic spikes in a distant country, it can be difficult to determine why. Let’s say, for example, we have an e-commerce app that started to receive an unusual surge of visitors from Australia — something we never anticipated. We search for answers in our logs, but without geographic context, we don’t have the full insights we need.
