Logging tags don't work?

[hnykda]

I am trying to add tags to my request to easily distinguish which service is doing the request for easier debugging.

I tried:

1. adding the tags to the body tags: ["tag1"] (https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/proxy/tag_routing#3-make-request-with-tagspaid)
2. adding the tags into the request header 'x-litellm-tags': 'tag1' (https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/proxy/tag_routing#calling-via-request-header)
3. adding the tags into the body "metadata": {"tags": ["tag1"]} (https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/proxy/logging#custom-tags)

(yes, I doublechecked I am actually sending them)

And the tags are no where to be found on the llm proxy side:

Nothing.

Hi @hnykda tracking spend by tags is an enterprise feature - https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/proxy/enterprise#tracking-spend-for-custom-tags

Which is why this isn't showing up

What? I'm not trying to track spending. I just want to log a tag next to a request.

If that's what you mean, you should definitely update the logs docs, at least

i believe the table you're looking at is the spend log table - which is what the spend tag feature is for

Sorry, typo, I meant the docs, not logs.

I don't need the spend log table, I just wanted to be able to just filter requests for visualization. I am totally fine with the tag based spend on routing being behind a premium flag. I don't think it's documented, is it?

Hey @hnykda it's documented here - https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/proxy/enterprise#tracking-spend-for-custom-tags

I just wanted to be able to just filter requests for visualization

We support tags on any llm observability tool for free, would that work?

I'm sorry that it's a pain - we're learning as well.

[hnykda]

Well, I know it's there, but my reasoning was something like "ok, spending on custom tags is premium". But I didn't really derive from that that e.g. just sending and tagging requests on e.g. DB level is paid as well. E.g. here https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/proxy/tag_routing#3-make-request-with-tagspaid or here is AFAICT no mention about premium, is there?

I am sorry, I don't know what I did wrong - it works now when I tried again and it works, so I understand your confusion.
