What changed

  • Map gen_ai.usage.total_tokens to Langfuse observation.usage_details.total on generation observations without cache-bucket normalization.
  • When cached usage is normalized into mutually exclusive Langfuse buckets, omit total so Langfuse derives the aggregate from those buckets.
  • Filter total-token usage from top-level Agent observations together with the existing input, output, and cache usage fields.

Why

PR #2438 added the provider-reported total-token span attribute while intentionally leaving Langfuse mapping and filtering for follow-up work. Without that mapping, generation observations retain an unprocessed raw attribute instead of reporting usage_details.total, and Agent observations retain a usage field even though their other token attributes are removed to prevent trace-level double counting.

Provider total semantics differ for cached requests. For example, Anthropic reports cache reads and cache creation separately from input_tokens, while its model adapter builds TotalTokens from input plus output. Forwarding that total alongside normalized cache buckets would undercount the Langfuse aggregate. This change therefore keeps an explicitly reported total for ordinary usage and lets Langfuse derive it whenever cache normalization is involved; it does not synthesize a total locally.

Testing

  • go test ./telemetry/langfuse -count=1 -cover
  • go test ./telemetry/... -count=1
  • go test -race ./telemetry/langfuse -count=1
  • go vet ./telemetry/...
  • go build ./...
  • Root-module tests passed with low parallelism excluding four macOS host-restricted sandbox/cleanup packages.

Notes for reviewers

No exported Go API changes. The Langfuse OTLP transformation changes only when gen_ai.usage.total_tokens is present. Existing input, output, and cache bucket normalization remains unchanged.

📝 Walkthrough

English

Overview

  • Map gen_ai.usage.total_tokens to observation.usage_details.total.
  • Filter total-token attributes from top-level Agent observations.
  • Preserve provider-reported totals during cache-bucket normalization.
  • Omit totals when providers do not report them.
  • Keep existing input, output, and cache normalization unchanged.

API and compatibility

  • No exported Go API changes.
  • The internal usageDetails structure now stores optional Total int64 as json:"total,omitempty".
  • Existing input, output, and cache telemetry behavior remains compatible.

Risks

  • Incorrect total-token mapping can produce incomplete or inaccurate Langfuse usage data.
  • Cache normalization must not replace provider-reported totals with calculated values.
  • Normalization must omit totals when providers do not report them.
  • Attribute filtering must prevent duplicate or misplaced total-token fields in Agent observations.

Recommended validation

  • Run Langfuse telemetry tests for provider-reported totals, total-only usage, and cache normalization.
  • Run race tests, go vet, and build validation.
  • Inspect generated Langfuse payloads for reported, calculated, normalized, and omitted total-token values.
中文

概要

  • gen_ai.usage.total_tokens 映射到 observation.usage_details.total
  • 从顶层 Agent observation 中过滤 total-token 属性。
  • 在缓存分桶规范化期间保留 provider 报告的 total 值。
  • provider 未报告 total 值时省略该字段。
  • 保持现有 input、output 和 cache 规范化行为不变。

API 与兼容性

  • 未修改导出的 Go API。
  • 内部 usageDetails 结构新增可选的 Total int64 字段,并使用 json:"total,omitempty"
  • 现有 input、output 和 cache telemetry 行为保持兼容。

风险

  • total-token 映射错误可能导致 Langfuse usage 数据不完整或不准确。
  • 缓存规范化不得使用计算值替换 provider 报告的 total 值。
  • provider 未报告 total 值时,规范化逻辑必须省略该字段。
  • 属性过滤必须避免 total-token 字段在 Agent observation 中重复或位置错误。

建议验证

  • 运行 Langfuse telemetry 测试,覆盖 provider 报告的 total、仅报告 total 以及缓存规范化场景。
  • 运行 race 测试、go vet 和构建验证。
  • 检查生成的 Langfuse payload,确认 reported、calculated、normalized 以及 omitted total-token 值均符合预期。

Langfuse total token usage

Layer / File(s) Summary
Usage details and normalization
telemetry/langfuse/attribute.go, telemetry/langfuse/exporter.go, telemetry/langfuse/attribute_test.go, telemetry/langfuse/exporter_test.go
Langfuse usage details now store total tokens. Normalization clears provider totals when cache usage is separated. Tests cover calculated, provider-supplied, and cache-related totals.
Transformed span filtering
telemetry/langfuse/exporter.go, telemetry/langfuse/exporter_test.go
InvokeAgent and LLM transformations filter total-token attributes from observations. Tests verify standard and cache-token filtering.

631-637: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add a regression case for provider totals during cache normalization.

Line 631 uses totalTokens: 150, which equals inputTokens + outputTokens. A faulty implementation that recomputes total would still pass. The provider-total-only case at Lines 635-637 does not exercise normalization.

Add cases where the provider total differs from the input/output sum and is combined with cachedTokens, cacheReadTokens, and cacheCreationTokens. Assert that the exact provider value remains in usage_details.

As per coding guidelines: “Tests must cover intended public behavior, meaningful boundary conditions, and regression cases.”

中文

为缓存归一化增加 provider total 回归测试。

Line 631 使用的 totalTokens: 150 等于 inputTokens + outputTokens。如果实现错误地重新计算 total,该测试仍会通过。Lines 635-637 的仅 total 用例不会执行缓存归一化。

请增加 provider total 不等于输入和输出总和的用例,并分别覆盖 cachedTokenscacheReadTokenscacheCreationTokens。断言 usage_details 保留 provider 提供的准确值。

根据编码规范:“测试必须覆盖预期的公共行为、有意义的边界条件和回归场景。”

Keeping total here undercounts Anthropic cached calls, because TotalTokens is input plus output while cache buckets are exported separately. Derive total after normalization, or omit it so Langfuse derives it.

中文 这里保留 `total` 会低估 Anthropic 缓存调用,因为 `TotalTokens` 是 input 加 output,而缓存桶会单独导出。请在归一化后计算 `total`,或省略它让 Langfuse 计算。

Fixed in 0842588. Cached usage now omits total after normalization so Langfuse derives it from the mutually exclusive buckets; the provider-reported total is retained only when no cache-bucket normalization is needed. The regression table now covers cached, cache-read, and cache-creation usage with deliberately inconsistent provider totals.

The cache-total review concern was addressed in 0842588, including regression coverage for cached, cache-read, and cache-creation usage. The branch remains mergeable with all 167 checks green and is ready for re-review when convenient. Thanks!
