1. Which of the following is OpenLLMetry primarily designed to instrument in an AI application?

   1. Database table schemas and index structures
   2. User interface button clicks and mouse movements
   3. LLM calls, vector operations, and tool invocations
   4. Network packet routing and load balancing

2. What type of data structure does OpenLLMetry use to record information about LLM operations?

   1. Message queue topics
   2. JSON configuration files
   3. OpenTelemetry spans
   4. Relational database tables

3. An AI system can generate which of the following artifacts when scaffolding an OpenLLMetry setup?

   1. Hardware driver installations and firmware updates
   2. User authentication credentials and API keys
   3. Legal compliance certifications and audit reports
   4. Initialization code, span attributes, and sampling rules

4. What aspect of tracing infrastructure requires human decision-making rather than AI automation?

   1. Configuring span attribute naming conventions
   2. Setting up basic sampling percentages
   3. Determining retention windows that satisfy privacy requirements
   4. Writing initialization code for the tracer

5. What security risk is associated with persisting OpenLLMetry traces?

   1. Traces may consume excessive CPU resources
   2. Exporters may fail to compress data efficiently
   3. User prompts could be stored indefinitely and leak across tenants
   4. Traces may become corrupted during network transmission

6. According to best practices, what should be done with prompt content in traces unless retention is explicitly approved?

   1. Encrypt it with a rotating key and store indefinitely
   2. Compress it and send to a third-party analytics service
   3. Convert it to audio format for voice logging
   4. Mask or drop the prompt content from traces

7. What is the purpose of span attributes in OpenLLMetry?

   1. To schedule when traces should be collected
   2. To define visual dashboards for trace visualization
   3. To authenticate users accessing trace data
   4. To attach metadata and context to individual spans for richer tracing

8. What function does a backend exporter config serve in an OpenLLMetry setup?

   1. It sets up user accounts and access permissions
   2. It compiles the application code into executable binaries
   3. It defines how user interface elements should be rendered
   4. It configures where trace data is sent for storage and analysis

9. What is sampling in the context of OpenLLMetry tracing?

   1. A method for encrypting trace data at rest
   2. A technique to selectively capture a subset of traces to reduce volume
   3. An algorithm for ranking search results
   4. The process of converting audio input to text

10. OpenTelemetry, which underlies OpenLLMetry, is primarily concerned with which area?

    1. Machine learning model training optimization
    2. User interface design patterns
    3. Cryptocurrency blockchain validation
    4. Standardized telemetry collection and transmission

11. Why is masking or dropping prompt content in traces considered a privacy best practice?

    1. Because AI models cannot process masked data
    2. Because compression algorithms work better without prompts
    3. Because prompts are always less than 100 characters
    4. Because traces can persist indefinitely and may expose sensitive user data

12. What factor determines appropriate trace retention windows?

    1. The speed of the network connection
    2. Privacy regulations, security policies, and business requirements
    3. The programming language used in the application
    4. The current time of day

13. What must be verified to ensure trace content does not leak across tenants in a multi-user system?

    1. The color scheme of dashboard tiles
    2. Tenant isolation in trace storage and access controls
    3. The operating system version running the exporter
    4. The font size of trace visualization labels

14. Which of the following can AI reliably generate for an OpenLLMetry implementation?

    1. An executive summary for board stakeholders
    2. Initialization code and backend exporter configuration
    3. A guarantee of zero PII in all future traces
    4. A signed legal agreement with a data retention vendor

15. Which of the following is NOT a decision AI can make when setting up tracing infrastructure?

    1. Generating sample span attribute definitions
    2. Deciding how long traces should be retained for compliance
    3. Creating initialization code for the tracer
    4. Producing a backend exporter configuration template
