Memory
Understand how your agents store, retrieve, and use contextual information to provide personalized experiences. For more information on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Memory, see Add memory to your AI agent. Memory observability includes three key monitoring areas:
Memories – Monitor memory storage and retrieval patterns
Memory sessions – Monitor memory usage within individual sessions
Traces view – Access detailed trace information for memory operations
To understand short-term or long-memory, see Add memory to your AI agent .
Choose View details to view the memory metrics in graphs.
Under Memories, you can view all the memories associated with your account. Choose a memory Name to view the memory details.
On the Memory details page, you will see the following tabs:
Overview – Displays comprehensive memory performance metrics and usage patterns for the selected memory resource
Associated agents – You can view the agents using the memory. Choose an Agent/Endpoint to view the agent overview page.
Memory API invocations – Total number of API calls made to memory operations including storage, retrieval, and update requests. This metric helps track memory system usage and capacity planning
Extracted memory records – Count of memory records successfully extracted and processed from agent interactions. This includes contextual information, user preferences, and conversation history that agents store for personalization
Server errors – Count of system errors during memory operations. High levels indicate potential infrastructure issues with memory storage or retrieval systems that require investigation
Client errors – Errors resulting from invalid memory requests, malformed data, or permission issues. High client error rates may indicate problems with agent memory integration or data formatting
Throttling – Number of memory requests throttled due to exceeding allowed transaction limits. Monitor this metric to determine if memory access patterns need optimization or if service quotas require adjustment
Latency – Response time for memory operations including storage and retrieval requests. Track P50, P90, and P99 latencies to identify performance bottlenecks and optimize memory access patterns
Memory sessions – You can view the session that contain short-term memory from agent interactions. Under Memory sessions, choose Session ID to view the session dashboard.
Traces – Displays the traces for agents. Under Traces, choose Trace ID to view the traces that invoke a specific memory. You can use the traces dashboard to deep dive into the agent memory usage, and final responses.
Note
The Memory sessions and Traces tab experience and fields are similar across Built-in tools, Gateways, Memory, and Identity observability. For more information on the fields, see Code interpreter tool.
