# myscale-telemetry vs agentcanvas

*GraphCanon updated Sep 20, 2026*

## Verdict

Pick myscale-telemetry if myScale Telemetry offers open-source observability specifically for LLM applications in Python, requiring additional tools like Grafana and ClickHouse; pick agentcanvas if agentcanvas is for developers and AI practitioners who require detailed visual representations of Pydantic AI agent workflows, including cost breakdowns, extracted from Logfire traces.

[myscale-telemetry](https://pypi.org/project/myscale-telemetry/) reports 55 GitHub stars, 7 forks, and 4 open issues, last pushed Jan 2, 2025. [agentcanvas](https://vstorm.co) has 82 stars, 9 forks, and 0 open issues, last pushed Aug 1, 2026. Figures are from public GitHub metadata via [myscale-telemetry's repository](https://github.com/myscale/myscale-telemetry) and [agentcanvas's repository](https://github.com/vstorm-co/agentcanvas).

## Choose when

### Choose myscale-telemetry if…

- Tags unique to myscale-telemetry: callback, langchain, llm-observability, monitoring.
- - You need to monitor the performance of your large language model (LLM) application and have it integrated with Grafana and ClickHouse data source.

### Choose agentcanvas if…

- Tags unique to agentcanvas: agents, ai-agents, genai, llm.
- Also covers AI Agents.
- To generate interactive HTML diagrams that provide visibility into the tools, sub-agents, tokens, and costs involved in running a Pydantic AI agent.

## When NOT to use myscale-telemetry

- - If you do not have the necessary infrastructure for Grafana and the ClickHouse data source, making it difficult to integrate MyScale Telemetry into your workflow.
- - You are looking for a solution without specific database dependencies; MyScale Telemetry requires a compatible database instance such as MyScaleDB or ClickHouse.

## When NOT to use agentcanvas

- If your AI agents are not built using Pydantic or do not utilize Logfire for tracing, as agentcanvas specifically works with these technologies.
- When the level of detail provided in the HTML diagrams is unnecessary or when you lack access to the required Logfire traces and associated tokens.
