Langfuse Observability Plugin

This plugin ships bundled with Hermes but is opt-in — it only loads when you explicitly enable it.

Enable

pip install langfuse
hermes plugins enable observability/langfuse

Or check the box in the interactive hermes plugins UI.

Required credentials

Set these in ~/.hermes/.env:

HERMES_LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY=pk-lf-...
HERMES_LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY=sk-lf-...
HERMES_LANGFUSE_BASE_URL=https://cloud.langfuse.com   # or your self-hosted URL

Without the SDK or credentials the hooks no-op silently — the plugin fails open.

Verify

hermes plugins list                 # observability/langfuse should show "enabled"
hermes chat -q "hello"              # then check Langfuse for a "Hermes turn" trace

Optional tuning

HERMES_LANGFUSE_ENV=production       # environment tag
HERMES_LANGFUSE_RELEASE=v1.0.0       # release tag
HERMES_LANGFUSE_SAMPLE_RATE=0.5      # sample 50% of traces
HERMES_LANGFUSE_MAX_CHARS=12000      # max chars per field (default: 12000)
HERMES_LANGFUSE_DEBUG=true           # verbose plugin logging

Disable

hermes plugins disable observability/langfuse
