NeMo Agent Toolkit telemetry exporter for ClawMetry

[vivekchand]

Context

NVIDIA's NeMo Agent Toolkit (which NemoClaw builds on) has a plugin-based observability system supporting Phoenix, Langfuse, W&B Weave, Datadog, and others. Building a ClawMetry exporter would let NemoClaw users send observability data directly to ClawMetry cloud without needing the sync daemon.

Opportunity

The NeMo Agent Toolkit uses an event-driven architecture with IntermediateStepManager publishing workflow events to a reactive stream. Custom telemetry exporters can be built as plugins.

Existing exporters include: Phoenix, Langfuse, W&B Weave, Catalyst, Dynatrace, Galileo, LangSmith, OpenTelemetry Collector.

ClawMetry should be on this list.

Implementation

Exporter Plugin

• Create clawmetry-nat Python package (NeMo Agent Toolkit exporter)
• Implement ClawMetryExporter class following NAT exporter interface
• Map NAT workflow events to ClawMetry brain event format
• Support both logging and tracing
• E2E encrypt payloads before sending to ingest.clawmetry.com
• Handle batching and retry (reuse patterns from sync.py)

Configuration

general:
  telemetry:
    tracing:
      clawmetry:
        _type: clawmetry
        api_key: cm_xxx
        node_id: my-agent
        encryption_key: my-secret-key

Integration

• Register as NAT telemetry plugin
• Publish to PyPI as clawmetry-nat
• Submit PR to NeMo Agent Toolkit for official listing
• Add to ClawMetry docs

Dashboard Support

• Accept NAT event format on ingest API (or transform server-side)
• Show NAT workflow traces in brain activity view
• Display NeMo-specific metrics (guardrail triggers, model routing decisions)

Estimated Effort

• Basic exporter: 2-3 days
• Dashboard integration: 1-2 days
• NAT upstream PR: 1 day
