During architecture design, the ops team insists the multi-agent system must support reproducible debugging of agent reasoning and cross-service traces after incidents. Which components should you specify up front?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Correct answer: C. Architecture must include observability: cross-service correlation, structured reasoning logs, replay capture, and monitors for coordination failure and quality regression. Pretty empty dashboards (A), monthly CPU PDFs (B), and no production logs (D) will not support incident replay. Budget telemetry storage and privacy review for prompt logs.
Full Explanation
Specifying observability and monitoring components is part of multi-agent architecture: trace correlation, structured reasoning logs, replay, coordination tracking, drift/quality detection, and remediation. Option C matches. Options A, B, and D omit actionable, correlated telemetry. Define retention, PII redaction for prompts, and standard attributes (agent id, tool name, correlation id, token counts).
